Support in managing the longer-term impacts of drought and strengthening resilience in Ethiopia

active

The aim of the individual project is to help alleviate the effects of the recent drought and to support efforts to strengthen resilience to future extreme weather events in Ethiopia. Among other things, the health care of pastoral and rural population groups will be improved (including the nutritional situation of children, mothers and pregnant women) and long-term access to drinking water and sanitation facilities will be secured. The recipient and project sponsor of the measure is the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The project consists of three components: water and sanitation, health and food security. The measures pursue structural effects that are intended to ensure a development-oriented, sustainability-oriented approach. The FC funding contribution is EUR 20 million for an implementation period of 60 months.
