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. Additionally, six woredas were approved in the cost extension period as of October 2017 and include Jarar Zone, Bilibur, Deghamedo and Gunagado woredas; Fafan Zone; Tuliguled and Shabeley woredas; and Siti Zone; Dembel woreda. Operational implementation commenced in December 2016 in ten woredas approved in the first proposal and in the additional six woredas in October 2017. In spite of delays upon start-up of the initial program, as a result of challenges with obtaining government approval, both Mercy Corps and Action against Hunger worked to catch up with the initial implementation plan. Though both partners accomplished many activities to strengthen the existing government system and support the vulnerable communities to save their life and reduce the impact of the drought, the crises continues to threaten the life of the children and mothers. The crisis is exacerbated due to conflict, flooding, disease outbreaks, displacement of people because of tribal conflict, and recently, the political change in the region disrupted the existing systems. Factors including poor livestock productivity and displacement of people from neighboring Oromia region districts create an additional burden, which hampers the efforts of the CMAM nutrition intervention to reduce morbidity and mortality related to malnutrition. In most of the districts, malnutrition has increased gradually, with high SAM and MAM incidence rates, which leads to a shortage of supplies to address the increasing caseload. As a result of all contributing factors, pastoralist communities have lost their livelihoods, in particular, the majority of their livestock and productivity of their livestock significantly decreased and affected the daily diet of children and other family members. As a result of recurrent critical food shortages, the program’s effectiveness was challenged, as sharing of TSFP supplies was observed by families who did not receive general food distribution. Since the beginning of the program, MC and AAH have reached more than the planned target of beneficiaries anticipated for the program, which were estimated based on the trends during the proposal development period. To meet the growing needs of malnourished beneficiaries in the sixteen districts, MC flagged the issue of food shortages to WFP as early as possible and as a result, secured additional supplies from WFP. MC, in collaboration with WFP, implemented blanket supplementary feeding in selected high priority woredas to minimize the effect of malnutrition on under five children and PLW. In spite of all these efforts, beneficiary numbers drastically increased every month and 2 Integrated Emergency response for Drought Affected Populations in Ethiopian Somali Region Semi Annual Program Report (November, 2016 to March 2018) supply shortages were a bottleneck to address all the needy community. Like many other regions and communities in Ethiopia, SRS faced ongoing challenges of deteriorated natural resources, the inability to grow sufficient and diversified food. As a result, acute malnutrition threatens the livelihoods and stability of local communities. Program Goal Reduce mortality, morbidity and suffering associated with moderate and severe acute malnutrition of children and pregnant and lactating women living in the target Woredas of ESRS through an integrated response of strengthening Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM), provision of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services for poor households that are affected by El Nino phenomena. Objectives Objective 1: Reduce mortality and morbidity and associated with moderate and severe malnutrition of under 5 children and pregnant and lactating women living in the targeted areas. Objective 2: Reduce of mortality and morbidity associated with poor sanitation and water quality, amongst moderate and severe malnutrition of under 5 children and pregnant and lactating women living in the targeted areas Planned Activities The activities listed below were planned with the following target figures: Community mobilization improved infant and young child feeding: o Distribute IEC/BCC materials for all health facilities, schools and beneficiaries to use them as teaching aids to change the behavior of the community. o Provide education to mothers to practice exclusive breast-feeding and maternal, infant and young child feeding practices to 15,666 mothers. Management of MAM cases: o Screen and admit 64,121 beneficiaries into Targeted Supplementary Feeding (TSFP), including OTP discharged Beneficiaries. Management of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) cases: o Establish or rehabilitate 158 OTP and 20 SC sites. o Establish 96 sites for mobile health and nutrition teams. o Treat 5,134 children in inpatient and outpatient therapeutic programs. Hygiene promotion services: o Provide hygiene promotion to 99,299 people. o Provide soap for hygiene promotion to 64,121 nutrition beneficiaries. o Conduct 50 hygiene promotion campaigns. o Provide Non-Food Items (NFIs), including water treatment chemicals, Jerricans and buckets for point of use water treatment chemicals (POUWTC) to 64,121 people. Sanitation infrastructure: o Construct 21 VIPLs for health facilities. o Establish 45 hand-washing points for health facilities. Capacity building for improved CMAM and WASH services: 3 Integrated Emergency response for Drought Affected Populations in Ethiopian Somali Region Semi Annual Program Report (November, 2016 to March 2018) o Provide training to 419 health care providers on SAM management and WASH services. o Train 1,970 community volunteers on community mobilization. o Train 419 health workers care providers on MIYCN. SECTOR 1: Nutrition As planned, MC provided full Component of CMAM including Community mobilization, Targeted supplementary feeding program for MAM Beneficiaries, Outpatient and Inpatient Therapeutic program for SAM beneficiaries with and without medical complications 1.1 Infant and Young Child Feeding (Planned target for the whole project life = 99,299) MC teams in each district conducted routine nutrition education and nutrition campaigns using different entertainment methods to teach people to change their nutrition practices and behavior. Health education and awareness creation were the center of MC and its partner’s, AAH’s, area of focus at all service delivery points, including food distribution days, Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) days and any occasions of community gathering. Awareness creation campaigns were conducted in all districts, at 64 selected kebeles. The campaigns focused on promotion of nutrition, hygiene promotion, particularly on Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN), Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) prevention through promoting the five key handwashing times. Different messages have been delivered during these campaigns through circus, dramas and local public entertainment methods including messages on exclusive breast-feeding for the child’s first six months and proper complementary feeding after six months. In total, 29,925 (M= 13,471 and F= 16,454) beneficiaries have been educated through these campaigns at 64 selected kebeles. IEC/BCC materials including IYCF counseling cards, mother action cards, breast feeding posters, WASH reminder cards, leaflets for water treatment chemical instruction, were produced and used to educate people. The Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNT) also provided routine health education with particular emphasis on maternal and child nutrition covering the first 1000 days of the children’s life. Through routine health education in sixteen districts, the project reached 246,221 (M= 48,472 and F=197,749) beneficiaries. The awareness of the community has been changed significantly.

  • COUNTRY Food Security Update
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook Update September 2013 Crops are at their normal developmental stages in most parts of the country Figure 1. Projected food security outcomes, KEY MESSAGES September 2013 • Following the mostly normal performance of the June to September Kiremt rains, most crops are at their normally expected developmental stage. A near normal Meher harvest is expected in most parts of the country. However, in places where Kiremt rains started late and in areas where some weather-related hazards occurred, some below normal production is anticipated. • Market prices of most staple cereals remain stable at their elevated levels compared to previous months, but prices are likely to fall slightly starting in October due to the expected near normal Meher production in most parts of the country, which, in turn, will also improve household-level food access from October to December. Source: FEWS NET Ethiopia • Overall, current nutritional status compared to June/July has slightly improved or remains the same with exceptions in Figure 2. Projected food security outcomes, some areas in northeastern Tigray and Amhara Regions as October to December 2013 well as some parts of East Hararghe Zone in Oromia Region. In these areas, there are indications of deteriorating nutritional status due to the well below average Belg harvest and the current absence of a green harvest from long-cycle Meher crops. CURRENT SITUATION • Cumulative Kiremt rainfall from June to September was normal to above normal and evenly distributed in all of Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ Region (SNNPR), in most parts of Amhara, in central and western parts Oromia, and in the central parts of Tigray.

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).

  • 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.

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.
