Flood Update Heavy Rains in Pocket Areas Across the Country Continued Flood Update Heavy rains in pocket areas across the country continued to cause flooding over the past weeks, including in Kebridehar Town, Dobawein and El Ogaden woredas of Korahe zone; Gashamo woreda and Degehabur Town of Jarar zone; and Ferfer, Mustahil and Kalafo woredas of Shabelle zone (Somali Region), affecting more than 9,000 households. Similarly, floods in Chenaksen, Fedis, Babile and Haromaya woredas of East Hararge and Tulu and Oda Bultum woredas of West Hararge zones (Oromia Region); Humbo woreda of Wolayita zone and Loka Abaya woreda of Sidama zone (SNNPR) affected more than 1,300 households across both regions. In addition to displacement, the floods caused damages to infrastructures and loss of livelihoods, including houses, water schemes, livestock, farmlands and food stocks. The Government’s Disaster Risk Management and Food Security Sector (DRMFSS) responded to the needs of the flood-affected population in SNNPR, while those in Oromia and Somali have yet to receive assistance. For more information, contact: [email protected] WASH Update Water trucking further scaled down over the past two weeks, as a result of continued good seasonal rainfall received in chronically water-insecure parts of the country. All drought-affected woredas in Afar, Oromia, Somali and SNNP Regions received normal to above-normal rainfall, resulting in improved water availability. In Tigray Region, reports indicate that parts of Raya Azebo woreda (South Tigray zone) received normal rainfall, while the below normal rains in the drought affected woredas of Atsbi Wonberta (Eastern Tigray zone), Endamehoni and Alaje (South Tigray zone) and Ahiferom (Central Tigray zone) was unable to fully replenish water sources in these areas. Meanwhile, water shortage remains critical in Minjar Shenkora woreda (North Shewa zone) and East Belesa woreda (North Gonder zone) of Amhara Region. Accordingly, 32 water trucks – down from 36 two weeks ago and 78 trucks three weeks ago – were requested for Dubti, Elidar (zone 1), Afdera, Berhale (zone 2) and Teru (zone 4) woredas of Afar (9 trucks); Raya Azebo, Erob, Wukro, Tsada Amba Town (Eastern Tigray), Beaker, Adibay and Humera Towns (Western Tigray), Edega Arbi, Shiraro, Shire (North Western Tigray) woredas of Tigray (15 trucks); Kumbi (East Hararge), Shalla, Siraro (West Arsi) woredas of Oromia (5 trucks); and Minjar Shenkora woreda of Amhara (3 trucks) Regions, of which 23 were operational as of 16 April. For more information, contact [email protected] Relief Food Update Relief food dispatch for the first round of 2013, targeting 2.48 million people nationwide, reached 76 per cent, including 84 per cent dispatched to areas covered by the Disaster Risk Management and Food Security Sector (DRMFSS), 75 per cent to areas covered by the NGO consortium Joint Emergency Operation (JEOP), and 68 per cent to WFP- covered areas in the Somali Region, as of 16 April. The Government and humanitarian partners expressed concerns over delays in dispatch and distribution of relief food, as each round is meant to be a one-month ration. The first round distribution is now over a month late. Meanwhile, dispatch of the Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) food allocation for February reached 90 per cent completion; while the PSNP food allocation for March reached 30 per cent, with 56 per cent of total allocation dispatched to Afar and nine per cent to Somali Regions. For more information, contract [email protected] Nutrition Update The revised list of nutrition hotspot woredas for the second quarter of 2013 (April to June) was released on 17 April. Overall, the number of hotspot woredas slightly increased by 4.3 per cent from 327 in January - when the last hotspot revision was conducted - to 341 at present. Given the deteriorating food security situation in the country, the number of priority 1 woredas increased by 27 per cent, from 89 to 113 woredas; while the number of priority 3 woredas increased by 13.2 per cent, from 53 to 60 woredas. However, the number of priority 2 woredas decreased by 8.6 per cent, from 185 in January to 169 in April, as some of the priority 2 woredas were upgraded to priority 1 woredas. The nutrition hotspot list is intended to guide government and nutrition partners in the prioritization and allocation of available resources in planning and implementing nutrition and related responses. The DRMFSS/ENCU urges humanitarian partners to provide timely emergency nutrition responses in affected areas during this peak hunger season, extending from April to June. For more information, contract [email protected] Education Update In Afar Region, the Regional Education Bureau, with support from education partners, is planning a “back to school campaign” scheduled to take place in May, benefiting some 15,000 children (40 per cent girls). The campaign targets 31 schools that had closed down due to lack of water during the dry season. The current seasonal rains have improved water availability in the targeted areas. In Somali Region, the NGO OWDA will construct 13 semi-permanent schools in five learning spaces, including Labiraar, Sogto, and Birafay in Filtu woreda and Deka Teket and Hayasiftu in Dekasiftu woreda. A total of 1,319 children (40 per cent girls) will benefit from improved access to education. For more information, contract [email protected] .

  • ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook July to December 2014
    ETHIOPIA Food Security Outlook July to December 2014 Most pastoral areas to remain Stressed (IPC Phase 2!) even with humanitarian assistance KEY MESSAGES Current food security outcomes, July 2014 Poor households in the highlands of Arsi Zone in central Oromia have moved into Crisis (IPC Phase 3) having lost Belg crops typically harvested in June/July and a large number of livestock. Their food security is unlikely to improve until the Meher harvest in October. In southern and southeastern pastoral areas, poor households in most areas are Stressed (IPC Phase 2!) but only with the presence of humanitarian assistance. This is due to low livestock prices due to poor body conditions. However, with improved livestock body conditions and productivity anticipated with the start of the likely above-average October to December Deyr/Hageya rains, households are likely to move into Stressed (IPC Phase 2) with less dependence on assistance by late October.

The continuation of the below-normal July to September Karma/Karan rains will bring only a minor, insignificant increase to pasture, browse, and water availability. Households will continue to depend on humanitarian assistance as a key source of food. Due to some harvest in October, the Tekeze River catchment in Tigray and Amhara Regions and central parts of Oromia Region are expected to improve from Crisis (IPC Phase 3) from July to September to Stressed (IPC Phase 2) from October to December.

  • Periodic Monitoring Report Working 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document – Ethiopia Group
    DRMTechnical Periodic Monitoring Report Working 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document – Ethiopia Group Covering 1 Jan to 31 Dec 2016 Prepared by Clusters and NDRMC Introduction The El Niño global climactic event significantly affected the 2015 meher/summer rains on the heels of failed belg/ spring rains in 2015, driving food insecurity, malnutrition and serious water shortages in many parts of the country. The Government and humanitarian partners issued a joint 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) in December 2015 requesting US$1.4 billion to assist 10.2 million people with food, health and nutrition, water, agriculture, shelter and non-food items, protection and emergency education responses. Following the delay and erratic performance of the belg/spring rains in 2016, a Prioritization Statement was issued in May 2016 with updated humanitarian requirements in nutrition (MAM), agriculture, shelter and non-food items and education.The Mid-Year Review of the HRD identified 9.7 million beneficiaries and updated the funding requirements to $1.2 billion. The 2016 HRD is 69 per cent funded, with contributions of $1.08 billion from international donors and the Government of Ethiopia (including carry-over resources from 2015). Under the leadership of the Government of Ethiopia delivery of life-saving and life- sustaining humanitarian assistance continues across the sectors. However, effective humanitarian response was challenged by shortage of resources, limited logistical capacities and associated delays, and weak real-time information management. This Periodic Monitoring Report (PMR) provides a summary of the cluster financial inputs against outputs and achievements against cluster objectives using secured funding since the launch of the 2016 HRD.
