Building Resilience in EthiopiaEU strategy from 2013 and beyond

EU Resilience workshop26 – 27 June 2014

New approach to drought response

• Based on the critical premise that the way we have approached recurrent humanitarian crises is not cost efficient, does not give lasting results and should be changed

• From saving lives to saving livelihoods

Evolution of EU Strategy (ECHO and DEVCO)FROM (ECHO) TO (ECHO and DEVCO)

Nutrition centred Multi-sectoral with nutrition and food security as entry point Nutrition sensitive and specific

Often short term Middle to long term commitment

Mostly on curative side Curative and preventive

Pure humanitarian Humanitarian and development integration

Often installing parallel systems Working in isolation

Interaction with GOE woredas/zones/regional or federal level

Stop and go Stay and get ready for next drought

Note that the long term aspects are more concerning the Development side of the EU than ECHO.

Basic Resilience Building Model (humanitarian part)

Improved basic Services:

nutrition, health, WASH, education

Livelihoods support (AGR and livestock)

but also diversification of livelihoods

Safety nets for most chronically

vulnerable groups

DEV more long term vision and involvement, system approach, policy work

Crucial Elements to keep in mindMeaningful operational coordination in geographic clusters

Consortium of partners offering an integrated approach across sectors

Strong local ownership and leadership, onnational, regional and grassroots level

Cooperation with flagship programmes

Taking fully on board the GOE policies

Crisis modifier

Targeting the most vulnerable drop-outs… equity versus growth model

Continuity, flexibility and diversity of funding

Selection of 'EU Resilience Clusters' 8 areas identified (clusters of districts) / 34 districts in total

Covering > 2.5 M people with 74,000 people avg per district) ~ 12 M people in Ethiopia who are drought exposed

Selection based on historic needs and ECHO’s partners presence in the past

Homogeneity of livelihood features (common risk analysis)

Drought Hazard Frequency (1974 – 2007)

Situation and context analysis

Livelihood and wealth profiling analysis

Joint Risk analysis

Mapping existing operations and Gap analysis

GOE policies, programmesand activities

JointStrategy development

Impact measurement

Joint planning for implementation

Contingency planning and Pre-positioning of stocks

Crisis Modifier

Coordination structures

Joint M&E framework (1 per 18 months for cluster)

LL and good practice on joint action

Common 3 year outcome level logical framework

Project linked (18 months) logical frameworks

Results framework with timeline

Proposals for joint applied research topics

Challenges (just a few!)

Joint programming between humanitarian and dev and define optimal division of labour

Short and long term “vision, commitment and funding” Entry and exit criteria for clusters

Coordination with existing resilience building programmes (future integration within wider framework of PSNP and social protection)

Mainstreaming of resilience building in GOE policies and management structures

Most efficient way to anchor the programme in local and federal institutions in the middle to long term
