Resume

Beletweyne Emergency Response Project - aims to contribute to food security by improving households’ immediate access to food through provision of multipurpose unconditional cash assistance to 150 crisis and displacement affected households in 4 villages of Beletweyne district, Hiran region: The villages are: Guricado, Mareer gaagaab, Shiirkaneeco, and Tuulo Hiiran. Unconditional Cash Transfers (UCTs) will improve beneficiaries' access to food and other basic needs including safe water, medicine/healthcare, and shelter, while also preventing households (HHs) from resorting to negative coping mechanisms, which erode resilience in the longer term. Our local partner DAN will transfer cash to beneficiaries through Mobile Money Transfer Systems. Each of the beneficiary households will receive 4 months of cash transfers of USD 60 per month. The cash transfers will take place in June, July, August, and September 2022.
