Integrated support and COVID-19 risk mitigation for displaced populations in Moyale Woreda in Ethiopia The proposed intervention will provide an integrated response to displaced populations in Moyale woreda. Activities under this project, is estimated to reach a total of 13,657  beneficiaries.

Moyale is a cluster-identified priority area in which the number of returnees and IDPs remain high. According to the Shelter cluster priority gap analysis in Moyale (both Dawaa and Borena side) 32,171 households (HH) are in need of shelter assistance, of which 23,010 are prioritized. Another 32,000 HH are projected by the cluster to be in need of emergency shelter and non-food item (ES/NFI) assistance. The lack of adequate hygiene facilities and access to health services is further limiting the ability to effectively mitigate COVID-19 and its effects.
