March 2023 – Ethiopia is facing many drivers of humanitarian need, including the ongoing impact of the recent conflict between government and Tigray People’s Liberation Front forces in the north, increasing conflict and insecurity in or between several other regions, a devastating drought in the south and east, and the presence of nearly 900,000 refugees seeking safety on its soil. As a result, Ethiopia currently faces severe food insecurity, acute malnutrition, and significant population displacement. Altogether, more than 20 million people are estimated to require some type of humanitarian assistance in 2023. With GAC’s support, World Vision addresses the water, sanitation and hygiene, nutrition, and protection needs of conflict-affected people in Ethiopia’s Afar, Amhara, and Tigray regions. Project activities include: (1) restoring damaged water and sanitation facilities serving internally displaced persons and host communities; (2) improving detection and treatment of acute malnutrition; and (3) providing protection services (safe spaces for women and children, case management and psychosocial support for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence) and essential non-food items to vulnerable people.

Return to topThe expected outcomes of this project include: (1) improved access to safe water and sanitation; (2) reduced rates of acute malnutrition; (3) improved access to support for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence; and (4) reduced use of negative coping strategies to meet basic needs amongst conflict-affected households. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated, and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
