Joint Rapid Needs Assessment Mission Afar Region 02 to 07 Joint Rapid Needs Assessment Mission Afar Region 02 to 07 December 2020 Background On the 4th of November 2020 conflict erupted between the Ethiopian Federal Government and the Regional Government of Tigray, some of the areas along the border with Tigray region were affected and as result large number of people fled the areas affected by the conflict to safer places within the Afar region. Furthermore, the areas along the border were also affected by the shutdown of the telephone network, banking system, electricity, also the inaccessibility to market which resulted in the unavailability of essential food supplies and affected the livelihood of displaced people and host community. With the objectives of understanding the overall situation, humanitarian partners in the Afar region, initiated discussion with the DPFSPCO and suggested organizing assessment mission to assess the impact of the conflict in the areas along the border with Tigray. An agreement was secured to conduct regional government- led assessment mission and as a result humanitarian partners and government sector bureaus mobilized resources and organized two joint teams to carry out five days rapid assessment to seven woredas along the border with Tigray that was directly affected by the conflict. Afar region remains highly vulnerable to a wide range of natural and man-made disasters. The region has been susceptible to recurrent drought, flood, animal diseases, conflict that has led to critical food and water shortages, deterioration of pasture, livestock mortality and large displacement impacting on the lives and livelihoods of the affected community. 1 Objectives The mission although was meant specifically to assess the impact of the recent conflict, also provided an opportunity for the team to assess the pre-existed needs. More specifically the mission sought to achieve the following objectives; • To assess the impact of the conflict and humanitarian needs across the areas that the team was able to visit and gather relevant information by engaging the affected communities and local authority, also observing the overall situation. • The assessment team intended to verify IDPs figures, identify needs and gaps, assess needs related to food security, WASH, Shelter/NFI, Health and Nutrition and Protection. Participants The joint assessment mission consisted of the following participants. Regional Government – (DPFSPCO, Health, Water, Women and Child and Peace and Security) WASH- (UNICEF/WASH Cluster and COOPI) Shelter/NFI- (IOM and NRC) Protection/GBV- (UNICEF/CP and IOM/SMS) Food Security – (WFP) Health and Nutrition (Relief International and GOAL). Logistics – (WFP) Coordination- (OCHA) Education- (Plan and Save the Children) LNGOs- (FSA) Security- (UNDSS) Methodology Interviews with Key informants using the MIRA questionnaire coupled with observations and focused group discussions with local authorities were used to gather information and assess the situation. Assessment Findings The findings are divided to general findings and cluster specific ones as listed below; Displacement- The team was able to confirm and verify the presence of IDPs in all areas that was able to visit, figures vary, however it is very clear people living in all villages/kebeles along the border with Tigray were displaced, though it was very difficult to estimate the exact figures of the total displaced people. Very limited number of Tigrayan people were displaced into the Afar region, local authorities in Yallo confirmed receiving about 1100 Tigrayan people which the team was unable to verify, the IDPs had returned three days prior to the assessment team arrival.

Majority of the Tigrayan IDPs interviewed were young people (some are 14 to 16-year-old), who fled for their safety and in fear of enrollment to military. Some of Afari were displaced from villages within the Tigray region and others from villages along the border with Tigray in the Afar region, all confirmed their willing to return if the situation improved, some of those interviewed confirmed huge displacement within the Tigray region, more specifically in the areas of Mohoni, Atbira, Chirchir and Halaga. The Afari IDPs were worried about properties in livestock in their places of origin, some said they don’t if their houses have been damaged or not. Living conditions for both, recently displaced people and host community remain very critical and require an immediate support more specifically on the areas of food, Shelter/NFI, Health WASH and Protection. The team was able to engage with local community, woreda authorities who reported large number of displacements along the border with Tigray, all people living in the those places were displaced, some lost their properties and livestock and majority currently living with host community and relatives. The conflict is having grave impact on the affected communities both in terms of access to basic services (i.e. food, water, health, nutrition, child protection, social welfare, etc.) and in terms of on-going security and protection issues. There is almost complete disruption of daily life and infrastructure (i.e. power supply, bank system, communication, markets) and perception of insecurity among people in border Woredas, even in Kebeles with no presence of armed actors and no displacement. A key observation was that, while displaced groups are particularly affected, the entire community in the border Woredas has been affected due to the Regional border closure’s impact on availability of food, drugs, health & nutrition supplies and the lack of electricity and fuel on water supply. Resulting protection issues are therefore to be expected in both the displaced and local communities. Worth mentioning also that all interviews with Key informants were only conducted in accessible Kebeles, but communities reported that many IDPs, especially young males, who initially fled to Kebele centres have now moved back to the border areas, within Afar Region, approximately 1 day’s walk from any road, to check on their livestock. The number and status of these IDPs are unknown and provision of assistance to them will be extremely challenging due to their inaccessibility. The category of affected 3 communities includes, Tigrayans and Afar IDPs, host communities, conflict affected community including IDPs-hosting households. Among the IDPs are vulnerable female headed households, children and youth, including unaccompanied and separated children (UASC). In addition, all affected people face significant obstacles to accessing basic needs and services which has profound implications for their physical and mental health and psychosocial wellbeing. Protection and Gender Based Violence: The conflict places women and children at grave risk of Gender Based Violence and life-threatening health complications. Single female headed HHs, with large family sizes of many young children, who were visibly affected by several kinds of health and nutrition conditions (Afar IDPs); Child marriage has been reported by female KIs as a significant protection concern. The problem was already exacerbated by the school closures in March 2020 due to Covid-19 and further intensified by the conflict situation that has forced almost all partners to withdraw from these Woredas and suspend programming. In Yalo Woreda, authorities reported that Tigray IDPs who had been living in three Collective Centres in Yalo Woreda were ordered to Tigray by the National Defence Forces, as their areas of origin are now under Federal control. They returned, with the assistance of the authorities, at the end of Nov 2020, while Afar IDPs remained in the Woreda. Key informants interviewed raised the following protection related concerns. • Loss of IDP HH assets due to loss and damage in the conflict and/or due to having to flee suddenly; • Lack of information about the situation of family members in Tigray or in the border area due to lack of telephone network and insecurity; Displacement of registered refugees out of refugee camp (Berhale camp) to the host community (Erebti Woreda and town) due to reported lack of assistance and fear of a spread of fighting1; Afari asylum seekers (48 HHs)from Eritrea are fully dependent on the local community for assistance and their children are unable to access education. Overcrowding of local community shelters due to hosting of IDPs, often of large family size, creating GBV, Child Protection and COVID-19 risks. According to Abala Woreda officials, border areas used by pastoralists for livestock grazing are likely now mined and there is presence of UXO in some locations. Women and female headed HHs have to borrow money and food from business owners which puts them at risk of over indebtedness and this in turn heightens their risk of sexual exploitation and abuse. • Women and children have to walk long distances to collect firewood in the hills (unavailability of charcoal in the markets and no electricity for cooking) which puts them at risk of sexual violence and abduction.

  • 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.

    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.
