Emergency Feeding Project

EMERGENCY

Following the October 2020 presidential election, violence erupted between opposition and pro-government supporters in Côte d’Ivoire forcing hundreds of Ivoirians to flee into Ghana and other neighboring countries. 

The declaration of Category-1 Emergency by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees triggered a series of coordination meetings by UNHCR and her local partners, including ADRA. To alleviate the suffering of the Ivorian Asylum Seekers, ADRA Ghana volunteered to take up the task of providing wet feeding for the new arrivals. 

As of December 1, 2020, a total of 703 Asylum Seekers had arrived in Ghana and were hosted in Ampain, Egyeikrom, and Fetentaa camps with Ampain hosting the highest number. With funding from UNHCR and Ghana Refugee Board (GRB) providing data to the project, ADRA fed the Asylum Seekers with 2 meals a day. Additionally, breakfast was provided for children, lactating mothers, pregnant women, and elderly people
