In response to the new arrival of refugees in Ethiopia’s Somali Region after fleeing conflict in Somalia’s Laas Caanood region, Acted proposes a 6-month rapid intervention to provide an emergency and life-saving assistance to 3,000 highly vulnerable refugee households (18,000 individuals) in Bokh Woreda, Danod Woreda and Galhamur Woreda of Doolo Zone, Somali Region. Specifically, Acted will support 600 households through Multi-Purpose Cash Transfer to improve their access to food and other basic needs. Acted will also implement protection activities to improve the wellbeing and the living conditions of 3,000 households by establishing Protection Committees, conducting protection-centered Cash-for-Work activities and protection awareness campaigns, and distributing dignity kits.
