      abstract = {This paper aims to explore the influence of  nutrition-sensitive interventions on dietary profiles of  the beneficiaries of IFAD-funded projects. Drawing on a  desk review of 37 IFAD funded projects in the Eastern and  Southern Africa (ESA) region, the study used a cross  sectional survey data from a purposive sample from selected  countries where data collection was done (Kenya, Zambia,  and Mozambique). The findings indicate that the development  interventions have diverse nutritional impacts resulting  from production related activities, ranging from training  to the provision of inputs and services, including labour  and energy- saving technologies. Moreover, results confirm  that agricultural and rural development investments on food  production and household income growth present many  opportunities to positively influence dietary profiles of  households. On the basis of these findings, the paper  recommends the integration of existing and planned  nutrition sensitive interventions targeting behavioural  changes in consumption patterns of the nutritionally  at-risk population.},
