Small fish nutrition: Manual for community health and extension workers

Abstract

The “Small fish nutrition: Manual for community health and extension workers” is a practical tool designed to support field-level health and extension workers in promoting the nutritional value of small indigenous fish species among rural communities in Bangladesh. The guide provides simple, evidence-based and pictorial messages to help families understand how small fish contribute to improved diets, child growth and development, and community well-being. By using this handout, extension workers can effectively disseminate key nutrition messages that encourage the inclusion of small fish in daily meals for better health and nutrition outcomes. This document has been developed under the CGIAR Scaling for Impact (S4I) Program that bridges research innovations with practical delivery mechanisms to impact at scale.
