1) Staff numbers expressed in annual full-time equivalent positions.

2) Beneficiary data by sector of activity: the number of people having benefitted directly from the actions of HI and its partners in 2020. Some people benefitted from a number of services and/or activities. Consequently, despite our best efforts, a few of them may have been counted more than once. This is non-exhaustive data that does not include all sectors of HI’s activity.
