Situation Overview and Humanitarian Needs Ethiopia is currently faced with a complex crisis of drought and conflict displaced populations. As of December 2017, approximately 1.69 million people were estimated to be internally displaced. An estimated one million people have been displaced because of conflict along the Somali-Oromia regional borders while more than 528,000 are displaced because of climate induced1 factors. The populations have been displaced in areas that are already experiencing ongoing drought. Below average rainfall, triggered by La Niña, is projected in parts of the south, south-east and north-east during the Feb – May 2018 rainy season which will further exacerbate existing vulnerabilities of the displaced, especially populations in pastoral and agro-pastoral areas. According to draft 2018 Humanitarian Requirement Document (HRD)2, in 2018, an estimated 320,000 children will need treatment for severe acute malnutrition, while outbreaks of malaria, measles and Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) will continue to threaten children’s well-being. 7.4 million people will require access to safe water and 600,000 people will need protection services. Some 2.2 million school aged children will need school meals, water and sanitation services and educational materials to go and stay in school. Evolving political and emergency situations in neighbouring countries has led to an increase in people seeking refuge in Ethiopia. As of 31 December 2017, 892,555 refugees were living in the country with the majority being South Sudanese, Somalis, Eritreans and Sudanese. Humanitarian Leadership and Coordination The humanitarian response in Ethiopia is led by the National Disaster Risk Management Commission through the federal and regional Disaster Risk Management Technical Working Groups (DRMTWGs). UNOCHA coordinates the humanitarian response with UN agencies and NGOs to support the Government-led humanitarian response. The Government prioritizes its emergency response based on target hotspot woredas (districts).3 UNICEF continues to provide the Government of Ethiopia with crucial support to cluster coordination at varying administrative levels in water, sanitation and hygiene, nutrition, and education with Save the Children International. UNICEF also provides coordination support to the child protection and gender-based violence sub-clusters and plays a key supporting role with the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Health Cluster Coordination. UNICEF has eight field offices in Afar, Amhara, Benishangul Gumuz, Gambella, Oromia, Southern Nations, Nationalities and People’s (SNNP) Region, Somali and Tigray regions serving the population through regional and zonal interventions. Humanitarian Strategy: Prepositioning and Partnerships The HRD4 for 2018 is currently being finalized and represents a first step in the development of a multiyear planning framework. More specifically, the HRD will seek to increase the quality and predictable delivery of a required multi-sectoral humanitarian response, mitigate future needs in areas that experience recurrent climate induced shock, and support the strengthening of national service provision to address chronic and acute needs and the recovery of affected communities. The current HRD seeks to provide assistance across three pillars: Pillar 1: Prevention and Mitigation; Pillar 2: Response and Response Preparedness and Pillar 3: National System Strengthening and Recovery. In line with its Core Commitments for Children in Humanitarian Action, UNICEF will support the Government under Pillar 2 to respond to humanitarian situations and through its regular programming activities contribute to Pillars 1 and 3. UNICEF is working with all partners to ensure children have access to health, nutrition, education, protection, safe water, sanitation and hygiene services during emergencies. To respond to any rapid onset of a crisis in a timely manner, UNICEF Ethiopia has pre-positioned supplies, to meet the immediate life-saving needs of 120,000 individuals. Prepositioned stocks are kept in Addis Ababa and in two regional hubs in Gambella and Somali Regions. Summary Analysis of the Programme Response Nutrition UNICEF in 2018 will support the Government of Ethiopia to effectively treat and manage severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in children under 5, provide technical and logistical support for Community Management of Acute Malnutrition, improve access to infant and young child feeding and counselling and support the Nutrition Cluster, led by the Emergency Nutrition Coordinating Unit. 1 Through collaboration with the NDRMC, displacement caused by environmental factors such as drought, seasonal floods, flash floods and landslides have been categorized as “Climate Induced” IDPs. 2 Draft 2018 HRD 7.02.2018 3 A woredas is an administrative unit under zone. The administrative hierarchy in Ethiopia is Region, Zone, Woreda and Kebele. 4 Draft 7.02.2018 The recently completed hotspot priority listing of woredas describes a critical situation in already drought affected regions in Ethiopia. In the Somali Region, for example, 81 of its 97 woredas are classified as priority one and 10 as priority two. Following the official release of the hotspot classification, the SAM caseload estimation exercise led by UNICEF and the Nutrition Strategic Advisory Group (SAG) took place in January. An estimated 333,500 children with SAM are expected to be treated in 2018, which includes 13,500 South Sudanese refugee children. It is very likely though that this figure will be revised mid-year. To support the Government of Ethiopia’s capacity to identify, treat and provide therapeutic care to children with SAM, UNICEF supported the facilitation of a national level Training of Trainers exercise for 36 health workers selected from all regions and two administrative councils (Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa) in January 2018. In areas where access can be unpredictable due to sporadic conflict, UNICEF and WHO, together with NGOs, are supporting mobile health teams to provide outreach services that offer flexibility and agility to deliver services if, and when access is available or where communities are hard to reach or have poor access to fixed site services. Within the Nutrition Cluster, significant funding gaps are anticipated in the first half of 2018. Further, a delay in the approval of therapeutic feeding programme (TFP) data is a major challenge for programme decision-making. The November 2017 TFP data has just been approved with no approved TFP data for December 2017 or January 2018. Health Key findings from the IOM Displacement Tracking

  • ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update August 2017 Extreme Levels
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update August 2017 Extreme levels of acute food insecurity to persist in southeastern pastoral areas KEY MESSAGES Projected food security outcomes, August to September 2017 Delivery of humanitarian assistance remains delayed in parts of Somali Region currently classified in Emergency (IPC Phase 4). An immediate and sustained resumption of assistance is needed to prevent households from facing more extreme outcomes. As food consumption gaps widen, levels of acute malnutrition and mortality may rise further. Areas of greatest concern include Dollo, Korahe, Degahabour, and Jarar zones. FEWS NET expects large areas of Somali Region to remain in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) or Crisis (IPC Phase 3) between August 2017 and January 2018. In addition, parts of Amhara, Tigray, and northeastern SNNPR will remain in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) until Meher harvests begin in October, which should improve acute food insecurity to Minimal (IPC Phase 1) or Stressed (IPC Phase 2) levels between October 2017 and January 2018. Projected food security outcomes, October 2017 to January 2018 On August 8, 2017, the National Disaster Response and Management Commission (NDRMC) released the mid-year review of the Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) for 2017. The NDRMC now estimates that approximately 8.5 million people will require assistance between July and December 2017. Kiremt rainfall has been average or above average in most Meher-dependent areas since early June. Average to above- average rainfall forecast through September will likely be favorable for crop production. However, FAO reports that approximately 22 percent of area planted in maize is infested by Fall Armyworm (FAW), which could impact production.

  • Measles Outbreak Investigation and Response in Jarar Zone of Ethiopian Somali Regional State, Eastern Ethiopia
    International Journal of Microbiological Research 8 (3): 86-91, 2017 ISSN 2079-2093 © IDOSI Publications, 2017 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.ijmr.2017.86.91 Measles Outbreak Investigation and Response in Jarar Zone of Ethiopian Somali Regional State, Eastern Ethiopia 12Yusuf Mohammed and Ayalew Niguse 1Ethiopian Somali Regional Health Bureau, Jigjiga, P.O. Box: 238, Jigjiga, Ethiopia 2Department of Microbiology and Public Health, Jigjiga University, P.O. Box: 1020, Jigjiga, Ethiopia Abstract: Suspected measles outbreak was notified from Degahbour hospital to the Emergency Management Team at the Regional Health Bureau. A team of experts was dispatched to the site with the objectives of confirming the existence of the outbreak, initiate measures and formulate recommendations based on the results of present outbreak investigation. We conducted descriptive cross sectional study from February to March 2016. We reviewed medical records of suspected cases; we interviewed the Health care workers, visited affected household and interviewed parents and guardians of cases. We used line list for describing measles cases interms of time, place and person. We collected five blood samples from patients for Lab confirmation. We entered and analyzed using Epi-Info7 version 7.1.0.6. During the investigation period, 406 measles cases with 5 deaths were reported with overall Attack Rate (AR) and Case Fatality Rate (CFR) was (28.2/10, 000 population, 1.2%) respectively. High AR (28.6/10000population) was reported from male. The CFR difference was not statistically significant (P value=0.66) by sex. High AR (127/10000population) was reported from age group < 1 years. When we compared AR by those < 5 years and >5 years, there was statistically significant difference (P-value= 0.00).

  • FEWS NETS Ethiopia Food Security Outlook
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook October 2019 to May 2020 Average Meher harvest likely, though poor Belg/Gu and high prices drive Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes KEY MESSAGES • Deyr/Hagaya rains in southern and southeastern Current food security outcomes, October 2019 Ethiopia were significantly above average in October, resulting in one of the wettest Octobers on the historical record. Localized flooding occurred in Oromio, SNNPR, and Somali Regions, displacing 205,000 people and causing localized crop and livestock losses. A flooding risk continues for these areas as rainfall for the rest of the season is forecast to be above average. Localized, negative impacts are expected; however, the above- average rainfall will also lead to favorable pasture and crop development. • National Meher production is expected to be average due to generally favorable June to September Kiremt rainfall. Meher production is expected to improve household and market food availability nationally. However, poor Kiremt rains in parts of northeastern Amhara, eastern Tigray, Source: FEWS NET and northern Afar resulted in poor production FEWS NET classification is IPC-compatible. IPC-compatible analysis follows key IPC prospects for the ongoing Meher harvest in these protocols but does not necessarily reflect the consensus of national food security partners. areas. • Prices for commodities such as maize, sorghum, and wheat are expected to slightly decline seasonally from October to December, although prices are expected to remain above average. From January to May, increases in grain prices are expected, reducing the purchasing power of market-dependent poor households. In pastoral areas, livestock prices are expected to increase; however, they are unlikely to keep pace with staple food price increases.

The region comprises of nine administrative zones which in terms of livelihoods are categorised into 17 livelihood zones. The climate is mostly arid/semi-arid in lowland areas and cooler/wetter in the higher areas. Annual rainfall ranges from 150 - ~600mm per year. The region can be divided into two broader rainfall regimes based on the seasons of the year: Siti and Fafan zones to the north, and the remaining seven zones to the south. The rainfall pattern for both is bimodal but the timings differ slightly. The southern seven zones (Nogob, Jarar, Korahe, Doollo, Shabelle, Afder, Liban and Harshin District of Fafan Zone) receive ‘Gu’ rains (main season) from mid April to end of June, and secondary rains known as ‘Deyr’ from early October to late December. In the north, Siti and Fafan zones excluding Harshin of Fafan zone receive ‘Dirra’ - Objectives of the assessment also known as ‘Gu’ rains from late March To evaluate the outcome of the Deyr/Karan to late May.

Program Overview Mercy Corps Ethiopia (MC) and Action Against Hunger Ethiopia (AAH) were working together in a joint effort since October 2016, led by MC, to provide integrated emergency response for drought- affected pastoral communities of sixteen woredas in the Ethiopian Somali Regional State (SRS). The project focused on implementation of Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) with particular emphasis on treating acute malnutrition, behavior change on hygiene-promotion and in some districts, sanitation infrastructure. MC was the lead implementer in this project, with AAH as the sub-grantee. The program covered sixteen districts, eleven of which were covered by MC in Jarar, Shabelle, Siti and Fafan Zones, and the other five of which were covered by AAH in Shabelle, Afder, Korahe and Nogob Zones. Districts were selected based on the severity of drought in collaboration with the Regional Health Bureau. The 16 intervention woredas in the SRS include 10 woredas approved for implementation in the initially approved proposal that was started in October 2016, including Jarar Zone, Birkot, Aware, Ararso, Shebelle Zone, East Imi, Denan, Adlade and Gode woredas; Korahe Zone; Marsin woreda, Nogob Zone; Elweyn woreda; Afder Zone, West Imi woredas.
