Award #: FFP-A-16-00008 SPIR Quarterly Performance Report FY19Q2 Submitted July 23,2019 iv II. OVERVIEW AND CONTEXT i. Program Overview The Strengthen PSNP4 Institutions and Resilience (SPIR) Development Food Security Activity program (DFSA) implemented by World Vision, CARE and ORDA aims to enhance livelihoods, increase resilience to shocks, and improve food security and nutrition for rural households vulnerable to food insecurity in Ethiopia. SPIR is responsive to community needs, carefully aligned with the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) and grounded in the depth of experience of its consortium partners. SPIR aligns with overall DFSA programming in Ethiopia with a focus on institutional strengthening of the PSNP, especially at the Woreda and Kebele-levels. The grant is currently in its 3rd year of implementation, and this quarterly performance report summarizes the key progress made by SPIR over the period from January to March 2019. ii. Food Security Situation There have not been significant new events observed that affected the food security of SPIR operational areas during the reporting period. The ‘Belg’ rains had a better distribution during this season, as compared with last year. While the food security picture was normal in Kurfachelle and Grawa woredas, it was below average in Chiro and Gemechis woredas which were still struggling to recover from smaller harvests from last season. According to the government’s post-harvest report in Daro Lebu woreda, out of 97,000 peoples in need of food aid, only 45,467 beneficiaries are receiving emergency support from government. In Siraro woreda, 68,000 people were displaced due to conflict and (as of the writing of this report in the month of April 2019) the government is currently supporting 32,000 people with temporary

E-mail: [email protected] Received: June 30, 2015 Accepted: July 22, 2015 Online Published: September 15, 2015 doi:10.5539/jas.v7n10p29 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jas.v7n10p29 Abstract Collaborative projects have been undertaken between Hawassa University, Ethiopia and the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, with aims at mitigating protein and micronutrient malnutrition in Ethiopia. The main objective of this review is to assess complementary feeding practices of mothers in the project sites in Southern Ethiopia based on baseline data compiled by a total of nine independent studies. Findings revealed that complementary feeding practices are unacceptably poor in all the districts considered, despite the fact that larger proportion of mothers had knowledge on the timing and importance of complementary feeding to their child. The computed Diet Diversity Score (DDS) which was measured using 24-hour recall of children’s intake, indicated that those with adequate DDS (> 4) were < 25% for 6 of 9 surveys, and the most frequently consumed food groups were low protein grains, roots and tubers.

  • Biophysical Environment Based Malaria Risk Zoning, and Incidence Relationship in Sidama Zone, Ethiopia
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 24, Issue 5, Ser. 6 (May. 2019) 76-86 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Biophysical Environment Based Malaria Risk Zoning, and Incidence Relationship in Sidama Zone, Ethiopia Tamiru Abate1 1Department of Geography and Environmental studies, Hawassa University Corresponding Author: * Tamiru Abate1 Abstract: Although several attempts were made to control malaria, it is still the leading cause of human mortality and morbidity in Ethiopia. The interpretation of the tie between the spatial landscape dynamics and malaria risk zone and its synchrony to the incidences has great importance in planning the interventions measures to control the spontaneous breakout of the pandemic. The study area, Sidama zone, which extends from the floor of the Great Rift Valley to the south east highlands of Ethiopia, is used to characterize the interpretation of the biophysical environment with malaria risk zoning. GIS and remote sensing technology were applied as a toolkit to manipulate and analyze the given variables for prioritizing areas of intervention to control the pandemic. According to this study more than half of the study area is depicted out as malaria inflicted area, and the high risk zones are situated particularly on the administrative districts of Shebedino, Dalle and Wendogenet. And, as the risk has positive relationship with population density of the area, it has sigmoidal patterns with temperature and elevation and in terms of land use classes; the agroforestry is taken to be the highest cause for malaria risk. The areas of the malaria risk zone and the number of incidences by administrative districts is also highly synchronous.

  • Flood Alert Flood Alert
    FLOOD ALERT FLOOD ALERT INTRODUCTION Based on the forecasts by the National Meteorological Agency (NMA), the DRMFSS‐led Flood Task Force comprised of representation from National Meteorological Agency (NMA), sectoral line ministries, UN agencies, NGOs and donors, under the Disaster Risk Management Technical Working Group (DRMTWG) has been reactivated to closely monitor the flood situation and facilitate timely preparedness and response measures. The Task Force prepared this Flood Alert, which indicates the forecast for the 2011 kiremt season and identifies flood risk areas in order to trigger timely mitigation, preparedness and response measures. The alert will be regularly updated inline with further forecasts by NMA and the development of the situation on the ground. Based on the alert, the taskforce will prepare a Flood Contingency Plan. BACKGROUND Flood, as one of the major natural hazards in Ethiopia, impacts lives and livelihoods in parts of the country. Flooding in Ethiopia is mainly linked with the national topography of highland mountains and lowland plains with natural drainage systems formed by the principal river basins. Most floods in the country occur as a result of river overflow following prolonged rainfall that causes rivers to runoff and inundate areas along their banks in lowland plains. Among the major river flood‐prone areas are parts of Oromia and Afar regions lying along the upper, mid and downstream plains of the Awash River; parts of Somali Region along the Wabishebelle, Genale and Dawa rivers; low‐lying areas of Gambella along the Baro, Gilo and Akobo rivers; downstream areas along the Omo River in SNNPR and the extensive floodplains surrounding Lake Tana and the banks of Gumara, Rib and Megech rivers in Amhara (see Map 1 below).

  • Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia National Disaster Risk Management Commission, Early Warning and Emergency Response Directorate
    Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia National Disaster Risk Management Commission, Early Warning and Emergency Response Directorate Flood Alert #3 Landslide incident in Oromia region, 29 May 2018 June 2018 FLOOD ALERT INTRODUCTION In April 2018, the NDRMC-led multi-sector National Flood Task Force issued the first Flood Alert based on the National Meteorology Agency (NMA) Mid-Season Forecast for the belg/gu/ganna season (April to May 2018). Subsequently, on 20 May, the National Flood Task Force updated and issued a second Flood Alert based on the monthly NMA weather update for the month of May 2018 which indicates a geographic shift in rainfall from the southeastern parts of Ethiopia (Somali region) towards the western, central and some parts of northern Ethiopia including southern Oromia, some parts of SNNPR, Amhara, Gambella, Afar and Tigray during the month of May 2018. On 29 May, the NMA issued a new weather forecast for the 2018 kiremt season indicating that many areas of northern, northeastern, central, western, southwestern, eastern and adjoining rift valleys are expected to receive dominantly above normal rainfall. In addition, southern highlands and southern Ethiopia are likely to receive normal to above normal rainfall activity, while normal rainfall activity is expected over pocket areas of northwestern Ethiopia. It is also likely that occasional heavy rainfall may inundate low-lying areas in and around river basins. The Flood Alert has therefore been revised for the third time to provide updated information on the probable weather condition for the 2018 kiremt season and identify areas likely to be affected in the country to prompt timely mitigation, preparedness and response measures.
