Nutrition sensitive interventions involve '''multiple sectors''' (agriculture, health, social protection, education, water supply plus sanitation) and include clear '''nutrition objectives'''. In particular, objectives that enable communities to achieve food and nutrition security. In several of the definitions of nutrition sensitive development, it is stressed that it will only contribute to improved nutrition when these objectives are included and supported by (national) government policies. Only governments can directly influence relevant areas for legislation. In addition, governments could pro-actively implement and/or support programs that directly contribute to nutrition improvement among target groups.

In the case of nutrition sensitive value chains, crucial elements are '''women's empowerment''' and awareness raising on nutrition, explaining the importance of healthy food throughout the lifecycle. For more details refer to [[Nutrition Education - Design]]. A practical toolkit on how to integrate a gender perspective in agricultural value chains, can be found here: [http://genderinvaluechains.ningagriprofocus.com/page/toolkit intro AgriProFocus].
