With the generous support of donors 94% of the USD 110M requirement realized in 2017, partners engaged in sustained scale up activities which saw 3.5 milion people were reached, against a target of 2.7 million. This overachievement resulted in the intensification of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) activities following the review of the sector’s community mobilization strategy, which included the engagement of community volunteers and helped improve the outreach to mothers.
