Mean age of the adolescent girls was 12.31 years and 12.49 years in the control and intervention arms respectively. Percentages of consumption of organ meat, vitamin A-rich fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds were higher in the intervention arm than in the control arm at the end-line. The mean dietary diversity score remained unchanged in the control arm at 5.55 (95% CI: 5.34–5.76) at baseline and 5.32 (95% CI: 5.11–5.54) at the endline. After the intervention, mean dietary diversity increased from 4.89 (95% CI: 4.67–5.10) at baseline to this mean was 5.66 (95% CI: 5.43–5.88) at the endline. Result from the difference-in-difference analysis revealed that the mean dietary diversity was likely to increase by 1 unit due to intervention.
