The project was able to reach a large number of farmers due to its commitment to partnering with government bodies responsible for health, agriculture and gender. The efforts made to build relationships, in particular with extension services, allowed for the scaling up of the project and for its reach to be expanded. However, given the high levels of staff turnover it is less clear whether the changes can be sustained. This report presents findings from a project “rapid assessment.”application/pdfenAGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONCHICKPEASBEANSPULSESNUTRITIONDIETARY DIVERSITYEXTENSION SERVICESAGRICULTURAL INNOVATIONSFOOD SECURITYSCALING UPRURAL ECONOMYETHIOPIASOUTH OF SAHARASynthesis Report
