Intervention model description: Control Group will receive standard nutrition education package from primary health care.

Intervention Group will receive standard nutrition education package from primary health care enhanced with local specific food-based complementary feeding recommendation.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: Stunting and anemia amongst under-two children are attributable to poor nutrient intakes. The study evaluates the effectiveness of nutrition education on local specific food-based complementary feeding recommendation (CFR) to improve dietary patterns and nutritional intakes, as well as reduce stunting and anemia among under-two children.

* willing to take part in the study and taken venous blood sample by getting signed consent from parents

Exclusion Criteria:

* the child does not present during venous blood sample collection
