    Agriculture and livelihood interventions were urgently required to restart food production. Following the conflict in Tigray, the Tigray Bureau of Agriculture estimated that damage incurred in the agriculture sector alone was ETB 120 billion (about USD 2 billion). The protracted conflict affected about 1.1 million households dependent on agriculture for livelihoods, income and food security. This scenario had far-reaching food security consequences, with an Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis released in June 2021 indicating that approximately 5.5 million people in Tigray and neighbouring conflict-affected areas of Afar and Amhara regions were facing Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse levels of acute food insecurity and required emergency assistance to meet their basic needs. In response, the project carried out the targeted distribution of agricultural inputs (fertilizer and seeds), as well as the provision of trainings on fertilizer application and handling, good agronomic practices, and post-harvest handling. The project successfully reached 283 747 conflict-affected households (approximately 1 418 735 people), of whom 121 481 were headed by women (42 percent). The total households reached represent 82 percent of the planned target of 344 000 households.
