USAID Nutrition Resource Hub
The pathways and principles explored in this brief provide a summary of the current state of knowledge of ways to use agriculture to improve nutrition. Broadly accepted among development partners, these concepts are based on the best evidence available from the literature on food security, health, and nutrition and are supported by the experiences of field practitioners, including those implementing activities under Feed the Future. These concepts can aid in the design and implementation of nutrition-sensitive agriculture programs. This brief does not assume that all agricultural development activities are "nutrition sensitive."

This course teaches learners how to apply theories of social and behavior change communication and advanced statistical methods to improve the measurement of health communication impact. Learners develop a theory of change to guide the design of impact analysis, describe the types of research designs and the strengths and weaknesses of each, and identify threats to the validity of causal inferences and how to overcome them.
