Locusts and COVID-19: Support for Livestock Owners

In southern Ethiopia, near the border with Kenya, people are faced with an unending series of threats: droughts, locusts, resource conflicts, and now COVID-19 as well. These have also had a major impact on animals, leaving many people in this livestock-dependent region reliant on humanitarian aid. This project focusses on hygiene measures and COVID-19 prevention, for example by installing handwashing facilities, distributing soap, and informing people about how the virus is transmitted. The poorest families also receive cash and seeds.
