A study of the combined interventions in about 1,200 children through 24 months of age revealed that both the nutrition intervention and the early childhood development intervention significantly improved children's development, though the combined interventions did not have an additive effect, said Zulfiqar Bhutta, Robert Harding Inaugural Chair in Global Child Health at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, founding director of the Centre of Excellence in Women and Child Health at Aga Khan University, and co-chair of the forum. Bhutta also observed that on-the-job coaching, supportive supervision, and master trainers for the lady health workers all improved the quality of the interventions and helped the lady health workers cope with the additional demands on their time.

To ensure effective implementation of these policies and programs, national governments often develop multisectoral structures with the participation of governmental agencies, NGOs, and other civil society and private sector organizations.
