The short-term impact of the intervention is that target households have become food secure for two months through voucher support. One voucher is enough to cover basic food needs of a household of five individuals for one month. The distribution will be done two times, providing the families with food for two months. The value of the voucher (15.000 rupees per month) is based on the Minimum Expenditure Basket (food) as coordinated locally with the Humanitarian Country Team. The vouchers are earmarked for food. The distribution will take place at a central distribution site e.g. community hall, DS Office etc. The beneficiaries will be contacted through the DS Officials and local animators as well as LEADS field staff.
