ALIMA in Ethiopia

ALIMA, registered in Ethiopia in December 2022, has been working in the Somali region, which has been severely impacted by droughts, desert locusts, and consecutive flooding in 2023 and 2024. These crises have displaced over 746,000 people, damaged infrastructure, and worsened the region’s water and food shortage. Over 118,000 people are facing critical water shortages, and 59% of the population suffers from acute malnutrition. Aid disruptions, particularly the suspension of funding for water services, have exacerbated the situation.

ALIMA has been implementing a Health and Nutrition project in three woredas in Afder zone from May 2023 to October 2024, addressing urgent health needs in the region.

Currently, ALIMA is launching an integrated Health, WASH, and Protection project in Tigray's Enderta and Dega Temben woredas. Plans also include resuming operations in Hargele and Elkare woredas, affected by La Nina-related delays in the Gu rains, and expanding to the North Western zone of Tigray, covering Tathay Kararo and Asgede woredas. This expansion aims to establish ALIMA’s presence in these regions, with teams based in Hargele and Shire to ensure smooth project implementation and operations.
