CHADET-ETHIOPIA, with funding from KINVIA (formerly Canadian Feed the Children), is implementing a 13-month project titled “Building Resilience through Peace and Livelihood Opportunities for Vulnerable Populations in Artuma Fursi and Dewa Chefa Woredas,” launched in October 2025.
As part of the project, 300 participants (264 women and 36 men) received 20 chicken and 10 kg of poultry feed each, following practical training on poultry production, housing, and health management. The project has also conducted 20 community peacebuilding sessions, reached 625 community representatives, organized an inter-Woreda football tournament involving 130 participants, broadcasted 12 radio messages reaching an estimated 30,000 listeners, and distributed 1,000 brochures that contained useful message regarding peacebuilding.
Community members have reported improved relationships, safer movement across district boundaries, felt safe in accessing their farmland and markets, and renewed participation in social events, demonstrating encouraging progress in rebuilding trust and promoting peaceful coexistence.
