10.1 million Ethiopians will be assisted through this plan. The overall requirements come to US$1.409 billion of which US$1.1 billion is food assistance. The HRD will also support emergency nutrition, water, sanitation, health, education and agricultural needs. Already in 2015, the Government had allocated over US$200 million of its own resources. For 2016, a further US$97 million have been committed. Using these funds, the Government will ensure the provision of 516,000 Metric Tons of food for the first rounds of humanitarian assistance next year.

Government and donor pipeline pledges and carry-over as of 7 December mean that net food requirements are US$945,141 million. This brings HRD net overall requirements to US$1.250 billion.
The international community is called upon to stand with the people of Ethiopia at their time of need and help fund the HRD.
