ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update November 2010 Poor Water ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update November 2010 Poor water availability in the southeast following below-average Oct-Dec rains Key Messages Figure 1. Estimated food security outcomes, October to December 2010 To date, the performance of hageya/deyr rains has been below average as predicted. This has resulted in shortages of pasture and water in the southeastern pastoral and agropastoral parts of the country. Land preparation and planting of transitional crops, mainly sweet potato has been carried out as usual in SNNPR. Performance of these crops will highly depend on the performance of the sapie rains in December that are predicted to be normal to below normal this year. Overall meher season crop harvests (October to January) are expected to be normal to above normal this year, except in areas that were affected by water logging, floods, landslides, dry spells and yellow wheat rust, resulting in an Source: FEWS NET and WFP overall improvement in food security in dominantly meher Figure 2. Estimated food security outcomes, January crop producing parts of the country. to March 2011 Updated food security outlook through March 2011 The period November to March is typically a time of stable food security in Ethiopia given the meher harvest (October to January) which contributes 90 to 95 percent of total annual crop production. With the start of the harvest, staple food prices typically decline, further contributing to the improvement of food security. This year, the overall performance of meher season crops has been average to above average, although localized shocks led to reductions in production in some areas. In most pastoral parts of the country, the gu/gana/sugum (April to June) rains were also average to above average, improving overall pastoral conditions. Prices of staples in these areas are Source: FEWS NET and WFP For more information on FEWS NET’s Food Insecurity Severity low and livestock prices are high. However, despite these Scale, please see: www.fews.net/FoodInsecurityScale general improvements in food security, poor households across much of the country continue to be moderately to highly food insecure due to chronic issues and a range of different shocks, including the poor start of the deyr/hageya rains. Food security in most parts of Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region continues to be good following average to above‐average meher season production. The performance of wheat and barley crops, however, is reported to be below average due to yellow wheat rust in mid‐ and highland areas of Guraghe, Siltie, Kembata Tembaro, Hadiya, and Wolayta zones and in the wheat and barley producing woredas of Gamo Gofa. The wheat rust is expected to result in substantial This report provides an update to the October 2010 FEWS NET Food Security Outlook report which estimated food security conditions through March 2011. The next Outlook report will be released in January and will cover the January to July 2011 period. FEWS NET Washington FEWS NET Ethiopia FEWS NET is a USAID-funded activity.

Wheat is an important source of cash NOAA/CPC RFE Climatology Method, and food in many livelihoods zones in these areas. For example, wheat’s October 1 to November 21, 2010 contribution to total annual cash income ranges from 20 to 60 percent across the different wealth groups in Hadiya Kembata Cereal and Enset Livelihood Zone. In the coffee producing woredas of Sidama and Gedeo zones, coffee production is expected to decline by 30 to 55 percent due to excessive rainfall during the kiremt (June to September) period compared to last year. In addition, coffee production is cyclical, with every other year (including this year) tending to be poor, regardless of climatic conditions. Although the production of coffee is low, the farm gate price of coffee is reported to be 40 to 50 percent higher than that of last year. This is expected to partly offset the decline in coffee producer income related to poor production. However, the impact of the reduced production on labor demand and wages will persist and is expected to have a negative impact on the food security of the poor and the very poor people in these zones that depend on income from coffee labor. These people are expected to continue to be highly food insecure through the outlook period. Land preparation and planting of sweet potato has taken place normally in central SNNPR. Sweet potato is an important transitional crop which is Source: NOAA consumed during the lean season between March and May before the belg season harvest begins in June/July in these areas. Performance of sweet potato will depend on the sapie rains in December that are predicted to be normal to below normal this year. If the rains perform below normal and result in poor production of sweet potato, there will be a high level of food insecurity in this densely populated part of the country due to shortages of food at the household level. The overall meher season performance in Gambella region was good this year except for parts of the region that were affected by floods. Prospects for fishing are good this year due to good performance of the kiremt (June to September) rains and recession agriculture is expected to begin soon with the decline in river levels. There haven’t been any fresh conflicts in the region and most of the region continues to be generally food secure except for the border woredas with Sudan where about 24,000 people remain displaced due to conflict with Sudanese communities across the border. There could be increased displacement in these border woredas with the referendum in Sudan in January making these woredas highly food insecure. Overall food security has also improved in the eastern meher producing areas with the start of the meher harvest (barley, wheat, beans, lentils, and teff) in October as well as ongoing PSNP and emergency food aid distributions in some woredas of eastern Oromia. Meher season production is generally good this year following the normal to above normal kiremt season rains. The above‐normal rains led to flooding in North and South Wollo and Oromia zones of Amhara region which affected thousands of people and caused significant damage to crops in the middle of the growing season. Most people displaced by the floods have returned to their areas of origin and some have replanted their fields, however it was late in the season and the kiremt (June to September) rains may have ceased before the crops were able to mature. Detailed information on the performance of replanted crops and food security situation of the people affected by the floods is expected from the meher season assessment that is scheduled to start on the 21 November and will take three weeks. There was also an outbreak of yellow rust in the wheat growing areas, with the most affected areas being North Shewa and South Gondar zones. In East and West Hararghe zones of Oromia, crops which were replanted following dry spells and water logging, were then affected by the early cessation of the kiremt rains. Finally, critical water shortages are also reported in the lowland woredas of Midega Tola, Kumbi, parts of Gursum, and Babile woredas of East Hararghe zone. The meher harvest will improve access and food availability at household level and hence food insecurity among most poor households will remain moderate through March 2011 in these areas. However, many households in the most flood affected woredas of North Wollo, South Wollo, and Oromia zones of Amhara and some woredas of East and West Hararghe zones of Oromia regions are likely to be highly food insecure as of January due to the anticipated loss of harvest as a result of excessive rains, water logging and moisture stress. These areas include parts of Kobo, Habru and Guba Lafto of North Wollo; Dewa Chefe, Artuma Fursi and Jile Timuga of Oromia zone; and Ambassel, Kalu, Tehuledre, Dessie Zuria and Leghida woredas of South Wollo zone in Amahra and highlands of Arsi, West Arsi and Bale zones of Oromia Region. Moisture stress in woredas like Ebinat of South Gondar and Bati of Oromia zone of Amhara region also affected meher season crop Famine Early Warning Systems Network 2 ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update November 2010 production. High food insecurity will also persist until the next belg harvest begins in June/July 2011 among poor households in the predominantly belg producing areas of North and South Wollo zones of Amhara that have high dependence on belg season crops. The food security situation in Afar region and the northern two zones of Somali Region is generally stable, although chronic water problems in some of the northern woredas and the impacts of severe floods along the banks of Awash put some of the hardest hit areas at risk of food insecurity in the coming months. The overall stability in food security is because of improvements in the physical condition and productivity of livestock that resulted from good pasture and water availability following good Karma (main season) rains between July and September. Milk production, particularly from camels and shoats, has improved significantly. Prospects for rain‐fed crop harvests in many agro‐pastoral areas, including Argoba, Abaala, Semurobi, Dallol and Kuneba woredas, is promising following the normal to above‐normal karma rains.

  • Food Security EMERGENCY
    Ethiopia: Food Security EMERGENCY The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) issues periodic Emergency alerts when a significant food security crisis is occurring, where portions of the population are now, or will soon become, extremely food insecure and face imminent famine. Highest priority should be given to responding to the crisis highlighted by this Emergency alert. Issued: 22 November 2005 Poor deyr rains are a serious concern in southern Somali region From October to December there is normally a short rainy season (deyr) in the livestock-dependent southern and southeastern lowlands of the country. These rains are critically important to the livelihoods of pastoralists, as they recharge water sources and replenish pasture, and thus sustain livestock through the dry-season from December to April. When the deyr season fails, the population in these areas usually experiences extremely stressful water and pasture shortages until the gu (March – May) rainy seasons. In recent years, a combination of successive droughts, high cereal prices, conflict, and the ban on livestock imports to markets in the Gulf States has rendered the livestock- dependent population highly food insecure and increasingly vulnerable to poor seasonal rainfall performance. This year, the performances of deyr rains in Somali Region has been very poor, raising concerns for many parts of the deyr dependent southern Somali Region. According to the region’s November 21 Food Security Flash report, there are districts where no rainfall has been reported. Districts that to date have received insufficient deyr rains include: Kelafo, Mustahil, Ferfer, Denan and East Imi (Gode zone); Barey, and parts of Gorobaqaqsa, Hargelle, Elkare, Chareti, Dolobay and West Imi (Afder zone); Moyale and Dolo-ado (Liban zone), Hamaro, Segeg, Duhun, Garbo, Lagahido, Salahad and Mayomuluko (Fik zone); Sheygosh (Korahe zone); and Galadi and parts of Warder and Danot in Warder Zone.

  • ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update November 2011
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update November 2011 Good rains likely to stabilize food security in the south The October to December Deyr rains are performing well Figure 1. Most-likely food security outcomes (October in most parts of the southern and southeastern pastoral to December 2011) and agropastoral areas, easing the shortage of pastoral resources. This, coupled with ongoing humanitarian assistance, will continue to stabilize food security among poor and very poor households in these areas. Nonetheless, about 4 million people will continue to require humanitarian assistance through the end of 2011 across the country. Prices of staple foods have generally started declining following the fresh Meher harvest, although they remain higher than the five‐year average. This will continue to constrain access to food over the coming months among the rural and urban poor who heavily depend on purchase to fulfill their minimum food requirements. For more information on FEWS NET’s Food Insecurity Severity Scale, During the January to March 2012 period, Crisis level food please see: www.fews.net/FoodInsecurityScale insecurity will extend to the dominantly Belg producing Source: FEWS NET Ethiopia and WFP zones in the northeastern highlands as well as into some marginal Meher cropping areas due to the below normal Figure 2. Most‐likely food security outcomes (January to 2011 harvests. Similarly, as the long dry season March 2012) (December to March) progresses, deterioration in food security is likely in some southern pastoral and agropastoral woredas which were severely affected by the recent drought. Updated food security outlook through March 2012 Food security in most parts of the country has stabilized as a result of improved market supply and declining prices following the Meher harvest, ongoing humanitarian assistance, and the current good Deyr/Hageya rains in the southern and southeast pastoral and agropastoral.

  • Prioritization of Shelter/NFI Needs
    Prioritization of Shelter/NFI needs Date: 31st May 2018 Shelter and NFI Needs As of 18 May 2018, the overall number of displaced people is 345,000 households. This figure is based on DTM round 10, partner’s assessments, government requests, as well as the total of HH supported since July 2017. The S/NFI updated its prioritisation in early May and SNFI Cluster partners agreed on several criteria to guide prioritisation which include: - 1) type of emergency, 2) duration of displacement, and 3) sub-standard shelter conditions including IDPS hosted in collective centres and open-air sites and 4) % of vulnerable HH at IDP sites. Thresholds for the criteria were also agreed and in the subsequent analysis the cluster identified 193 IDP hosting woredas mostly in Oromia and Somali regions, as well as Tigray, Gambella and Addis Ababa municipality. A total of 261,830 HH are in need of urgent shelter and NFI assistance. At present the Cluster has a total of 57,000 kits in stocks and pipeline. The Cluster requires urgent funding to address the needs of 204,830 HHs that are living in desperate displacement conditions across the country. This caseload is predicted to increase as the flooding continues in the coming months. Shelter and NFI Priority Activities In terms of priority activities, the SNFI Cluster is in need of ES/NFI support for 140,259 HH displaced mainly due to flood and conflict under Pillar 2, primarily in Oromia and Somali Regions. In addition, the Shelter and NFI Cluster requires immediate funding for recovery activities to support 14,000 HH (8,000 rebuild and 6,000 repair) with transitional shelter support and shelter repair activities under Pillar 3.
