Context of the mission
For more than 30 years, Médecins du Monde, a campaigning medical organization committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations at home and abroad. It has continued to highlight obstacles that exist in accessing health care and has secured sustainable improvements in health-for-all policies. Those working for this independent organization do not solely dispense care and treatment but condemn violations of human dignity and rights and fight to improve matters for populations living in precarious situations. MdM currently works in 44 countries across all continents where it focuses on 4 priority areas: caring for the health of migrants and displaced persons, promoting sexual and reproductive health, harm reduction associated with drug use, emergencies and crisis.
Médecins du Monde (MDM) is operating in Ethiopia since 1986 in different types of health projects from long-term interventions to emergency response.
Currently, the regional focus is on Afar Region which, together with Somali Region, is among the poorest states in Ethiopia. An AWD project recently ended and a program of healthcare provision for sex workers will run here until 2021. In the Somali region, MDM is launching a new project including health (SRH) activities as well as Nutrition and WASH in Nut activities through a local partner.
