Allocated budget: 6,360,000.00

When the project implementation agreement was signed the number of beneficiaries was 150 from Host Communities and 150 from IDPs in Mekelle city. Back then the price of goods here in Mekelle was very expensive yet not much available however, after the peace agreement between the Tigray regional government and the federal government prices for food items and NFI was relatively better than before for this reason the budget that was allocated for 300 at the beginning of the project can now accommodate 700 households in the first round, 560 in the second round and 500 in the third and final round

1. Items for every Household are flour (15 KG), rice (3 KG), pulse (2.5 KG), ionized salt (1 KG), cooking oil (1L), 1 blanket (2 PCS 150cm*180cm), 1 bedding (160cm*180cm), 1 kg bathing soap (80g*13 PCS), 1.5kg laundry soap (250g * 6 PCS), and water purifier (5 Strips).
