cassettes, developed by the original program, which promoted breastfeeding in the Malagasy language, were also distributed to local taxi drivers and bus drivers to be played in their vehicles. 12
II. Surveys Objectives and Methodology 1.) Objectives This final assessment has two main objectives: The first objective was to evaluate project results. An end-line survey was conducted in November 2005 to compare final results to pre-project values measured in the 2000 baseline. For comparison purposes, the end-line survey comprises two distinct domains. The first domain represents the BASICS I project’s two original districts (ODs), Antsirabe II and Fianarantsoa II, in which community interventions have been active since October 1996, initially under BASICS and from early 2000 under LINKAGES. The BASICS I baseline data obtained in October 1996 serve as a comparison to the present 2005 end line survey conducted by LINKAGES in these two districts. The second domain represents six of the seven project districts (PDs) originally included in the LINKAGES/JSI February 2000 baseline. Activities in these districts were carried out by LINKAGES from February 2000 through November 2005. Because of some key differences in the way in which the OD and PD baseline surveys were conducted, the data from the two domains cannot be combined. Hence, these data sets have been analyzed separately. Whenever possible, findings from the project are also compared to data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) of 1997 and 2003-04. The second objective was to assess trends over time of the key ENA indicators being promoted through the behavior change strategy in the eight districts (two OD districts and six PD districts). A RAP (Rapid Assessment Procedure) survey was used to follow-up to previous RAPs conducted annually since October 2000. In addition, the RAP 2005 results pertaining to the feeding of infants 6-23 months will form the basis of an assessment of the effectiveness of an intensified effort carried out since late 2004 to improve the complementary feeding and breastfeeding practices of children 6-23 months. For both the end-line surveys in ODs and PDs and the RAP, additional objectives included assessing immunization levels (EPI) and family planning practices, particularly of LAM, as these were originally promoted by LINKAGES field partner, JSI. There is interest as to the current levels of these indicators after the departure of JSI. 13
