- Provided training to 9 543 households in improved crop production techniques, post-production processing and livestock management.
- Conducted a detailed livelihood assessment of 9 000 households in 140 villages to measure recovery from floods, impact of interventions and unresolved issues for future programming.
- Coordination efforts of the Agriculture (and later Food Security) Cluster, laying the foundation for rapidly and effectively reaching people, based on the most urgent and relevant needs.
