ALIMA IN ETHIOPIA

ALIMA has been operating in Ethiopia since 2022, providing healthcare, nutrition, and emergency response in regions affected by conflict, instability, and climate-related crises.

The organization initially focused on the Afder zone in the Somali Region, where limited healthcare infrastructure and recurring droughts have led to severe malnutrition and a shortage of medical personnel. ALIMA delivered integrated health and nutrition services to support vulnerable communities in Hargele, Elkare and Barey woredas. This ECHO funded project was closed at the end of the funding cycle in October 2024.

In 2024, ALIMA expanded its work to the Tigray region, which had been heavily impacted by instability and conflict. The organization is implementing a CDCS funded program addressing healthcare, nutrition, sexual and reproductive health, gender-based violence, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in targeted woredas. A base has been established in Mekele, and activities are being rolled out to improve access to essential services for affected populations.

To ensure continuity and scale up its impact, ALIMA has also proposed to ECHO an extension of its programs in both Afder and Tigray, aiming to strengthen healthcare systems, enhance nutrition support, and improve overall community resilience.

 The main activities to come will consist of :

In the short-term: prepare and launch in collaboration with the Ministry of Health a project contributing to the reduction of morbidity and mortality of communities affected by the drought.

 In the mid-to-long term: ensure the follow-up of the first project, develop partnerships with key stakeholders (MoH, civil society, research institutes…), conduct new assessments in areas with acute humanitarian needs and launch new activities.
