Resume:

The Acceleration Livelihood for Emergency Action (ALEA) is a 1-year (Jan – Dec 2020) emergency community resilience and humanitarian project. ALEA is designed to address an emergency in the YOPP/Norsaac and DGI-Midtjylland operational area. The project seeks to build resilient structures in flood prone communities along the White Volta in the Kumbungu District of Northern Region of Ghana. The project combines needs and rights based approaches by providing basic needs in the short term and at the same time facilitate community advocacy to hold policy makers responsible to provide long term solutions to the perennial floods in the area. The people go about their daily chores with COVID-19 restrictions and thus the project will not be directly affected by it. Safety protocols by the Ghana Health Service and the WHO’s will be respected.
