Objective: The current study assessed changes in children and mothers’ nutritional status before and after raising Bangladeshi households out of extreme poverty through an income-generating activities (IGA) programme. Design: Extreme poor households took part in the IGA programme for 2 years and recruitment took place over four waves in annual cycles. Children and mothers were measured with regarding their nutritional status before and after the IGA programme commenced. Settings: Rural Bangladesh. Subjects: Three-hundred and eighty-two children under 5 years of age at recruitment, and their mothers. Results: After 2 years of the IGA programme, the prevalence of stunting significantly declined from 40·3 % to 33·0 % ( P = 0·003), anaemia declined from 51·6 % to 44·0 % ( P = 0·020) while mothers’ CED (Chronic Energy Deficiency) declined from 52·0 % to 42·7 % ( P Conclusion: The IGA programme was associated with increased household socio-economic security, such as asset accumulation, food security and sanitation, and with improvements in the nutritional status of children and their mothers in extreme poor households
