Funds food distribution for refugee and displaced populations hosted in camps near the Horn of Africa migration route.
Why this matters in Djibouti
Refugees from Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Yemen make up the camp populations, many of them settled for years. Ali Addeh and Holl Holl lie in the arid south near the Ethiopian and Somali borders, while Markazi, near Obock on the northern coast, opened for Yemenis fleeing the war across the Bab-el-Mandeb strait. The country is also a transit point on the eastern migration route, where Ethiopian and Somali migrants cross toward Yemen and the Gulf.
The land offers almost nothing to farm. With very little arable land, the country imports nearly all its food, so prices follow global markets and shipping costs. Refugees have few ways to earn an income, and extreme summer heat makes outdoor work dangerous. Most camp households rely on monthly food rations and cash transfers, and any funding shortfall translates directly into smaller rations. Steady support keeps distributions full and on schedule.

- Monthly rations of cereals, pulses, oil and salt for refugee households
