  8. Lessons Learnt • RRM missions have provided opportunity for intersectoral integration and complementarity of services i.e. registration of people for food distribution, nutrition, vaccination, WASH, Health etc. etc. • Planning for larger numbers than the area population in necessary. This covers IPDs and those attracted by services being offered • The beneficiary communities have all been receptive/cooperative-this has happened in all RRM missions • Involvement of Health and WASH partners will help in addressing the many health issues in the targeted communities • Follow up of all locations will help in finding out the evolution of needs and further assistance required

  9. Conclusion • There is great need to advocate for a Nutrition partners to work in identified locations. This will help in sustaining the gains made by RRM mission effort. In the event that this is not possible, follow up missions may need to be considered.
