dc.descriptionThe existing and potential contribution of capture fisheries and aquaculture to a country’s food security and nutrition can be significant. Fish represents a primary source of protein and essential nutrients, and there is growing recognition of its nutritional and health-promoting qualities. Despite the importance of fish as a resource, to date, there has been limited attention given to the sector’s role in contributing to food security and nutrition strategies at the national level. However, uncertainty over what practical approach to adopt remains a challenge for policymakers and practitioners at all levels due to a lack of proven methodological tools. To help address this challenge the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, with support from World Vision, has developed an innovative stepwise approach that combines theory and practice by establishing a theory of change and associated impact pathways. This work was carried out as part of a consultative process involving expert stakeholders from Kenya. The results obtained demonstrate the utility of this methodological process in helping political decision-makers and field officers formulate and evaluate nutrition-sensitive policies, programmes and interventions.
