Nevertheless, humanitarian challenges will continue in pocket areas in the northeastern and southeastern parts of the country where the seasonal rainfall performance was poor. Moreover, food security will likely continue to deteriorate in areas affected by various hazards during the latter half of 2014. An estimated 2.9 million relief food beneficiaries are identified to require emergency relief food assistance in 2015. Additionally, an estimated 381,000 people may be in need of food assistance in the coming belg season, subject to verification at the mid-year review. The total gross emergency food and non-food requirement for 2015 amounts to USD 386 million. Considering available resources amounting to USD 41 million, the net total requirement stands at USD 344 million. The net food and TSF requirement totals to 353,269.78 MT, estimated to cost around 277 million. In addition, a total of net USD 67.9 million is required to respond to the non-food needs of identified beneficiaries in the health and nutrition, WASH, agriculture and education sectors.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 1.1. 2015 Annual Humanitarian Requirements Document The humanitarian needs projections in this document are based on the findings of the 2014 multi- sector and multi-agency meher assessment and on secondary data analysis. Close to 200 experts from Government, UN, donors and NGOs took part in the three-week meher assessment. The annual belg assessment will act as a mid-year review, at which point a review of the context analysis and the beneficiary figures will be conducted. The annual HRD is in line with the Government’s DRM policy focusing on baseline information, monitoring tools, and preparedness using regular Early Warning, monitoring and satellite imagery analysis such as the Livelihood Early Assessment and Protection (LEAP), the Livelihood Impact Analysis and Seasonality (LIAS) and the Woreda Disaster Risk Profiling (WDRP). The annual HRD and its release aims to facilitate resource mobilization and to enable earlier pre-positioning of essential items in strategic stores at federal and regional levels allowing a swift response to sudden onset emergencies. 1.2. Humanitarian Situation Overview 1.2.2 National Overview As a result of the near normal 2014 kiremt rains and the subsequent good harvest and livestock production prospects, an improved food security

  • 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.
