Resume

The proposed intervention targets 450 drought-affected households in Bilcin-weyso (250 HHs) and Bali Cilmi (200 HHs) villages in Oodweyne and Burao Districts, Togdheer Region, Somaliland implemented through an existing local partnership. Consecutive failed rains have led to severe water scarcity and food insecurity, critically affecting livelihoods and well-being. The intervention aims to provide immediate humanitarian relief through two key modalities. Emergency Water Assistance: Safe drinking water will be delivered through water trucking to 450 households over a two-month period, reducing health risks and meeting basic domestic needs. Multipurpose Cash Assistance (MPCA): One cycle of cash assistance will be provided to 100 of the most vulnerable households to support access to food, hygiene items, and other essential needs, while enhancing household food security and coping capacity for two months.
