Conclusions:<br />
• Knowledge of key ENA behaviors is very high, between about 80% to 94% for all the ENA messages listed, apart<br />
from feeding of sick children after illness (only 49% knew the message) and frequency of vitamin A supplementation<br />
for children (52%). Practice for this latter ENA message was higher since the majority of children are reached<br />
through the twice-yearly mass campaigns.<br />
• The greatest discrepancy between knowledge and practice is the area of women’s nutrition, whereas most women<br />
knew they should eat more during pregnancy and lactation, only 47% and 57%, respectively, did so.<br />
