Food insecurity and malnutrition are priority development challenges of Ethiopia. To counter the rnproblem, the country embraced the nutrition sensitive agriculture approach and taken decisive rnmeasures relevant for wide implementation of the practice. Nutrition sensitive agriculturerninterventions that are implemented in worst affected parts of the country are already producing rnnumber of encouraging results. This study assessed the extent to which the desired welfare rnoutcomes are realized in the intervention beneficiary Basona Worena Woreda as compared to the rnAgolela Tera Woreda that did not benefit from such intervention. Administratively, these woredas rnare situated in North Shoa Zone of Amhara Region. Purposive and simple random sampling rnprocedures were used to select these two Woredas, and the 262 representative householdsrnrespectively. The study employed key informantsâ€™ interview checklists and structured rnquestionnaires to gather relevant data, which was then analyzed using descriptive statistics and an rneconometric propensity score matching model. The study findings demonstrated that the rnintervention has a significant and positive influence on assessed welfare outcomes namely women rnempowerment, on-farm production and consumption of nutritious diets, household income, and rnnutrition knowledge. Of the examined women empowerment domains, appreciable improvement rnwas made in leadership and access to resources. Regarding the outcome on production and rnconsumption diversity, mothersâ€™ and childrenâ€™s consumption was seriously constrained by sociocultural and religious factors. Despite these challenges, intervention beneficiary women and their rnchildren have had higher minimum dietary diversity than non-beneficiary women and their rnchildren. The home production of nutrient dense food sources positively affected the consumption rnof these items although extremely poor families opted to sale part or the entire farm produce in rnorder to generate the badly needed cash. To countervail this challenge, future nutrition sensitive rnagriculture intervention programs should consider livelihood and income diversification rnopportunities as part of the scheme so as to allow the poor households use the home produced rnnutrient dense foods for intended purpose. In addition, the sustained and wider dissemination of rnthe nutrition sensitive agriculture approach would require building the capacity of key actors and rninstitutionalizing the scheme in the regular publicly supported extension programs.
