Malnutrition is a global challenge especially in the developing countries. Nigeria is the tenth highest country with under-five mortalities globally and the third highest country with stunted growth among children (43%). In order to reduce the malnutrition rate, the National Strategic Plan of Action for Nutrition (NSPAN) was adopted in 2014.

This article critically evaluated three delivery processes that may promote community participation in maternal and, infants, young child feeding nutrition interventions in the Nigeria nutritional policy and these include, behavioural change communication (BCC), capacity building (CB) and advocacy &resource mobilisation (ARB).
