Overview
This project aims to evaluate the impact of Egyptian Food Bank’s General Feeding Program (GFP), which provides monthly food packages to poor households. The food packages are being redesigned to include more diverse and nutrient dense food items. A complementary awareness campaign will include printed materials, SMS messages, and voice messages, covering 12 key messages about nutrition and food safety over the course of one year. This study will evaluate the impact of the newly designed food package, both in absolute terms as well as relative to the old food package, as well as the contribution of the complementary messages on various nutritional outcomes, including on nutritional intake and beneficiaries’ Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP). These insights will help in refining the design of the GFP and other complementary programs and can inform the design of food subsidy programs in Egypt and beyond.
