Ethiopia: Inter-Cluster HRD prioritization exercise

Attachments

SUMMARY

Following the mid-August launch of the Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) Mid-Year Review (MYR) and the September publication of the ‘Humanitarian partners’ joint plan to support Government response to acute watery diarrhoea (AWD) outbreak in Ethiopia’, this note has been prepared for donors, to ouline funding prioritiy gaps for the remainder of 2016 as agreed by the cluster partners, endorsed by the EHCT and in agreement with NDRMC. The priority funding gaps represent the conclusions of consultations between Cluster Coordinators and their Government counterparts. This note outlines the priority requirements linked to the most critical activities identified. As of 24 October, the total gap in the HRD MYR amounts to US$560,505,509 million.

Geographic priorities

Given high levels of vulnerability in many belg (spring rains) receiving areas that did not fully recover from the two failed rains in 2015, participants agreed that areas that had weak belg harvest in 2016 (parts of eastern Amhara region, eastern Oromia region and parts of SNNP region) would be prioritized. The pastoralist areas (Sitti zone in Somali region, southern Oromia and Afar region) also require close monitoring and should be prioritized by humanitarian partners. In addition, each cluster identified a list of priority woredas.
