Project activities are aimed at families with the most urgent need, thereby promoting existing response efforts by local authorities and responding to government calls for relief. Affected households will receive an integrated assistance package including household tools, cleaning tools, cash for living and restoring livelihoods, and support to ensure safety in during project implementation.
