OSSHD Completes Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) for 400 IDP Households in Tigray in 2026.
OSSHD, with support from ECDC, has successfully implemented two rounds of Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA), reaching a total of 400 vulnerable internally displaced person (IDP) households across Tigray. The first round supported 200 households in Axum, Adwa, and Selekeleka, with 80 households in Axum, 70 in Adwa, and 50 in Selekeleka. Each household received ETB 12,050 through bank transfers in March 2026. The second round supported 200 households in Abi-Adi, Shire Endasilassie, and Selekeleka, including 100 households in Abi-Adi, 70 in Shire Endasilassie, and 30 in Selekeleka. Each household received ETB 12,050 through bank transfers in June 2026. Overall, the intervention prioritized highly vulnerable households, including female-headed households, persons with disabilities, elderly-headed households, pregnant and lactating women, and individuals living with chronic illnesses. The MPCA program strengthened transparency, dignity, accountability, and community-based targeting mechanisms, while enabling displaced families to meet their most urgent needs according to their own priorities. OSSHD extends its sincere appreciation to ECDC for its valuable support in improving the well-being and resilience of vulnerable IDP households in Tigray.Read more: OSSHD Completes Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) for 400 IDP Households in Tigray in 2026.
