BACKGROUND 1.1. Introduction The NDRMC-led Flood Task Force (FTF) prepared this revised Flood Contingency Plan in order to mitigate the adverse impacts of anticipated floods in the kiremt (June to September) season. The Contingency Plan (CP) will also serve as a tool to mobilize resources to respond to priority needs in relevant sectors. The CP identifies the most likely scenario based on the weather forecast and analysis of the preparedness and response capacity of at-risk or affected communities. The NMA forecast for kiremt, which formed the basis for the development of the Alert documents and CPs, warns that flooding is anticipated in many areas including the northern, western, northwestern, southwestern, northeastern, and central parts of the country. This CP provides flood-related requirements by sector for the kiremt season, including other mitigation and preparedness measures. The multi-agency Flood Task Force issued two Flood Alerts in April and June 2016 and a Contingency Plan in May 2016 to raise awareness of anticipated flood risk in flash and river flood prone areas in the country. During the months of March and May, floods resulted in loss of lives, livelihoods and infrastructure in Amhara, Somali, Afar, Oromia, SNNP and Hareri Region and Dire Dawa Administrative Council. The revised Flood Alert that was issued in June 2016 indicated that floods during belg season (March to May) caused devastating impacts on lives and livelihoods of communities in Oromia, Somali, and SNNP, Afar, Amhara, Tigray, Dire Dawa, and Harari regions. Furthermore, the floods caused significant damage on cropped lands, schools and health facilities. The flood incidence caused displacement of over 195,000 people in flash and river flood prone areas. 1.2 La Niña According to the NMA weather outlook for the 2016 kiremt season, enhanced La Niña event is anticipated where most of the kiremt benefiting areas of the country are likely to have significant rainfall activity. Pronounced impact of La Niña is anticipated in the peak months of July and August also noting that the belg (March to May) rains already caused soil saturation in many areas. Similarly, the probabilities of flash and river floods will likely increase in the peak months (July and August) following intensified La Niña situations. 1.3 Forecast for kiremt 2016 The NMA identified the years 1998 and 1983 as the best analogue years. The outlook indicates that the season (June to September 2016) will be characterized by the following phenomenon. The onset and cessation of the seasonal rain is expected to follow normal patterns. Above-normal rainfall is anticipated to dominate across the Northern, North-Western and North-Eastern parts of the country, with occasional heavy falls at different places. Western and South-Western Ethiopia are anticipated to have normal to above- normal rainfall activity. 3 Many places of Central and Eastern Ethiopia including southern highlands are expected to receive normal tending to above-normal rainfall activity. Map 1: Rainfall probability for kiremt 2016 season 1.4 NMA forecast for July 2016 The National Meteorology Agency (NMA) forecasts that in July, the kiremt rain bearing weather systems will strengthen over the western, central, eastern and northeastern parts of the country. Consequently, normal to above-normal rainfall is expected in the western, central and northeastern parts including East and West Wollega, Jimma, Illu Ababora, West Shewa, East Shewa and North Shewa, Arsi and Bale zones in Oromia region; most zones in Gambella region; East and West Gojjam, Bahir Dar Zuria, North and South Gonder zones in Amhara region; parts of Benishangul Gumuz region; most zones of Tigray region; and Hadiya, Gurage, Keffa, Bench Maji, Wolayita, and Sidama zones in SNNP region. Additionally, heavy falls in parts of the above-mentioned areas will

  • Memo on Violence in South Omo Areas, SNNPRS, Ethiopia (October 2019): a Call for Preventive Action and Rule of Law
    Memo on violence in South Omo areas, SNNPRS, Ethiopia (October 2019): a call for preventive action and rule of law Concerned Scholars Ethiopia (CSE) 25 October 2019 1. Since the 2018 change of government and the significant and promising reform process in Ethiopia, not all regions and peoples have fared equally well. While the policies of the new, Nobel Laureate PM Abiy Ahmed and his government hold out hope for millions and have bought very meaningful, positive changes, developments on the local level in ‘peripheral’ regions outside the purview of the Federal government are not yet addressed. Scores of people – including those of ethnic minority groups - are suffering of displacement, killings, and discrimination – all issues that are not in line with the new ethos of democratic reform and human rights respect. 2. The present Memo calls attention to the situation in the South Omo Region - as emblematic for more general problems that play out in some areas of the Southern Regional State (SNNPRS), in Beni Shangul-Gumuz, Gambela and possibly other Regional States of Ethiopia. 3. The prime cases at hand here are that of the ‘Bodi’ people (self-name: Me’en, with two sub-divisions: Mela and Chirim) in South Omo Zone (since 2nd week of September), and the Mursi people in South Omo Zone (since 29 September 2019, through to 13 October). Since 20 October there are also indications of additional instability in the Dima area (southwest of Mizan town) that has led to killings of people of the Suri ethnic group. So far, no decisive action has been taken by either the Federal Army or by local, Zonal or SNNPRS Regional authorities against abusive police and armed forces units.

A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select sample respondent households. In the first phase, three potential wheat grower districts namely, Bassona Worrana, Siyadebrna Wayu, and Moretna Jiru were selected purposively. In the second stage, six potential kebeles (lowest administrative level), two from each of the three districts were selected. In the third phase, proportionally with population size, 374 sample households were selected using simple random sampling techniques from each of the selected kebeles. Cobb-Douglas Stochastic Frontier Production (SFP) function and inefficiency function were used to estimate the technical inefficiency level of wheat producers using a one-step maximum likelihood estimation procedure. The average productivity of wheat was found to be 32.60 quintals per hectare.

  • Army Worm Infestation in SNNP and Oromia Regions As of 24 May
    Army worm infestation in SNNP and Oromia Regions As of 24 May, some 8,368 hectares of belg cropland was reportedly destroyed by army worms in Wolayita zone of SNNPR - an area that suffered from late onset of the 2013 belg rains and subsequent heavy rains that damaged belg crops. The damage caused by the army worms will further reduce the expected harvest this season. Similar incidents were also reported from Boricha, Bona Zuria, Dara, Dale, Hawassa Zuria and Loko Abaya woredas of Sidama zone; Loma and Mareka woredas of Dawro zone (SNNPR), as well as from drought prone areas of East and West Hararge zones of Oromia Region; and quickly spreading to neighbouring areas. In Boricha woreda, for example, more than 655 hectares of belg cropland was destroyed in the course of one week, this is indicative of the speed that damage is being caused. Immediate distribution of spraying containers and chemicals to the farmers is required to prevent further loss of belg crops. For more information, contact: [email protected] Health Update The number of meningitis cases has gradually declined since the outbreak was declared in January. To date, 1,371 cases were reported from 24 woredas in five zones of SNNP and Oromia Regions. The Government, with support from health partners, is conducting a reactive vaccination in the affected areas, with 1, 678,220 people vaccinated so far. Next week, the number of people vaccinated during the Addis Ababa City Administration meningitis vaccination campaign, conducted from 20 to 26 May, will be released. Meanwhile, the number of kebeles reporting cases of Yellow Fever in South Ari, Benatsemay and Selmago woredas of South Omo zone, SNNPR, increased.
