Resume

OFUSS/DAN’s proposed intervention - Response to Droughts in Hiran Region Somalia - aims to contribute to food security by improving households’ immediate access to food through provision of unconditional cash assistance. The project will provide multipurpose unconditional cash transfers to 250 crisis and displacement affected households in 6 villages located on the north west of Beletweyne district. The targeted villages are: Feer-feer, Maxamud Gacal, Jawiil, Bacaad, ilkacado and Gasle. 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. DAN will transfer cash to beneficiaries through Mobile Money systems. Each of the beneficiary households will receive 4 months of cash transfers of USD 60 per month with targeting taking place in December 2021 or January
