Geneva, 10 July, 2012

Dear Colleagues,

The ACT Alliance Ethiopia forum has found it necessary to revise the current appeal to include drought rehabilitation activities and to prioritise activities based on the funding received to date. This revised appeal replaces the previous one issued on October 6 th 2011, ETHrev2. New and revised parts of the document are highlighted in green colour.

More than 19 million people in the Sahel region including 2.8 million from Burkina Faso are at risk of food insecurity according to FAO report1. The reason for this severe food crisis is not only caused by a prolonged drought and the subsequent severe decline of agricultural production but is also a consequence of high food prices, displacement and chronic poverty. The situation has been further worsened by the political instability in Mali and the influx of an estimated 65,0002 Malian refugees in Burkina Faso.
