Instructions: You are a Monitoring and Evaluation Officer at an organization in Cambodia who has partnered with the Ministry of Health to
conduct a social marketing campaign to reduce anemia among secondary school girls by increasing iron-folic acid (IFA) supplementation. You are

Background: A baseline evaluation was conducted and included a questionnaire that was administered to all 600 girls across the 5 target
secondary schools. The evaluation found that only 12% of the girls had any knowledge about anemia and the importance of IFA
supplementation, and only 3% took IFA supplements.

Review the statements in the text bank below and place them in the appropriate location of the M&E plan.
