This synthesis aims to provide an updated and complete list of current guidance, institutional strategies, and other publications released by international development institutions and interagency UN bodies on maximizing nutrition impact through agriculture, and will provide an analysis of the key messages currently available. The purpose of this paper is to provide accessible information on what the international development community is saying on this topic, to underscore key points of emerging consensus and to expose differences that may be potentially confusing to implementers or which offer opportunities for further refinement of guidance and strategies. The main audience is country-level policy-makers and programplanners; a secondary audience is the international development community, which has an opportunity to amplify key messages that have been voiced independently by separate institutions. In alignment with the Rome Principles (2009), this synthesis helps to foster strategic coordination between institutions and to strive for comprehensive, sustainable agricultural, food security, nutrition and rural development programs.
