The one-paragraph answer: years, implementer, funder and purpose, each from document metadata.
Exclusive breastfeeding -- no supplementation with water, other liquids, or solids -- during the first four to six months, followed by partial breastfeeding through at least the end of the first year, has recognized health benefits, especially for infants in high-risk situations. Inappropriate feeding practices, often characterized by early introduction of liquids or other foods, increase the risk of infant morbidity and mortality. This report summarizes the results from a field test in Guatemala of the A.I.D.-sponsored "Guide to Assessing the Economic Value of Breastfeeding." The report estimates data for the following categories; (1) excess infant mortality; (2) excess infant morbidity; (3) public health costs associated with excess morbidity; (4) percent of health budget devoted to excess morbidity; (5) costs of infant formula and supplies in public institutions; (6) percent of health budget devoted to supplies and staffing associated with bottle feeding; (7) total number of births currently averted by breastfeeding; (8) annual interest on the country's debt attributable to the import of breast milk substitutes; (9) household costs associated with the use of breast milk subst

Districts, regions and facilities the program's own documents name, with what the document says it did there. Source: sentences in the program's documents
Districts, regions and facilities named in the program's own documents, not verified sites. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far.
Sample Built from district names in Malawi documents while the full place data loads; it is not yet the finished place list.
Solid: the documents describe the program's work there. Faint: named in the program's documents. Bigger means more mentions. Shown: region or province, district, facility; squares are facilities.
Showing 8 of 22 places.
Countries where this program operated, set by the countries its documents name most often. Countries only tagged on documents are listed apart. Source: document tags, scope rule
Scope: regional. How the scope was set is not described yet. High confidence.
How sure we are: 0.9.
When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
