DPO signed a project agreement with HELVETAS entitled “Provision of Lifesaving and Recovery Support to Conflict Affected Communities in Tigray Regional State, Ethiopia”. The project fund is obtained from SWISS SOLIDARITY through HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation.
The project targeted conflict affected food insecure communities in Samre and Tselemti woredas of Tigray region to be supported through life-saving and early recovery assistance of multi-purpose cash and the provision of agricultural seed.
In the project 3,100 Households will receive agricultural seed support to use for the coming agricultural season, while 650 identified most-vulnerable Households receive multi-purpose cash assistance (MPCA) in the two woredas identified.
The project will contribute to the early recovery effort of the communities through enhancing their reengagement in agricultural activities and improve their food security from the resulting yield. A total of 18,750 members of conflict affected communities will benefit from the project.
The project started with a refresher training to staffs from HELVETAS, DPO and partners on Core CVA Skill delivered by experts at Vibes Hotel, Addis Ababa. DPO reiterates the significance of such capacity building efforts by partners and praised HELVETAS for the effort.
