Recommendations for Moving This Strategy Forward It is our recommendation that the consortium should name a partner to manage all SBCC resources including those for agriculture, nutrition-sensitive agriculture, and MIYCN. This could be CRS as the lead partner or another partner. The strategy should be revisited at least annually to be updated with all partners. In Appendices 5 and 6 are tools for developing SBCC activities. Appendix 5 includes specific frameworks for the prioritized practices to help guide programming to address identified barriers and enablers to each practice based on formative research. Appendix 6 provides examples of creative briefs developed to guide SBCC activities to promote nutrition-sensitive agriculture practices regarding pumpkin and fish. Partners should also conduct small-scale formative research to uncover barriers and enablers to the uptake of specific agriculture practices. Monitoring and Evaluation for Behavior Change Note: The following should be consistent with the final EAIN PMP and ongoing monitoring and evaluation activities for the project.
