The target population is about 1520 individuals (230 men, 230 women, 530 boys, and 530) affected by unwanted displacement, COVID-19 imposed unemployment, drought (due to the reduction of pasture selling their animals), etc. Most of these people are very poor that including vulnerable women-headed, child-headed, people with disability, the elderly, and others. Because of conflict in the past, these people experienced multiple displacements. The prolonged conflict in the country and unemployment condition affected these people, who lack resources to repair/upgrade their houses and sanitation. The REACH assessment also showed because of poverty many percentages of HHs are not able to build and/or repair their houses.

Moreover, the sanitation improvement will be encouraging as part of the shelter and basic hygienic awareness to all the targeted beneficiaries, this has been communicated with WASH Cluster at the regional and national levels. ESNFI and AHF partners will be coordinated during the proposal development and implementation to harmonize the intervention and avoid duplication of services. The line department will also be informed during different stages and implementation of the activities.
