Definition & calculation
Count households that received at least one qualifying agricultural input package (e.g. seeds, tools, fertiliser, livestock) or completed a defined technical training, deduplicated across activities so a household receiving both is counted once.
Means of verification
Input distribution records, training attendance sheets, beneficiary registers
Interpretation
Direction: Higher is better
Typical reporting frequency: Monthly or quarterly
Guidance & common pitfalls
Disaggregate by sex of household head where household-level counts are used; specify the input package so quantity/quality can be assessed separately, and do not double-count a household under both inputs and training. Aligned with Food Security Cluster and Sphere output conventions.
