Anweshan conducted an hour-long Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on 28th March 2018 among five mothers who have completed tool assessment of EN-SMILING pilot project of Golden Community. It was conducted strictly under the guideline provided following the qualitative study approach and took place in the Jovial International Pre-school at Gatthaghar, Bhaktapur. 

On 30th March, SSI was conducted among two assessors who performed the tool assessment of the EN-SMILING pilot study. We took a qualitative interview that provided valuable data on the tool’s suitability and applicability, as well as ways that it could be improved. The objective of the pilot study project was to (i) assess opinion regarding the suitability of performing the tools and the timing of the process from the perspective of mothers/primary caregivers and (ii) asses the opinion regarding the suitability and practicability of the tool and timing of the process along with app used as tool from the assessor's viewpoint. A study project report was developed on 9th April which included study methodology, key findings as two of the project report domains.
