To begin with, we express our great appreciation to the women, household members, community members, health facility staff, and other stakeholders who devoted their valuable time to share their invaluable experiences, opinions, and thoughts for the research. We also thank the many community leaders and health facility staff who provided information to the quantitative and qualitative teams. We thank the government of Nepal, including the Family Health Division of Ministry of Health and Population, particularly Dr. Puspha Chaudhary and the Child Health Division, particularly Dr. Krishna Prasad Paudel, for support for the intervention and evaluation. We also acknowledge the Department of Health Services and District Public Health offices from Baglung, Parbat, and Syangja, and the 12 health facilities that provided necessary support and information for the qualitative component. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Asia Bureau and the USAID Nepal mission provided financial support. We extend our appreciation to their staff, including Debendra Adhikari, Jessica Healey, and Hari Koirala (USAID/Nepal) and Kristina Yarrow and Vera Zlidar (USAID Asia Bureau) who provided input and other assistance. Ana Djapovic Scholl (USAID, Office of HIV/AIDS, Division of Strategic Planning, Evaluation and Reporting) and Patty Aleman (USAID) were instrumental in the inception of the Gender, Policy, and Measurement Program (GPM) and also provided feedback and assistance. The Institute for Social and Environmental Research-Nepal (ISER-N) and Research Inputs & Development Action International (RIDA) implemented the data collection and conducted the preliminary data analysis. Both organizations faced a variety of challenges, including data collection during the rainy season, staff vehicle accidents, and short timelines — all of which they handled with great skill.
