Supporting refugees and host communities in Ethiopia

completed

The aim of the measure is to improve access to basic services for South Sudanese refugees and host communities in the Gambella region of Ethiopia. This is intended to improve the health and education situation of the target group. The recipient and project sponsor of the measure is the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF). The project includes the components of water and sanitation, health and food security, and education/protection of children. The measures include infrastructure, benefits in kind and further training. The total cost of the project amounts to EUR 5 million, which is financed entirely from an FC grant. Due to the tense humanitarian emergency and a foreseeable increase in the flow of refugees, the project is being implemented using an expedited procedure in accordance with Section 47 of the FC/TZ LL. The implementation period is six months.
