: One of the research partners, BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD), is part of the private university BRAC University. It is a separate entity from the non-governmental organisations BRAC, who is delivering the intervention. Still, the two entities have worked closely (e.g. BIGD provides research and evaluation of BRAC programmes). As such, a conflict of interest policy has been instituted for this research project and will be overseen by the other research partner LSHTM. LSHTM has no potential conflicts of interest with BRAC.
