ACT AppealEthiopia - AFET61Relief & Food Security AssistanceGeneva,
31 March 2006
Appeal
Target: US$ 2,172,380
Between January
and July 2006, a total of 2,579,510 people in Ethiopia will need food
aid and a further 845,390 persons are highly vulnerable. Currently
there is drought affecting much of the east and the Horn of Africa.
The worst affected areas in Ethiopia are the southern zones which
border Kenya and Somalia. Significant assistance is requested in this
appeal for this situation. As serious as this situation is, requests
are also made here for the lingering emergency needs in other parts
of the country. The harsh reality of life in Ethiopia is that today's
vulnerable communities all too easily get cought up on an ongoing
cycle of poverty. In the south, pastoralist communities are close
to losing all their livestock, and with that their means of livelihood.
The scale of the
disaster is huge. The speed at which the affected communities have
become affected is due at least to some extent to the lack of ongoing
livelihood support they have experienced in the past few years. Although
much of the livestock loss in the current drought could not be avoided,
the depth of the loss could have been reduced. In addition to the
immediate emergency needs in the south there are ongoing emergency
needs in other parts of the country. These needs are in communities
that are food insecure, and need urgent assistance on top of food
aid to stand any chance of progressing towards some sort of self sufficiency.
In addition to
these ongoing emergencies, the situation in the south is extremely
grave. The assistance that has been provided in the drought affected
south so far has not been on a large enough scale to prevent the imminent
total loss of livelihood faced by the pastoralist communities. In
Borena alone an estimated 360,000 people are affected. The situations
in other parts of the country are not as dramatic in terms of immediate
distress, but are equally capable of causing destitution over a longer
time frame if not addressed. ACT members in
Ethiopia working together include: the Ethiopian Orthodox Church,
Ethiopian Evangelical Church Melane Yesus, Christian Aid with
it partners, DanChurchAid, Lutheran World Federation and
Norwegian Church Aid have agreed to operate as a forum and to
coordinate this emergency response. There will be a formalised Memorandum
of Understanding outlining the responsibilities of the participants
whether they are operational, or supporting with the donation of funds.
Norwegian Church Aid, has agreed to function as the coordinating agency
for the ACT Ethiopia forum. This means it will ensure adequate monitoring
and reporting is carried out, and provide advice and support to the
implementing partners. Project
