Community-based caseworkers played an important role in ensuring that project education, livelihood and awareness-raising strategies contributed to changes in household practices. Regular visits by caseworkers to share and reinforce project messages and address problems affecting children’s school attendance were described by households as an important service provided by the project. Although caseworkers described challenges reaching some households due to distance and limited transportation options, they said their caseload generally made it possible to visit each household at least once a month, and more often when follow-up with schools indicated that household children were missing school.
