FGD3 | Â | Same comment as above, re: completion of registers, logs, and diaries |
Field notes | LHWs clearly view their position and work with pride: this is evident in the way they dress and authoritative way they carry themselves. Most take their responsibilities seriously, with the intent of fulfilling them. | On a daily or weekly basis, LHWs perform, at a minimum: nonformal preschool activities, ration distribution, 1–2 meetings related to maternal and child health or related issues, home visits, meetings with or visits by supervisors, and completion of various registers. |
