1. Introduction
As the title of the project indicates, the project was implemented jointly by
LWF and NCA. LWF was a lead agency as LWF is currently working in the
camp and responsible for the WASH component on the accountability
matrix. The project funded by NMFA to address the whole population in the
camp. The two specific objectives of the project are to provide hygiene NFI
kit using e-voucher system to improve the hygienic practice of the targeted
community and to improve the overall health of communities by
implementing emergency hygiene activities that encourage households to
adopt improved hygiene practices to 3,303 individuals (854 HHs).
Before the implementation of the project, the need assessment has been
carry out with joint TWG of LWF/NCA. The objective of the survey was to
identify the needs and gaps regarding food and non-food items (NFIs), with
a particular focus on hygiene. There was a big need of hygiene, Non-
Hygiene NFIs and food items according to the findings of FGD, KII, ARRA
and UNCHR. According to the findings from the FGDs and KIIs, soap, jerry
can, washing basins, food items, clothes and blankets were identified as
the most needed items. Other identified hygiene NFI needs include sanitary
pads, underwear, bucket, mosquito net, torch and more. Of food and other
non-food items, blankets, clothes, mats and milk powder, sugar, salt,
wheat, meat, spaghetti and rice were identified. A list of about 31 unique
hygiene commodities, including different types of soap, jerry can, washing
basin, sanitary pads, and underwear was chosen for the hygiene basket. In
addition, a list of about 43 unique commodities food and non-food items
was selected for the unrestricted basket. So that, in order to address
hygiene NFI need and other NFI needs two wallets were provided. The size
of hygiene wallet was determined in consideration of sphere minimum
standard.
Each E voucher top upped with 1050 ETB out of this amount 700 ETB is for
hygiene wallet and the remaining 350 for the unrestricted use. The sales
basket under each wallet were displayed On the vendors smartphones in
the Red Rose One app to the beneficiaries.
Two vendors were selected based on defined open procedure with certain
criteria. The agreement contract with the vendors signed between LWF and
Vendors. This agreement document consist of obligation and right of both
parties including the agreed Maximum price for each items, which are in
the sales basket. Accordingly, the prices have feed in to the system.
The training on the system of transaction (Redrose OneSOLUTION
Electronic Cash Transfer System training) including field demonstration
given for all project stakeholders (5 NCA staffs, 12 LWF staffs, 1 UNCHR
staff and 2 vendors) before the project start up.

4.5. Beneficiary satisfaction level
out of the result 91% of the beneficiaries were satisfied with the items,
which are selected in the sales basket of both in hygiene and unrestricted
wallet as well as available in the market.
Three forth of the beneficiaries were satisfied on the availability of urgently
needed items in the market.
The reasons given for dissatisfaction were the high price of some items and
insufficient amount of top up. Families having one, two and three family
members responded that the top up amount was enough to cover their
family needs throughout the project period. However, the information
analysed shows it was not enough starting from family size four.

facilitators. Moreover, the binding agreement that signed by the
vendors have list of obligations by all stakeholders, list of items,
which should be available in the shop, every time and maximum price
of them.
Feedback and complaints collecting through RR collect app provided
by the Red Rose platform was very good in order to report the
complaints very fast to all the platform credential users to get the
possible solution.
In this project, the households received the same value of e-voucher
regardless of their family size. For the future cash based intervention
the providing top up should be based on the number of household
members.
The location of the market should be within the centre of the
community and should be very convenient to reach by all kinds of
peoples with disability who are available in the camp.
