ALIMA IN ETHIOPIA

At the end of March 2022, ALIMA visited Ethiopia for the first time to develop official contacts and gather enough information to set up an ALIMA mission in the country. In May 2022, ALIMA conducted an exploratory mission in the Afder zone in order to better understand the context, and to assess the health and nutrition needs, to identify the need for a humanitarian intervention. Three woredas were targeted: Hargele, Barey and Elkare. The selection was based on the latest national hotspot classification (all three are priority one), several health indicators shared by the Regional Health Bureau (RHB), recent data from the regional nutrition cluster showing rising acute malnutrition levels, the Famine Early Warning Systems Network forecasts on food security (all three would be IPC level 4 - Emergency phase), displacement data (IOM), and last but not least the low presence of other actors and partners.

The intervention will target i) the health sector through access to free quality care for children under 5 years old, the provision of basic maternal care and the medical management of SGBV cases; and ii) the nutrition sector through the management of under 5 years old SAM cases.

The environmental impact of the project and PSEA are transversal. This project also includes an emergency response component for health or humanitarian crises in the country (epidemics and/or population displacement), which will be implemented in partnership with the authorities and existing RRM mechanisms

MISSION LOCATION : Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
