REVIEW OF OPERATIONAL CAPACITY

The number of partners involved in humanitarian In Somali region, the limited amount of resources response in Ethiopia has dropped to 56 compared to received since the beginning of the year has affected 67 as of December 2018. These include international response in some sectors. For instance, partners humanitarian partners (UN and INGOs) and national working in nutrition sector scaled down their operation partners including Government bodies and national due to limited funding received. In West Guji and Wollega NGOs. This, in addition to changes in context and limited zones in Oromia region, Gedeo zone in SNNP and amount of funding received by partners, will affect Kemashi zone in Benishangul Gumuz, response to the overall operational capacity in the second half of 2019. needs of returnees remain inadequate due to funding The horn of Africa drought will likely affect a number of constraints. The Ethiopian Humanitarian Fund (EHF) areas in Ethiopia, especially pastoral areas, generating allocated some USD 35 million in July to supplement new needs that will require additional resources. In partners in responding to the needs of returnees and May 2019, Government launched a return plan that IDPs and other drought like situations in the country. saw the return of 2.1 million IDPs from major areas of This will help to fill some gaps in the response, though displacement in Gedeo-West Guji, Wollega and Kemashi huge needs remain until the end of the year. in SNNP, Oromia and Benishangul Gumuz regions.

Household economy analysis (HEA) indicates that severely depleted water resources in southern parts of 3.5 million individuals will be facing a survival deficit, the country, which will lead to outmigration of livestock, demonstrating that there is need to provide food or cash contributing to deteriorating livestock body condition and a assistance to meet food needs of these individuals. The decrease in milk production. main drivers of food insecurity include the increase in Above-normal rains that were received in the western and staple food prices in some markets and a decrease in central parts of the country in June resulted in localized purchasing power. Prices of staple foods showed an flooding in some areas. The food sector contributed to the increase across the country which could be attributable development of the flood contingency plan, which estimated to below-average crop production from the 2018 meher that US$39 million will be required to respond to the needs season. The limited supply of livestock to markets has led of 1.3 million individuals who are projected to be affected or to a modest increase of livestock prices.
