Canadian Lutheran World Relief is supporting the second year of a three-year Support for Sustainable Development (SSD) food security project in the Mengela area of the Afar region in Ethiopia. The Mengela irrigation-based development project is designed to address the immediate food needs through food-for-work and to meet long-term food self sufficiency of the target communities. The core output of the project is the irrigation scheme that will be constructed on Awadi River to develop 150 hectare of land. In addition, agricultural extension, community capacity building and environmental conservation activities will be implemented. 600 households will benefit from the food security initiatives and 5,950 people will benefit from the food-for-work utilizing 200 tonnes of wheat.
