Abstract
Description
This research examines the effectiveness of the Empowered World View (EVW) program in Kigoma and Iringa regions of Tanzania, focusing on reducing child stunting. The program aimed to empower women and safeguard maternal care and nutrition, promoting positive cultural behaviors to protect the rights of mothers and children. The study employed a Difference in Difference approach to investigate the impact of the program in reducing child stunting. The results indicate a notable decrease in the odds of child stunting among those who received the EVW treatment, with an overall Average Treatment Effect on the Treated (ATT) of -1.072 at 95% CI and a p-value of less than 0.01. This suggests that children participating in the EVW program had a 1.072 times lower likelihood of experiencing stunting compared to their non-intervention counterparts. These findings underscore the significance of the EVW program in combating child stunting while shedding light on key determinants that require attention for effective public health interventions.
