Abstract: Human health depends on what is eaten or not eaten, Nutrition is key in developing and maintaining optimal health, hence the necessity for nutrition education. This is because a nutritionally educated person is an asset to himself and to others around. To achieve the aim and objectives of nutrition education, appropriate materials and approaches should be employed for a successful teaching-learning process. Studies have recognized information, education and communication (IEC) as one of the practicable and effective approaches that can be used in addressing a wide range of health-related issues. This paper, therefore, discusses use of IEC-based material as an effective-learning strategy in nutrition education in a community setting.
