DPO conducted a voucher fair distribution for returnee IDPs and vulnerable households at Alamata town. The project entitled ‘Decommissioning Shelter in Jara IDP Site and Providing Cash for Shelter and NFI to Returnees and Vulnerable Households in Alamata Town’ targeted 2600 returnee and vulnerable household communities. The shelter and settlement project under implementation will last until 15th January and will be a much-needed vital help to the community resume a normal life.
So far, 2600 households received two sets of vouchers for NFI materials (sleeping and kitchen sets). The project will also have cash distribution for the households in the coming few days. The cash distribution will help the target communities fulfil their need of materials not included in the voucher fair. DPO and IOM partnered for the project implementation while EHF donated the project fund. This project is one of many humanitarian response projects DPO implemented in Northern Ethiopia in the past two years.
