Ethiopia
Country Program
Ethiopia is one of the world’s fastest-growing countries with an estimated population of 110 million people. Yet despite increased economic growth in the past decade, Ethiopia still ranks near the bottom of the Human Development Index.
The LWF Ethiopia Program largely focuses on humanitarian response due to the recent crises in the Northern part of the country. The conflict between the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and the Federal Government and its allies, as well as the spill over in Amhara Region have resulted in massive loss of lives, internal displacements, violence against women and girls and damage to civilian infrastructure. LWF Ethiopia responds to the humanitarian needs in Tigray and the neighboring Amhara region targeting the most vulnerable such as internally displaced persons, people living with disability, the elderly, women and children.
LWF Ethiopia works with disadvantaged communities in building resilience and sustainable livelihood, and provides humanitarian services such as food assistance, water supply, hygiene and sanitation, Shelter/NFIs, cash distribution, education in emergencies, general protection, child protection and gender-based violence prevention and response, environmental protection, psycho-social support, and camp coordination and camp management.
