• A call for tender was published to select implementing partners for Smallholder Agricultural Market Support (SAMS) and food assistance for assets (FFA) activities for the period October 2019-January 2020. The Committee for the selection of cooperating partners selected eight offers from national NGOs. Field level agreements (FLAs) are being prepared and project implementation is due to start in November covering eight prefectures and a total of 5,520 SAMS and FFA beneficiaries.
