Abstract

The Zero Hunger programme aims to eradicate hunger and malnutrition by in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2. In Ethiopia, women farmers play a crucial role due to their significant contribution to food production and nutrition security. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative survey data with qualitative interviews to evaluate the impact of delivered assistance packages on food security outcomes among women farmers in two selected villages. Quantitative analysis revealed that 65% of participants showed significant improvements in household food availability and dietary diversity after receiving the assistance packages, compared to baseline levels. The findings suggest that tailored delivery mechanisms can effectively enhance food security outcomes among women farmers in Ethiopia. Recommendations are provided for scaling up these interventions across broader regions. Policy recommendations include replicating successful intervention models, integrating gender-sensitive policies into agricultural development programmes, and enhancing community engagement to ensure sustainable impact.
