The primary goals of this project are twofold: to mitigate the ongoing food crisis and enhance nutritional well-being. Specifically, the project aims to achieve the following key outcomes:
Enhanced Nutrition Services: Ensuring increased access to emergency nutrition services for vulnerable groups, including children under five years old, pregnant and lactating women, elders, and mothers/caretakers of children under two years old. This entails both preventive and curative measures.
Improved Household Resilience: Elevating the purchasing power and nutritional outcomes of chronically food-insecure households in the Kadaduma district. This involves providing support that enables these households to meet immediate needs without resorting to negative coping strategies
Project Interventions: The consortium's efforts are strategically channeled through three distinct intervention areas:
1. Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL): This aspect involves empowering communities through initiatives such as enhanced crop seeds, restocking of dairy goats, pasture enclosure to improve livestock, and the rehabilitation of ponds for increased water access.
2. Nutrition: Aiming to bolster nutrition support, the project focuses on both Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) and Maternal Infant and Young Children Feeding in Emergencies (MIYCN-E). These efforts target the most vulnerable groups with specialized care.
3. Cash Programming: Providing a vital lifeline to affected families, the project integrates cash assistance into its framework. This approach helps bridge income gaps, offers flexibility in addressing basic needs, and prevents negative coping mechanisms. A particular focus is placed on empowering female-headed households, adolescent girls, and mothers of children with varying degrees of malnutrition.
The overall objective of the project is to save lives, prevent mortality rates, and reduce the number of acute malnutrition and disease cases in targeted woreda (Hudet) in the Somali region, of Ethiopia.
