This study assessed effects and drivers of mother–child pair participation in agriculture-nutrition-health linkage projects. Data were collected from 2,271 households in Kenya. Three categories of participation regime were defined: none, partial and full participation. Bivariate analyses and multinomial-logit regression were used to assess the effects and drivers of participation, respectively. Results found higher diet quality and consumption of vitamin A foods, and more frequent visits to ante-natal clinics, among full participants. Regression results showed that partial and full participation decreased with the caregivers’ age, de-incentivisation of community health workers and health facility linkage, but increased with dependency ratio and wealth.
