As of August 2018, IOM has been providing shelter assistance to the displaced communities through the construction of 39 communal shelters and the rehabilitation of 13 existing structures in district (or '
kebele') compounds used as temporary settlements.
The challenge is that stakeholders at
Kebele level work together: farmers and cooperatives; development agents and
Kebele administration and finally, financial institutions and
Kebele credit committees.
The necessary permission was obtained from Hadiya zone health department, and selected Woreda health offices and
kebele administrative offices.
The Regional Bureau of Health in Beneshangul-Gumuz provided valuable direction and guidance for the study along with District representatives and
Kebele administrators.
If we further reduce our geographical focus to the level of the
Kebele (an administrative district; N= 12,374), the correlation further increases to r=.234, p < .001.
Local officials, also known as
Kebele councils, form the primary unit of administration, (55) and determine eligibility for food assistance, recommend referrals to health care and schools, and provide access to state-distributed resources like seeds, fertilizers, and other essential agricultural inputs based on loyalty to the government.

Kebele, Enarj Enawga Woreda, East Gojam Zone, Amhara region of Ethiopia.
Study participants were then allocated nonproportionally to the number of pregnant mothers and mothers having a child less than one year (nonproportional to size) in each
kebele. Finally, sampling frame was prepared for each
kebele and simple random sampling technique was applied to select the study participants.
