Enhancing In-Site Camp Coordination & Camp Management (CCCM) and Area-Based Approach (ABA) in Abi-Adi, Axum, and Asgede, Tigray Region, Ethiopia
Implementation Period: 01 July 2025 – 31 March 2026 (9 months)
Donor: Ethiopian Humanitarian Fund (EHF)
Implementing Organization: OSSHD
Project Objective
To enhance the effectiveness of CCCM interventions by implementing an integrated, area-based approach that prioritizes sustainable solutions for displacement-affected communities. This includes internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and host community members residing both in camps and within host communities.
Project Overview:
The project aims to uphold the dignity, rights, and well-being of displacement-affected populations, both IDPs in camps and those residing in host communities—through strengthened, inclusive, and accountable Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) and Area-Based Approach (ABA) interventions. It focuses on improving coordinated service delivery, enhancing community participation, and promoting safe and dignified living conditions while supporting pathways to durable solutions such as voluntary return, local integration, or relocation.
To strengthen site governance, the project empowers IDP committees through capacity-building trainings, leadership support, and regular site-level coordination meetings. Essential tools and materials are provided to improve site maintenance, while communal kitchens and drainage rehabilitation support safer, cleaner living environments.
A key component of the intervention is the establishment of ABA coordination and communication centers in each target town. These centers serve as inclusive platforms offering information, referrals, and community engagement opportunities, thereby improving accountability and strengthening social cohesion between IDPs and host communities.
The project is structured around one outcome and three outputs focused on improved coordination, stronger community-based governance, and safer site conditions. Implementation targets the woredas of Axum, Abi-Adi, and Asgede—areas facing fragmented service delivery, weak governance structures, and deteriorating site environments.
Overall, the project targets 197,030 individuals, including 176,137 IDPs, 7,141 returnees, and 13,752 host community members, with a total budget of USD 249,996.67. OSSHD’s strong experience in CCCM and ABA programming ensures effective, sustainable, and community-driven results.
