Project overview
The WHO project supported the scale-up of WHO Ethiopia’s health response and efforts in Northern Ethiopia and contribute to a maximum achievable reduction in morbidity and mortality of the population affected by the ongoing conflict in Tigray, Afar, and Amhara. WHO provided a total 88.5 metric tons of Emergency Health Kits for a total of 555,875 beneficiaries across the three regions of Afar, Amhara, and Tigray.
