About
DCA is a non-profit humanitarian and livelihoods organisation implementing livestock health, extension and outreach, market systems development, and public-private partnership along the value chains of the livestock production. The COVID-19 pandemic, drought, and change of government caused protracted and complex food insecurity and malnutrition, loss of livelihoods assets (mainly livestock), damage to the public health, displacement, and conflict in 2021. Around 60-70% of the livestock owned by pastoralists died due to the recent drought; and more than 5 million people fled their homes. With the current political turmoil, the harsh winters, and cash liquidity blended with the COVID-19 pandemic, the consequences are worse and carried on to the next generation, mainly to the marginalized communities such as women, girls, elderly, children, disabled, IDPs,
