Alive and Thrive; Open Access; IFPRI1; CRP4, PHND; A4NH, CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH), This dataset is the result of the frontline health worker (FLW) survey conducted to gather data at baseline as a part of an impact evaluation study of Alive & Thrive (A&T) interventions delivered through Building Resources Across Communities' (BRAC) Essential Health Care (EHC) Program in Bangladesh. The objective of the impact evaluation study is to evaluate the synergistic impact of A&T’s community component along with media communications and private sector activities such as the promotion and integration of micronutrient powders. A&T is a six-year initiative to facilitate change for improved infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices at scale in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Viet Nam. The goal of A&T is to reduce avoidable death and disability due to suboptimal IYCF in the developing world by increasing exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) until 6 months of age and reducing stunting of children 0-24 months of age. In Bangladesh, A&T is working with the government, nongovernmental organizations, and private initiatives to support the implementation of the National IYCF Strategy and Action Plan. The BRAC organization is delivering A&T’s community interventions within its EHC Program and its Maternal, Neonatal, and Child Health (MNCH) Program. BRAC’s frontline health workers, known as Shasthya Shebika and Shasthya Kormi, delivered age-appropriate IYCF counseling and support services during home visits, antenatal and postnatal sessions, and health forums. The baseline survey conducted as part of the impact evaluation of A&T interventions delivered through BRAC’s EHC platform had four components—(i) census, (ii) household survey, (iii) community survey, and (iv) frontline health workers survey. The census gathered data on household composition and child age, and was used to generate the sampling frame for the survey in the selected survey villages. The household survey captured the main impact indicators for A&T (WHO-recommended IYCF indicators and child anthropometry), use
