Rural advisory services are a possible channel for improving nutrition in rural communities because of their ability to improve household practices through consistent service provision and far-reaching networks. Although leveraging these services for improved nutrition is not a new concept, questions remain on how to best deliver nutrition-sensitive agricultural services to rural households through them. The Nutrition Working Group (NWG) provides a central forum for Rural Advisory Services actors to create, share, and promote good practices on this topic that will inform their own practices and policy at all levels.
