Background of the Study
Rural communities in Nigeria, particularly in Borno State, face significant challenges related to malnutrition due to food insecurity, poverty, and limited healthcare access (Abdullahi & Musa, 2024). Nutrition intervention programs are designed to address these challenges by improving dietary intake, providing nutritional supplements, and educating communities on proper nutrition practices (Olawale et al., 2023).
However, the effectiveness of these programs varies based on implementation strategies, government support, and community participation. This study aims to evaluate the success of rural nutrition intervention programs in Borno State by assessing their impact on dietary habits, nutritional outcomes, and overall community health.
Statement of the Problem
Despite numerous rural nutrition intervention efforts in Borno State, malnutrition rates remain high, particularly among children and pregnant women (Aliyu & Ojo, 2024). Many intervention programs lack sustainability, proper monitoring, and community engagement, leading to minimal long-term impact. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs and identify areas for improvement.

-
To assess the impact of rural nutrition intervention programs on dietary behavior.
-
To examine the effectiveness of these programs in reducing malnutrition rates.
-
To identify challenges affecting the implementation and sustainability of nutrition programs.
