Emergency Nutrition Response Project In six selected woredas in Tigray, Oromia, and Afar Consecutive seasons of below-normal rainfall exacerbated by the strongest climatic event in decades have caused agricultural, livestock, food security, nutrition and health conditions to decline in West Guji and Western Harerege Zone of Oromia, Tselemti Woreda and teru amp Chifra woredas of Araf Region of the Country. The diminishing food security situation is contributing to high rates of malnutrition, water shortages, and emergency humanitarian needs in affected parts of the country. 
To reflect on that, due to ethnic and border related conflict hundreds of thousands of Oromo Region, West Guji Zone communities were displaced due to the conflict with Gedio Zone, SNNPR. Following the influx of IDPs, MCMDO is operational in West Guji Zone Kercha and Hambela Wamena Woredas supporting with CMAM program from the funding source of EHF, As Humanitarian point of view, MCMDO strongly recommended to extend the project from January to May 2020 in the midst of concrete rationalization. The project will support and provide the life saving nutrition services for under five children and PLW . The targeted Woredas (IDPs) are highly vulnerable communities with who have limited access to nutrition services. The intervention is required to responds and supports the increased needs for early identification and treatment of acute malnutrition with tangible reasons 
The IDPs/Returnees are in transitional phase, they have not well rehabilitated in terms of food/shelters and clean water for drinking which aggravates their health problems and end resulted with malnutrition.

Even though the IDP's are returned starting from June 2019 and they are dependant for basic needs especially daily food consumption, and still in their Kebele collective centers and security threat restricted community movement for in search of basic needs and aggravating the food insecurity situation in different angles, More over the Woreda officials are quite new for Emergency nutrition response. Due to this it needs close support to cascade the CMAM program to the health post level to strengthen the OTP role out strategy, life saving intervention, and high number of SAM and MAM admission in the Woredas.
MCMDO is strengthening the screening program by through MHNT and CMAM team to have routine active case finding and referral linkage at all levels in an area where the Government staff not reached and the West Harerge Zone of oromia , North westren of Tigray and Zone 4 of Afar region has experienced severe repeated droughts affecting large enfold of the population every year. Repeated drought is threatening the Agro-pastoralist way of life.
This project will provide immediate lifesaving assistance in response to food insecurity for IDP and host communities. The project will also link with other government routine health services and partner projects to prevent future relapses. Therefore, the project will create synergies for stronger complementary, integration, sustainability and strengthen CMAM services in the existing facility in a way that will safeguard against malnutrition for vulnerable groups in the future, The goal of the project is to contribute reduce mortality and morbidity in related to malnutrition, improves access to life­saving nutrition interventions for the most vulnerable populations of under five children and PLW, establish/strength multi sectoral coordination for the management and response of malnutrition, increase the awareness of the community on malnutrition regardless of their nutritional status through IYCF-E, and Health and Nutrition counseling for both IDPs and Host Communities in the proposed five waredas.
