The development organizations are facing challenges in addressing hunger and poverty epidemic across the world despite establishing robust advocacy strategies. Rural communities in Cameroon have showed significant change in terms of empowerment and hunger reduction which has prompted the need to examine the extent of implementation of UNICEF advocacy strategies that are community owned, led and managed towards hunger reduction. The study adopted resource mobilization theory and utilized qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews and focus groups with 36 purposeful samples from women's groups, farmer's groups, youth, health workers, and traditional authorities. The study established that advocacy strategies employed by UNICEF have potentially reduced malnutrition and increased Agro-ecological resilience among the local communities because of incorporation of traditional agricultural knowledge and modern practices. The study recommends adoption of multi-stakeholder approaches, culturally appropriate programs, and follow up systems to promotes inclusivity and ensures diverse perspectives are considered and facilitates sustainable solutions through collaboration and collective ownership. The future research needs to examine how innovative digital tools can complement participatory food security and community engagement, and monitoring and evaluation efforts.
