In light of the ongoing integrated interventions led by Ethiopian Government to combat the rapid proliferation of COVID-19, Action for the Needy in Ethiopia (ANE) has continued its commitment on social responsibilities, by allocating large portion of budget of more than ETB 1,000,000 from its own internal resource and also by using the funding resources mobilized through the partnership it established from UN Agencies, to tackle the social and economic impacts leaving on the daily condition of refugees, internal displaced persons (IDPs),returnees and vulnerable host communities in Ethiopia. ANE’s COVID-19 Prevention Programs cover identified settlement areas of refugee, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees from internal displacement in Oromia, Somali, Gambella, Benishangul Gumuz Regional States and Addis Ababa City Administration.
