Emergency Site Assessment: Northern Ethiopia Crisis 3 Data Collection: 2 — 26 February 2021 Publication Date: 20 March 2021 KEY FINDINGS Emergency Site Assessment: Northern Ethiopia Crisis 3 Data Collection: 2 — 26 February 2021 Publication Date: 20 March 2021 KEY FINDINGS BACKGROUND: 417,152 IDPs* In early November 2020, the regional party of Tigray allegedly attacked the Northern Command of Ethiopia’s National Defense Force in Mekelle, Tigray region, prompting a military offensive from the federal government of Ethiopia. Following this, conflict broke out in the north of Ethiopia and 108,116 IDP this has displaced many from their homes. Households* OVERVIEW: From 2 — 26 February 2021, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) deployed its Emergency 96 sites Site Assessment to capture internal displacement related to the Northern Ethiopia Crisis. This covered* multisectoral location assessment assesses the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and collects basic information on the multisectoral needs of IDPs at site level. Conflict was In this third round, 417,152 IDPs (108,116 households)* were found to be displaced across 96 sites the primary in Tigray, Amhara and Afar regions. 360,268 IDPs (92,856 households) were found in Tigray region, reason for 41,951 IDPs (7,700 households) in Afar region and 14,933 IDPs (7,560 households) in Amhara displacement region. It should be noted that access and insecurity were considerable challenges for this round.

In this third through interviews with key informants from woreda level round, 3 regions, 8 zones, 28 woredas, 67 kebeles and 88 Disaster Risk Management Offices (DRMO), community sites were covered. representatives, education and health offices. This baseline data includes the estimated number of internally displaced The number of participants in focus group discussions for persons by kebele, a list of kebeles hosting IDPs, reason for the Emergency Site Assessment are based on the size of the displacement and shelter types. This baseline data is used to displaced population at the site: guide the geotargeting of the Emergency Site Assessment. 4 IDPs for sites with 50-100 IDP households Emergency Site Assessment (ESA): This assessment captures 5 IDPs for sites with 101-150 IDP households detailed information through focus group discussions and 6 IDPs for sites with 151-200 IDP households direct observation. Data collected covers the number of IDPs, 7 IDPs for sites with 201 IDP households or more site details, availability of infrasturcture and services, shelter types, and access to food, water, healthcare, education and Depending on the size of the focus group discussion, more livelihoods. The ESA is conducted in any location in Tigray, IDP leaders, females, youths and elderly persons must and in the neighbouring zones of Amhara and Afar with be part of the discussion. However, the aim is to have reported displacements of 20 IDP households or more who 50% female participation in every focus group discussion were displaced due to the Northern Ethiopia Crisis, provided whenever it is possible. that access and security allow.

In 14 sites, more than 75% of IDP households are living in self-constructed shelters that are below standard (no waterproofing, no covering, weak structure). Main Concerns with the Current Shelter The main concern with the current shelter reported by IDPs was a lack of privacy in 79 sites (90%), followed by overcrowding in 60 sites (68%) and a lack of light in 51 sites (58%).

Despite the fact that it directly affects 15% of Ethiopians, understanding and policy-relevant studies on disability and the conditions of persons with disabilities are lacking.

  • Modelling the Current Fractional Cover of an Invasive Alien Plant and Drivers of Its Invasion in a Dryland Ecosystem
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Modelling the current fractional cover of an invasive alien plant and drivers of its invasion in a dryland Received: 23 July 2018 Accepted: 23 November 2018 ecosystem Published: xx xx xxxx Hailu Shiferaw1,3, Urs Schafner 2, Woldeamlak Bewket3, Tena Alamirew1, Gete Zeleke1, Demel Teketay4 & Sandra Eckert5 The development of spatially diferentiated management strategies against invasive alien plant species requires a detailed understanding of their current distribution and of the level of invasion across the invaded range. The objectives of this study were to estimate the current fractional cover gradient of invasive trees of the genus Prosopis in the Afar Region, Ethiopia, and to identify drivers of its invasion. We used seventeen explanatory variables describing Landsat 8 image refectance, topography, climate and landscape structures to model the current cover of Prosopis across the invaded range using the random forest (RF) algorithm. Validation of the RF algorithm confrmed high model performance with an accuracy of 92% and a Kappa-coefcient of 0.8. We found that, within 35 years after its introduction, Prosopis has invaded approximately 1.17 million ha at diferent cover levels in the Afar Region (12.3% of the surface). Normalized diference vegetation index (NDVI) and elevation showed the highest explanatory power among the 17 variables, in terms of both the invader’s overall distribution as well as areas with high cover. Villages and linear landscape structures (rivers and roads) were found to be more important drivers of future Prosopis invasion than environmental variables, such as climate and topography, suggesting that Prosopis is likely to continue spreading and increasing in abundance in the case study area if left uncontrolled.
