Including 70% women and girls and 79% displaced persons
Implemented in the regions of Timbuktu, Ségou, and Bandiagara, the EHRA project helped address the urgent humanitarian needs of displaced populations and host communities affected by a protracted crisis. Through interventions in food assistance, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and protection, the project enabled thousands of people to improve their living conditions and reduce their vulnerability to the impacts of the crisis.
Throughout the project, households received food assistance as well as hygiene and sanitation kits, while sanitation infrastructure was established and hygiene awareness-raising activities reached thousands of people. Particular attention was also given to the prevention of waterborne diseases and the promotion of menstrual hygiene.
With the support of its local partners, the Subhai Gumo Association (ASG) and the Free Association for the Promotion of Housing and Shelter (ALPHALOG), CECI also strengthened the protection of women and girls through the establishment of safe spaces, awareness-raising activities on gender-based violence, and the reinforcement of community mechanisms facilitating access to psychosocial services. These actions helped provide listening, support, and referral spaces tailored to the needs of affected communities.
