EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Food Cluster: 8.5 million emergency beneficiaries and 4.5 m ex-public work clients received emergency food commodities. During the last quarter of 2017, IDPs were also targeted for emergency food distribution. There were delays in food distribution especially in Somali region. One round was dropped and two rounds were carried over to the first quarter of 2018. As a result, out of nine only six rounds of food distribution were completed within 2017. • Agriculture Cluster: 4.2 million animals (0.59 m HHs) received emergency feed provision, animal health and destocking services to save livelihoods of pastoralists in the south and southeastern parts of the country. The cluster was 43 per cent funded. • Education Cluster: 1.4 million (71 per cent) school children benefited from school feeding and 1.8 million with learning stationary provision during 2016/17 academic year. 15,352 IDP school-children (only 16 per cent) benefited from school temporary learning centers. More than 70 per cent of targeted beneficiaries were reached with significant contribution from the Government. • ESNFI Cluster: distributed 85,316 full ES/NFI kits and 12,986 cash grants and vouchers. During the last quarter of the year, the needs increased due to conflict along the Oromia-Somali borders that resulted in displacement of more than 800,000 people. This will significantly increase the needs in the first half of 2018.The cluster reached 53 per cent of its targeted beneficiaries. • Health Cluster: partners supported the primary health care (including emergency vaccinations) and disease outbreak surveillance & treatment notably AWD. 48,716 people were treated in Case Treatment Center (CTCs) and Case Treatment Unit (CTUs). • Nutrition Cluster: 344, 666 children with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and 2.4 million with Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) were treated. • Protection Cluster: 1,558 IDPs were reached through protection monitoring activities and 679 unaccompanied and separated children were reunited with their families. The cluster was 43 per cent funded. • WASH Cluster: 9.9 million people, including IDPs, were reached through water trucking, distribution of household water treatment chemicals and rehabilitation of water schemes. The cluster reached 94 per cent of its targeted people with higher coverage in SNNPR, Somali and Tigray regions. During the last quarter of the year, increase in number of conflict IDPs resulted in increased demand for water trucking, pipeline extension and construction of sanitation facilities. Due to resources constraints provision of water for IDPs especially in Oromia region remained a gap. 03 PART II: CLUSTER ACHIEVEMENTS PART I: introduction INTRODUCTION While Ethiopia continued to battle residual needs from the 2015-2016 El Niño induced drought, eastern and southern Ethiopia faced an Indian Ocean Dipole induced drought in 2017. The Government of Ethiopia and humanitarian partners issued a joint 2017 Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) in January 2017 requesting US$948 million for food and non-food assistance. In addition to 5.6 million people requiring emergency food assistance, 2.2 million people were included in April as late frosts reduced PART II: CLUSTER harvests in some spring-rain receiving areas. In the fall, the context changed again as the country faced a triple challenge of drought, flood and inter-communal conflict that displaced another 857,000 people. Parts of these changes were captured in the HRD Mid- Year Review (MYR) released in early August, which identified 8.5 million people requiring food assistance to the end of the year. ACHIEVEMENTS Separately, some 4 million people who had been ‘public works clients’ of the six-months (January-June) Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) required continued assistance to the end of the year. Newly identified needs since the MYR were captured in a “status update” document, released in October. These included a) the increase in internally displaced people, which increased the risk of an acute watery diarrhea (AWD) outbreak and the need for ES/NFI and WASH interventions among others; b) the deterioration of the nutrition situation necessitating the introduction of Blanket Supplementary Feeding in 45 critically drought-affected districts of Somali region; c) the new approach to food/cash relief assistance and an increase in the planned proportion of cash distribution for relief assistance; d) reports of crop failure in eastern Amhara, some parts of Oromia and SNNP regions due to frost and failed rains necessitating seed support for replanting; and e)funding for the prevention and control of Fall Armyworm infestation. Under the leadership of the Government of Ethiopia, delivery of life-saving and life-sustaining humanitarian assistance continues across all sectors amidst significant funding gaps. By the end of the year, the 2017 HRD was 82 per cent funded (against its latest revision of requirements), with new contributions in 2017 totalling $785 million from international donors and $147 million from the Government of Ethiopia and carry-over resources of $233 million from 2016. The 2017 progress of contributions towards the requirements can be seen in the figure below. 1.6 1.4 1.2 1.0 R C 0.8 US 0.6 0.4 0.2 1-Jan 1-Feb 1-Mar 1-Apr 1-May 1-Jun 1-Jul 1-Aug 1-Sep 1-Oct 1-Nov 1-Dec 31-Dec 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 2017 HRD until the end of 2017. The PMR also describes changes in the humanitarian context where appropriate. The update on the Ethiopia Humanitarian Fund (EHF) provides a detailed funding overview of prioritized projects supported in ‘hotspot’ areas of the country. The PMR complements the HRD, which is structured around three Strategic Objectives: 1) save lives and reduce morbidity related to drought and acute food insecurity; 2) protect and restore livelihoods; and 3) prepare for and respond to other humanitarian shocks, including natural disasters, conflict and displacement.
