This dataset includes data from surveys conducted for this program containing two rounds of data, the baseline (2018) and the final evaluation of the program (2021) conducted in 76 communities in the department of Baja-Verapaz, Guatemala to a sample of 1628 households with children under 4.5 months and mothers who were in the third trimester of pregnancy at the time of the baseline. The survey includes a broad set of socioeconomic, demographic and nutritional variables. The data sets were anonymized to protect the privacy of the subjects.
