ABOUT THIS REPORT
Aim
This report aims to provide a national-level analysis of the implications of the
US funding freeze and subsequent terminations of aid for the humanitarian
context in Ethiopia to support understanding and decision-making.
Scope
This analysis covers the broader national-level implications for the
humanitarian response in Ethiopia. Comprehensive information on the number of people or programmes affected by the funding freeze and terminations is not available, and this analysis does not provide estimates of the number of people affected.
Methodology
This analysis is based on a review of available public and non-public information on the impact of the US funding freeze in Ethiopia, complemented by expert interviews with humanitarian responders in the country.
Limitations
The situation around the US funding freeze and grant terminations is rapidly evolving, both in terms of new developments related to waivers, US court cases, and USAID operations, as well as related to concrete impacts on humanitarian operations and crisis-affected people and the capacity of organisations to cope with the funding freeze and project terminations. Information on the impact on humanitarian sectors and specific organisations is also highly limited and only indicative. New information released after publication may invalidate parts of the analysis presented in this report. ACAPS encourages humanitarian responders to contact us with additional information not covered in this report at info@acaps.org.
