This document presents a compilation of innovative and inclusive nutrition-sensitive fisheries (NSF) interventions piloted in Timor-Leste and Indonesia in the areas of fisheries, livelihoods and nutrition, as part of the Nutrition-Sensitive Fisheries Management (NSFM) project. The compilation showcases the diversity of NSF interventions identified and piloted by four communities in Timor-Leste and two in NTT using a participatory action research approach, highlighting grounded approaches to improving nutrition through fisheries while supporting livelihoods and inclusive community governance. The compilation aims to inform policymakers, researchers and practitioners on effective strategies for nutrition-sensitive fisheries management, and to support the scaling and adaptation of successful interventions in other coastal communities facing similar challenges.
