Appeal - Ethiopia
Relief & Food Security - AFET41
(Revision 1)
Appeal Target: US$ 3,160,683
Geneva, 15 September 2004
In spite of the past and on-going efforts related to rehabilitation and
development, millions continue to be food insecure in a number of areas of
Ethiopia. This is primarily due to the poor rainfall and outbreaks of
human and animal diseases in different areas of the country prone to
chronic food deficits. The food security situation at the beginning of
2004 has somewhat improved, especially in highland crop producing areas
due to satisfactory performance of the main rain season (meher), allowing
a significant increase in production over the last drought year. However,
the pockets of emergency remain, particularly in low land crop growing and
pastoral areas. The UN sources estimate that food assistance is necessary
for some 7.2 million people in Ethiopia.
ACT member Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus (EECMY) has been for
two decades fully involved in relief and rehabilitation programs aimed at
averting the protracting humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia.
Their humanitarian program for 2004/2005 seeks to tackle the food
insecurity in the most vulnerable parts of Ethiopia by the following
means:
- Provision of emergency relief food (grain and oil)
- Provision of rehabilitation inputs (seeds and tools)
For sake of brevity, this revised appeal includes only the proposal of
EECMY. For the proposal of Ethiopia Orthodox Church, please refer to the
original ACT appeal AFET-41.

IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER & PARTNER INFORMATION
The EECMY has been engaged in relief and rehabilitation works in Ethiopia
for over two decades. In those operations, many lives have been saved.
The unpredictable weather situations and climatic changes in the country
have caused many Ethiopians to face food deficits every year.
DESCRIPTION OF EMERGENCY SITUATION
General Background Information
The pre-harvest assessment conducted by over 20 teams in all the zones,
except Benishangul Gumuz, the eastern and southern pastoral areas,
confirmed the current season's agricultural production to be much better
than last year and comparable to the five-year average. However,
production is reported to be below average in lowland areas of Amaro,
SNNPR, eastern Oromiya Region (East and West Hararghe) low-land areas of
North Wollo, South Wollo, Wag Hamera, North Gondor. According to the
report, a similar shift occurred in low areas of Oromiya region, where the
production prospect remains lower than the long-term average. The report
further explains that this shift has a significant impact on overall
production, as long -cycle crops normally account for 40% of national
production. Although the underlying causes in most cases are chronic or
structural, localized acute problems that have further contributed to
production losses include the following:
Erratic and low rainfall particularly in lowland areas.
Loss of livestock in previous years due to recurrent drought
Livestock diseases
Flash floods, heavy rainfall water logging, hailstorms and land slides
Low level of farming input supply
Problem of traction power
Failure of coffee production and coffee price
Malaria outbreak
The regeneration of pasture for cattle and sheep has improved the physical
condition of the livestock that survived the 2002 -2003 drought, but
reproduction and hence milk production remain at below normal levels
throughout Afar region. Although recovery from the 2002-2003 drought and
resulting massive livestock death is still underway, pockets of food
insecurity remain, as herds already by the 2002/3 droughts continue to
face precarious pasture and water conditions. Therefore, the recovery from
the crisis is far from assured. Pastoral areas of Somali Region, Lowland
Bale and Borena zones of Oromiya and South Omo Zone of SNNP Regions are
facing another potential crisis and an emergency condition is developing
in these areas.
Malaria remains the major threat to human health throughout the country,
especially in mid and low land areas. Incidence of malaria has even
extended to most of the highland and midland areas where it has not been
common before. Malaria can be expected to have an impact on harvesting and
on food security, especially if current outbreaks are not brought under
control. The current situation in the pastoral areas of Somali, lowland
Bale and Borena Zones of Oromiya and South Omo in SNNP regions is alarming
and beyond chronic crisis. In cropping areas, the magnitude of the current
shock, particularly the erratic rains that have affected long cycle crops
of maize and sorghum in lowland areas is severe, putting farmers in
difficult position to cope by themselves and without any other means. A
major humanitarian crisis is anticipated unless humanitarian assistance is
provided.
The Multi-agency pre-harvest assessment teams determined that a total of
7,181,400 people (about 10% of the total population) will need
humanitarian food assistance as of January 2004, while 2,187,600 will be
in need of close monitoring.
Out of a total of 300 woredas needing food assistance this year, 135 (45%)
has been under continuous emergency food assistance for the past 7 -10
consecutive years. As a result, out of the total population needing food
assistance, four to five million are expected to be chronically food
insecure while the balance are expected to be the unpredictable caseload.
The chronically food insecure are the most destitute and their lives and
livelihoods are at risk unless adequate and timely attention is given. The
Federal DPPC has announced in December that a disaster situation will
occur unless timely and adequate response is provided. The following table
presents the number of food needing people in each of the affected regions
of Ethiopia.

Per the Federal DPPC plan for 2004, relief requirement in 2004, due to
predictable and unpredictable causes are estimated at 964,690 MT,
consisting of 761,175 MT cereals 104, 561 MT blended food (famix) 76,117
MT pulses, and 22,837 MT oil.
GOAL & OBJECTIVES
Goal
The overall goal is to ensure an access to food for households as well as
to increase household capacity so as to consequently minimise
vulnerability to food insecurity.
Objectives
To prevent deterioration in the nutritional status and prevent famine in
the target groups. One of the objectives of the food distribution in the
target areas is to avoid deterioration in nutritional status, especially
among the most vulnerable groups, such as children of under 5 years,
women, and the elderly. The availability of food will also overcome the
deterioration of balance of trade between agriculturists and pastoralists,
which happens frequently during periods of food shortages/droughts. In
some areas the government has distributed food - only cereal, for the
month of September. However it was indicated that unless the government or
NGOs secure resources, it is unlikely to continue.
To prevent/stop abnormal migration of farmers in search of food.
Timely distribution of relief food is expected to prevent abnormal
migration. It is also hoped that by meeting the food need farmers will
stay in their village and continue their normal productive activities.
To minimise/reduce sale of assets by avoiding distress sale.
Sale of productive assets is one of the coping strategies that farmers or
agri-pastoralists adopt in times of disaster. Therefore the food
distribution programme is expected to minimise further depletion of
livestock and other productive assets.
To build community capacity through activities such as Employment
Generating Schemes/EGS. Linking relief with development is one of the
implementation modalities of the projects. The food distribution will be
on an EGS bases. This means that all able-bodied member of the beneficiary
household (in some areas all community members) will work in selected
public works in a given woreda (district). The activities will include,
water development, feeder road construction and maintenance etc. For
detail information refer annex 2 and 5. It is hoped that the EGS
activities will contribute to natural resource conservation and
development of the area.
To rehabilitate the chronically food insecure families through provision
of rehabilitation inputs.
Build capacity of the community through training and provision of
material, financial and technical support to avail pure supply of water
for people and animals consumption as much as possible.
The rehabilitation-input provision will enable households to increase
their food production in the subsequent seasons. Distributions of crop
seeds and farm tools are expected to contribute to the reduction of the
families' vulnerability. Some of these rehabilitation activities are
integrated with food distribution.
In general, the objectives of the proposed projects fully comply with
Federal and Regional food security policy, in particular the three pillars
of the national strategy (increase the availability of food through
increased domestic production, ensure access to food for food deficit
households, strengthen emergency response capabilities).
TARGETED BENEFICIARIES
In all woredas, there are committees for disaster prevention and
preparedness. The committees comprise members from government line
ministries and community members. The Peasant Association (PA) disaster
prevention and preparedness committees are composed of women, local elders
and members of the PA administration. These committees are responsible for
identifying targeted beneficiaries at peasant association level. Targeted
beneficiaries include the most food insecure members of a given peasant
association. Priority will be given to the most vulnerable groups such as
female headed households according to the criteria set by the community/
committee.
An estimated 20% percent of the target groups will benefit through
gratuitous food. The remaining 80% of the beneficiaries, depending on
their physical strength and nutritional status, will participate in EGS
and receive relief food. In addition, in most of the areas beneficiaries
will receive rehabilitation inputs such as seed, tools and others.
In many areas the number of beneficiaries identified as needing assistance
is much higher than the official figure which is used in this proposal.
The unmet needs are usually covered by the community social networking
system that ensures sharing of the available food resources. Therefore it
is expected that there are other indirect beneficiaries who will benefit
from these programmes.
The EGS activities planned are expected to benefit non-participant
beneficiaries through improvement of infrastructures. EGS activities are
also meant to improve and develop community assets. Therefore the
community in general will benefit from these projects indirectly. Criteria
utilised in beneficiary selection targeting in the proposed areas of
intervention is a mix of administrative and community targeting. For the
food aid the DPPC has, during the two crop assessments in
November/December 2003 and in August 2003, identified a certain number of
needy people in each district. This number can be found in the DPPC appeal
document, which was launched in December 2003. The local woreda (district)
council receives the information from the zonal administration or disaster
prevention and preparedness committee. Then each woreda estimates the need
in each peasant association and allocates a quota based on their field
assessment and information on the need. This number is later communicated
to the local officials. PA committees who then use different local
criteria to select each person qualified for food aid. This is done
through a careful and open process, in which the communities participate
and approve the final list, which is then sent back to the district
council1 It should be mentioned that there is a wide spread problem
regarding number of beneficiaries. In many distribution centres the
community redistribute food after the official distribution which means
the actual beneficiaries is higher than the DPPC figure
1.
PROPOSED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION
As indicated in earlier section, this appeal will have two main
components. It includes,
a) Provision of emergency relief food (grain and oil)
b) Provision of rehabilitation inputs (seeds and tools) as a component
within the food distribution program. The proposed activities on EGS basis
and the rehabilitation component of the program are targeted at improving
the capacity of the farmers and communities at large, to enable them to
cope with future vulnerabilities to food insecurity. The type and
quantities of the required for emergency food assistance by EECMY DASSC is
shown on Table I below. The type and quantities of items required for
rehabilitation are shown on Tables I, III, and IV.

Estimated costs of Food and Rehabilitation inputs
In the report of prospect in 2004, the DDPC indicated that many areas in
the country will have a surplus production in 2004. The surplus producing
areas are expected to bring their surplus product to cover most of their
needs other than food. Farmers in some places have already started to
supply maize to the market at reduced price. Local purchase of the food
requirement is encouraged by all actors of humanitarian aid in order to
stabilise the market and project the livelihood of the community.
In considering the local purchase, the following current market prices
have been taken into account:
1. Current Local prices of food grains per MT

Implementation description per activity
The EECMY DASSC and the church units' DASSC have many years of experience
implementing relief programmes. Eighty percent of beneficiaries will
participate in EGS activities, however, the actual number of beneficiaries
that can participate on EGS activities will depend on the capacity of the
woreda and local partners to plan and implement the programmes. In almost
all areas of the planned intervention, the EECMY has strong presence and
ongoing development programmes that can facilitate the smooth
implementation of this appeal.
It is expected that technical inputs for the distribution of the
rehabilitation component of this appeal will be provided from the ongoing
relief programme staff of the implementing EECMY units. However details
of EGS activities in all woredas will depend on the level of funding and a
detailed work plan will be made as soon as fund is secured and this
information will be given to local implementing partners and government
offices. All able-bodied beneficiaries will participate in the selected
activities of the EGS. A family, represented by one person, will work for
about 20 days to get the full monthly ration. EECMY DASSC, with the local
DPPC, will make EGS plans in such a way that will not interfere in normal
agricultural activities.
The remaining about twenty percent of the beneficiaries who are the most
vulnerable group will receive gratuitous relief. It is anticipated that
increased availability of food will increase the participation of the
community in the on going rehabilitation and development activities. The
implementation strategy for the agricultural input such as farm tools and
seed distribution for beneficiaries will be based on input for work
(experience from EECMY/LWF areas of operation). The beneficiaries for seed
and farm tools will be identified based on the set criteria from each
woreda. Then the rehabilitation input provided will be given a value,
based on the local market price. Instead of providing the input free, the
beneficiaries will work according to the value of the input they received.
The communities will also decide which type of work should be carried out.
This implementation strategy requires storage of food and non-food items
in the working areas. In areas where relief operations are going on, the
relief the existing storage facilities will be used to store the items.
Similarly, storage facilities will be ready both for the requested relief
food items and the rehabilitation requests.
The implementation of this programme will depend on the level of funding,
even though the communities for which we requested assistance remain
needy. It also requires a careful planning and co-ordination with
different stakeholders at local level. This will be done in close
co-operation and consultation with community leaders and different
government line ministries.
For each relief/EGS centre, a team will be employed who will be
responsible for good handling of the commodities, distribution of food and
selected agricultural inputs and keeping the records. One distribution
team will be put in each of the woredas. One distribution team consists of
one team leader, two distributors, one registrar, two guards and one
storekeeper (at each store). However the number of staff at distribution
centres may differ between areas, based on the local capacity to use the
already employed staff. Depending on the level of support with food aid,
the distribution teams will be assigned for the period of the activities
that the funding may decide. EGS supervisors will be employed or members
of the ongoing relief/ development programme will co-ordinate the
implementation of the EGS and input for work activities. Because of the
participatory approach the detailed plan of each activity2 The detail EGS
activities indicated on this proposal is based on partners' plan in
consultation with the woreda DPPC. 2 and accomplishment cannot be known
until the level of funding is identified.
For the ongoing relief food distributions, USAID will continue to provide
funds to cover the cost of the relief distribution operations until the
end of the current operations, June 30 or end of August. In this case, we
did not include fund for the relief distribution team in this appeal. The
proposed budget in this appeal therefore, included funds to cover expenses
for purchase, transport, and for distribution teams and other transport
needs. But budget has been requested for the woredas which we are not
currently operating relief work.
As soon as the relief inputs and budget are approved by the donors, the
EECMY DASSC will inform the church units to make all the necessary
preparations to undertake the operations. Provided with the necessary
resources, the church units are capable of undertaking and also
shouldering the over all responsibility of implementing the programs at
their local level. They will implement the programs according to the
principles adopted by the church for her development and social services.
These include participation of the beneficiaries, local government line
departments, local church units and other relevant bodies in decision
making processes and activities.
Locations for proposed response
The EECMY SEAW will implement the operations in the 4 woredas of Bale Zone
(Rayitu, Beltu, Sawena and Mada-Walabu), where as the implementing church
unit for Dale, Aleta Wando and Amaro will be EECMY-SCES. Operation areas
in Dahana woreda of Wagimira Zone of Amhara region will be implemented by
EEECMY -NCES, where as the one in Jeldu will be implemented by CES and the
one in Bako-Tibe will be implemented by CGS.
In December 2003, the Federal Disaster Prevention and Preparedness
Commission of Ethiopia/DPPC/, issued appeal of food need prospect for the
year 2004. Out of the enormous needy areas in the country, the EECMY
church units have accepted and endorsed the following priority areas.
Except the NCES-EECMY areas of the following list, the EECMY has been
operating relief works in all of these areas during the year 2003 and is
still operating relief with the resources from USAID through Catholic
Relief Secretariat.
SEAW-EECMY Oromiya Bale Zone, Raiytu, Beltu, Sawena, and Mada-
Walabu woredas
NCES-EECMY Afar Zone 1, Mille and Chifira woredas
NCES-EECMY Amhara Wag-Himra zone, Dahena woreda
SCES-EECMY SNNPR Sidasma zone, Aleata Wando and Dale, and Amaro
especial woreda
In this appeal emergency relief food is requested for the following
woredas through the following church units:
CGS CGS-EECMY Oromiya West Showa zone, Bako-Tibe, Mida
Kegn woredas
CES-EECMY Oromiya West Showa zone, Jeldu woreda
EECMY Operation Areas Region by Region
Oromiya Region
>From among the zones of Oromiya regional government, the EECMY DASSC is
currently operating relief works only in Bale zone. The relief currently
under operation is in four woredas; Sawena, Beltu, Rayitu and Meda
Walabu. The relief food distribution resource for the current operation
is approved up to June 2004, and may be extended through August.
The new request for food distribution in Oromiya West Showa zone is from
Central Ghibe for Bako Tibe and Mida kegn woredas and from Central
Ethiopia Synods for Jaldu woreda to start operation. Therefore, in this
appeal, there are seven woredas of Oromiya region.
Bale Zone
According to the appeal of Disaster Prevention and Preparedness
Commission/DPPC/ of the government due to failure of the belg and Meher
rains, major harvest reduction and failure were observed. According to
this appeal there are a total of 107,800 needy people in Sawena, Beltu,
Rayitu woredas of Bale zone in Oromiya region as of the beginning of the
year 2004. The populations that needed immediate support are: Rayitu
29,500 people, Sawena 32,800 people, Beltu 30,500 people and 15,000 people
in Medawalabu. For these populations, distribution of food is secured from
USAID through CRS, and now we are requesting for rehabilitation inputs
only. The food support has been secured up to end of June 2004, and may be
extended through August.
Sawena, Beltu and Rayitu woredas are located at about 610km. 660km and
585km southeast of Addis Ababa respectively, and are located in low-land
Bale Zone of Oromiya Regional state. In all these woredas, the
infrastructure and basic service delivery are extremely poor. According to
the 2002 census, 58,463, 44,560 and 36,194 people live in Sawena, Beltu
and Rayitu woredas respectively. The livelihood in the three woredas is
dependent on livestock. The main herd constitutes camel, Cattle, goats,
sheep and donkeys. All the woredas have similar bimodal rainfall patterns.
The main (meher) rain season called "Genna" in Swwena, and Beltu fall
between March-May, while the short season called "Hagaya" fall between
October/November. In Rayitu, the main rainy (Meher) season "Genna" falls
between September to October/November, while the short rain (Belg) locally
called "Arfasa" fall between March to end of May. Over the last 8 years,
rainfall in these woredas has been erratic. As a result, water and pasture
are in short supply. Reports from the woredas reveal that large number of
livestock decreased either through death, mainly due to lack of pasture
and water, or sale to meet the daily food need of the families. During the
rainy season in the year 2003, the onset of short rain (belg) for these
woredas was very late by 4 -6 weeks and insufficient. Due to poor
performance of the rains, areas covered by crops were reduced resulting in
the harvest failure. All these factors are the major causes that led to
the anticipation of localized food shortage among the people of these
woredas. The fear of the drought has already tempted many farmers to sell
their livestock already at low prices. As in the previous years, lack of
own food is the major problem to be addressed. The deficit has to be
filled by relief/EGS food expected from donors or the government.
Mada Walabu woreda -This is one of the 18 woredas of Bale zone. Per DDPB,
2001 the total population of the woreda is 77, 638 people. Most of the
inhabitants are Oromo. There are some Somali in the areas adjacent to
Somali region. Majority of the population is Agro-pastoral, earning their
living mainly from livestock production and some crop husbandry. The major
part of the woreda is located in the low-land while some part of it is in
the medium altitude. The main rainy season in Meda walabu woreda is
between March to May (Haggaya) and the smaller rainy season is between
October and November (Genna). As a result of low and erratic rainfall,
crop performance is very poor and loss of crops and pasture was
substantial.. Lack of infrastructure, remoteness, shortage of rain,
diseases etc hamper the rural economy. Depletion of Assets has reduced the
purchasing power of the community and the death of cattle has caused
shortage of oxen for land preparation as well as reduced milk supplies. As
in the other similar woredas of Bale, the root cause for poor performance,
crop, water and livestock conditions is the failure of the rains. The
shortage of pasture and water is mainly due to poor performance of the
rains. Most of households have no food of their own except the
distribution of relief/EGS. The magnitude of the problem has increased
over the last 5 years. As in the previous years, Mada Walabu remains food
insecure area in 2004. Among the local inhabitants of the woreda, 15,000
people are in need of food aid in 2004.
West Showa zone
Bako Tibe, Mida Kegn and Jeldu woredas
These target areas are located in the western Shewa administrative zone of
Oromiya. Onset of the short rains (Belg) which normally starts in the 2nd
half of March was late in almost all parts of these woredas. Besides late
coming, the distribution was irregularly characterized by long dry spells.
In a similar manner, the Meher rain expected to start in fist week of May
came late in mid June, which was very late for early crops like sorghum
and Maize. Later on hailstorm, heavy rains, and floods damaged crops in
many Peasant Associations/PAs/ of these Areas.The main rains also ceased
very early in many parts of these areas. Significant production loss was
observed due to the following reasons.
Late coming, Erratic and low amount of rainfall particularly in lowland
areas.
Loss of oxen and other livestock in previous years due to recurrent
drought
Chronic Livestock disease/Trypanosomiasis
Flash floods, heavy rainfall, water logging & hailstorms
Low level of farming input due to high price
Lack of enough farm hand tools and seeds
Malaria outbreak
All these causes led to harvest shortfall and left many of the farmers at
a level where they can not even feed themselves. The shortage of food is
mainly observed among the dwellers in low-land areas of these woredas.
According to the pre -harvest assessment made in August and October 2003,
the following will remain needy of food assistances in 2004.
Bako Tibe 58,800 people
Mida Kegn 18,900 people
Jeldu 36,000 people
Total 113,700 people
Beside the relief /EGS food support, these areas are also in need of
rehabilitation inputs such as seeds and farm hand tools.
Regarding the livestock disease, PAs in the low-land areas of these
woredas are repeatedly asking for construction of Veterinary health posts
and supply of drugs to combat the deadly disease -Trypanosomiasis and
other seasonal outbreaks.
Malaria epidemic outbreak was observed in all these waredas and supply of
drugs to local near by government health posts is requested.
Supply of pure water for human consumption is scarce in Bako-Tibe and Mida
-kegn waredas. Protection of some of the springs for human and animals
must be considered for the timely alleviation of water problem.
Operations in Affar Region
Chifra and Mille woredas of Afar Region
Afar region is situated in the north eastern part of Ethiopia. It is
divided into 5 different zones. Afar is located in the great east African
rift valley, which is entirely low-land, inhabited by pastoralists. Again
the region is experiencing drought. Normally the Karma (Meher) rainfall
occurs from mid or late June to mid September. This year the onset of the
Karma rain was reported to be in mid July, late by about two to four
weeks, depending on the area. It stopped by the end of August, two weeks
earlier than normal. Generally good rains were received by most woredas
during the month of August. Amount of distribution of rainfall were good
except in some pocket low-land areas, like Dallol, Berahle and parts of
Afder and Afdera and Erebti of Zone 2. Chifra and Dubti of Zone 1, and
Arthuma and Dewe of Zone 5 report that the rain distribution was erratic
and sometimes insufficient in amount. Further more below normal rains were
received in Gewane and Buremudaitu (Zone 3) where it rained for only five
to seven days during the entire season.In general, the Karma rains were
better this year than the last 3 -4 years both in amount and distribution.
Even so, the situation this year is somewhat below normal, and the region
is not still recovering from the disasters of the previous year's drought.
In the two woredas (districts), Chifra and Mille of zone 1, EECMY/LWF Soil
and Water Project (SWCP) is currently constructing and operating a
small-scale river diversion and irrigation scheme. In these areas the
water points have dried up while pasture is seriously scarce. The water
levels in the perennial rivers like Mille are very low and many livestock
have died - about 50 percent livestock death was reported. A lot have
migrated to the nearby intermediate high-land Amhara and Tigray regions in
search of pasture and water. The rest are physically weak (weight loss) in
bad shape and cannot give birth to calves and produce milk before one
year. In addition to the water and pasture shortages, serious livestock
diseases have been reported from all areas.
The implementation modality of the EEECMY/LWF Soil and water conservation
project/ SWCP/ is food-for-work. Relief food, which will be distributed
through Employment Generation Scheme/EGS/, can be used to expand and
strengthen the SWCP activities and ensure that the communities can
effectively utilise the irrigation schemes and other infrastructures.
Beneficiaries:
Chifra 19,500 people
Mile 20,200 people
Total 39,700 people
In a similar manner with that of the situation in Bale zone of Oromiya
region, relief food distribution is being carried out in these woredas by
the ECMY/LWF using the resources from the USAID through CRS. Food is
secured for these woredas up to the end of June and may be extended
through August 2004.
Operations in SNNPR region
Amaro Special woreda, in SNNPR
Amaro is located about 485 km south of Addis Ababa. The inhabitants of
Amaro special woreda are subsistence farmers. Main crops produced for food
in the woreda are mainly maize, wheat, teff, barley, haricot bean, pea,
bean, vegetable crops, etc. Enset (ensete vetricossa Banana), chat (a
catha edulis stimulant) and coffee are also the popular perennials
produced for food and cash. The farmers also rear animals like cattle,
sheep, goats etc. There are two cropping seasons in the area; belg rain
from September to November and the Meher rain from February to May. The
belg rains are mainly used for land preparation (for coffee) and planting
of long cycle crops such as maize and sorghum. The Meher rains are used
for planting crops like barley, teff, wheat, bean, pea, haricot bean, and
vegetable crops. Besides, Meher rains are also important for the growth
and development of perennial crops such as enset, coffee and chat.
According to the December DPPC Early Warning System report, onset of the
2003 Belg rains was reported to be late in the region and in the special
woreda. A wide spread dry spell occurred at the growth stage especially on
the long cycle crops like maize. Adverse weather phenomena such as
excessive rain, hailstorms, flash floods, land slide and drainage problem
affected many of the region as well as the woreda. The prospective for
crop production in Amaro was also affected by severe dry spells that
occurred at growth and flowering stages of the crops. Late on- set of rain
and intermittent dry spells affected land preparation in many areas of
Amaro and parts of Gamo - Gofa. As a result, a major crop yield failure
expected due to early rains cessation. A dry spell and moisture stress at
growth and flowering stage caused high yield loss in maize. Also due to
erratic distribution of Meher rain, enormous loss of harvest is expected
both in high & lowland areas. Thus, the production performance was and is
still low in the woreda. The production prospect would have been better
had there not been shortage of agricultural inputs, particularly
fertilisers and improved seeds when it started raining. Farmers could not
get inputs on credit due to previous years' unsettled debts.
Pasture and water availability have improved in most areas. Over all
livestock condition is good. However, epidemic of lump skin diseases
(cattle) and African-horse sickness (in equines) have had sever
consequences in livestock in many woredas of SNNPR including Amaro
Diseases in sheep and goats were prevailing in Amaro, Burji, Konso and
Darashe special woredas. Increased prevalence of trypanosomiasis has been
noted in most low-land parts of the region. Incidences of regular diseases
such as anthrax, blackleg, pasteruelosis, and liverfluke/fasciola
particularly in Hadiya (Duna woreda) after feeding on a poisonous grass
called Brackenfem. Although detail information is yet unavailable for
south Omo, pasture and water shortages are likely, as is the case in
neighboring (Borena (Oromiya Region).Incidence of malaria has also caused
severe health problem in many areas.
Water and pasture shortage is prevailing even in the highlands. Perennial
rivers and springs are drying up even in the highlands. There was an
outbreak of malaria in the lowlands, which was later controlled. The
cumulative effects of unfavourable climatic conditions causing total
failure of crop harvest, a significant decrease in coffee price, and other
chronic problems (like land degradation, deforestation etc), have exposed
26,000 people to severe food shortages.
The planting period March - April, (belg), and harvest is in June/July,
when the weather is favourable. Therefore, the relief assistance (grain,
supplementary food & edible oil, seeds and farm hand tools should continue
up to the expected harvest time (June/July). EECMY/South Central Ethiopia
Synod (SCES), that is operating relief food distribution, has development
activities in the area such as; tree nurseries that provide seedlings to
farmers, spring protection/development, hand dug wells, health &
sanitation work etc. The beneficiaries, through the EGS, will be engaged
in ponds construction, construction of rural roads, reforestation
(preparing places for trees planting), clearing & developing/protecting
springs and hand-dug wells preparation.
Dale and Aleta Wondo woredas in Sidam zones of SNNPR
The woredas are among the ten woredas in Sidama Zone of SNNPR. Both Dale
and Aleta Wondo woredas are known for their diverse, intensive, and
well-established traditional agro- forestry systems in which a diversity
of perennial and annual crops are grown together. In both woredas, mixed
agriculture is practised. Major crops grown include enset, coffee, maize,
wheat, teff, barley, haricot bean, and chat. Enset is the main staple food
while coffee and chat are cash crops. There are two cropping seasons in
the areas, Belg & Meher. Belg rains (September to November) are mainly
used for land preparation and planting long cycle crops such as maize and
sorghum and seed bed preparation for Meher crops. The Meher rains (from
February to May) are used for planting of cereal crops like barley, teff,
wheat, and vegetable crops. Besides, Meher rains are also responsible for
the growth and development of perennial crops such as enset, coffee and
chat. Although, population pressure, land shortage and soil erosion are
the main problems, farmers used to be self-sufficient and food secure min
these woredas.
According to the December 2003 Regional assessment team report, the food
security situation in the area has deteriorated rapidly since the 1999
drought that struck most parts of the country. Following the poor harvest
of the same year, the drastic decline of coffee and animal prices and
incidences of hailstorms in some pocket areas in 2000 and 2001 further
deteriorated the situation. As per the August 2003 DPPC EWS reports, the
onset of Belg rains was reported to be late by 4-5 weeks. Its amount and
distribution was much below normal in the months of March and April.
Starting from end of April up to June a dry spell was reported in the
lowlands of the woreda.
In general, the performance of the 2003 Belg rain was very poor and much
below average from the previous two years, particularly in the lowlands.
Due to late on set of rains, planting time was delayed by about a month,
and the planted area much less than the previous year. Performance of
crop production, particularly in the lowlands, was severely affected by
weather adversities such as long dry spells and hailstorms. In addition to
weather adversities, pest infestation was another cause for production
loses. In the mid high-lands the production prospect would have been
better had there not been shortage of agricultural inputs, particularly
fertilisers and improved seeds. Reportedly farmers could not get inputs on
credit due to previous year's unsettled debts. Shortage of water and
pasture, particularly in the lowlands, as well as increased malnutrition
in lowland areas of Alata Wondo were also reported. Since April, the price
of grain has increased mainly due to the failure of belg crop production.
The cumulative effects of the chronic problems in the area plus the
current belg adversities have exposed 15,000 people in Alata Wondo to
relief food assistance. These people need relief food (grain, edible oil &
supplementary food) at least up to December 2004. It is very important to
consider the continuity of relief assistance up to the end of the year.
The farmers also require assorted seeds for the coming rainy season. As
EECMY/SCES has development activities like; spring protection/development,
hand-dug wells construction, education & health works, the beneficiaries
will be engaged in spring protection, construction of hand dug ponds and
wells, roads, farm-land preparation and etc on an EGS basis.
Operations in Amhara region
Wag Himera Zone, Dahana Woreda
Dahana woreda is known in general for it's chronic food insecurity,
degradation and remoteness. It is about 760 km north of Addis Ababa. The
road upto Sekota is an all weather road, while the last 70km road upto
Amdawork, the main town is very rough dry weather road. The woreda is
highly food insecure due to a variety of reasons including diminishing
landholdings and land productivity, a lack of productive assets and/or
house-holds has thus continued to rise in response to the above reasons.
The farmers in the area reported that fertility of the land has declined
alarmingly, the weather condition has not been stable and occurrences of
pests and livestock diseases have become more frequent and damaging the
farmers describe their situation with the following comments. "The land
and the crops have been in conflict. The land is tired of the people.
Because of the low agricultural produce the impact of the relief food on
the local market prices will mostly benefit the communities and keep them
from selling such as their livestock to cover their food needs'.
EECMY/LWF has for several years assisted the needy beneficiaries in this
chronically food insecure woreda, besides the relief operation, EECMY/LWF
in 2000 implemented pilot project the grey zone study', which attempted to
link relief with development through the provision of seeds and tools.
Support to water development and environmental protection training. In
this pilot project 5 spring development, two hand -dug wells, and 2 ponds
were constructed. Water developments like these are highly valued and
will be further expanded during this operation. EECMY/LWF in 2001
conducted a health and sanitation workshop, which was appreciated by the
participants from the woreda, the PAs and the farmers. It was recommended
to continue these workshops in other areas of the woreda as well.
LWF/EECMY in 2003 distributed food obtained from the donors based on EGS.
LWF/EECMY is applying for food to reach the people to meet their needs and
as a continuation to strengthen the already initiated EGS and
rehabilitation activities.
In the period from July to December each year more than 50% of the
population depends on food AID distributions. The total numbers of people
who need immediate assistance in Dahana woreda are 14,100 (DPPC/EWS
December 2003). Because of the severe nutritional status, supplementary
food including vegetable oil should be supplied for all beneficiaries.
ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING & REPORTING
Administration
The EECMY/DASSC and the local church units will have the responsibility of
implementing the programmes in their respective areas of operation.
EECMY/DASSC and units have the overall responsibility of implementing the
programme at local level. The respective church units implement the
programme and work in close consultation with the local community and the
government line ministries. In all woredas there are committees for
disaster prevention and preparedness, which are responsible for
beneficiaries' screening and overseeing the distributions.
The implementing EECMY units are also responsible for recruiting and
employment of local staff and making the necessary arrangement to ensure
storage availability. They also have the overall responsibility of
co-ordinating the programme implementation with local community, line
departments, local administration and other NGOs who are working in their
respective areas.
The Church units, in their respective areas of operation, have the
responsibility of preparing interim reports, narratives, financial and
final report at the end of the programme according to the ACT Guidelines.
All copies of the narrative reports will be sent to the EECMY central
co-ordination office. The EECMY -DASSC office will compile the narrative
and financial reports and forward it to ACT Co-ordinating office Geneva.
The overall programme coordination, with regard to information sharing and
reporting, will be the responsibility of the EECMY - DASSC Emergency
Relief and Preparedness co-ordination office at central level. The Church
units, EECMY/NCES, EECMY/SEAW, and EECMY/SCES, CES, and EECMY/CGS will be
responsible for the day-to-day implementation for the programmes at the
local level.
Finance
The fund for the purchase and transport of the commodities will be spent
at central DASSC level. The remaining fund for such as relief staff
salaries and benefits will be transferred to the implementing church
units. The disbursement of the fund will be monitored and supervised by
central DASSC Finance Coordination office. The financial report will be
compiled for the whole operations according to the ACT requirements and
submitted to the ACT Coordinating office in Geneva.
Based on the planned activities in each areas of intervention the
necessary resources financial and food or kind donations will be
transferred to implementing church units through central DASSC.
When the project is finalised, each implementing church unit will prepare
both narrative and final financial reports for submission to be
consolidated at central DASSC and to be submitted to ACT Geneva. All
accounts related to this ACT appeal will be audited by external Auditing
firm at the end of the operation.
Audit Firms of the Implementing Partners:
For EECMY central DASSC A.W. Thomas and his company, chartered
and certified accountant.

Monitoring
Monitoring of the programme will be done at three levels. The EECMY DASSC
Emergency Preparedness and Relief section and the implementing church
units' DASSC will conduct a regular monitoring of the programme
implementation.
The implementing church units DASSC and their relief program co-ordinators
(development and/ or rehabilitation) that are responsible for overall
implementation of the programme at regional and zonal level will do the
second level monitoring. The third level of monitoring will be done by the
relief distribution team leaders and EGS supervisors who will work at
woreda and peasant association level. They are also responsible for the
day to day implementation of the programme in close consultation and
co-operation with the community.

CO-ORDINATION
All relief, rehabilitation and development projects in Ethiopia need to be
co-ordinated and officially approved by the Disaster Prevention and
Preparedness Commission. The EECMY, as a member of ACT in its respective
areas of operation, has already been engaged in relief operation according
to the DPPC's appeal and approval. All the areas in which this appeal is
planned are on the list of the DPPC appeal. Once the funding level is
known, EECMY/DASSC and its units will contact the regional DPPB's for,
Amhara Oromiya, and SNNP regions.
At zonal and district level, the EECMY Church Units (Synods) with related
local bodies will co-ordinate the activities, with the zonal and woreda
authorities who will be involved in the planning and implementation of
proposed activities. The presence of the EECMY structure at the local
level will ensure the full participation of community leaders and line
departments. The EECMY units are all fully informed that this appeal is
submitted to ACT and response is awaited.
