1. Building Resilience in Ethiopia EU strategy from 2013 and beyond EU Resilience workshop 26 – 27 June 2014

2. 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

3. Evolution of EU Strategy (ECHO and DEVCO) FROM (ECHO)TO (ECHO and DEVCO) Nutrition centredMulti-sectoral with nutrition and food security as entry point Nutrition sensitive and specific Often short termMiddle to long term commitment Mostly on curative sideCurative and preventive Pure humanitarianHumanitarian and development integration Often installing parallel systems Working in isolation Interaction with GOE woredas/zones/regional or federal level Stop and goStay and get ready for next drought Note that the long term aspects are more concerning the Development side of the EU than ECHO.

4. 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 DRM Preparedness to shocks 4 basic cornerstones

5. Basic Resilience Building Model (humanitarian and dev) Improved basic Services: nutrition, health, WASH, education Livelihoods support (AGR and livestock) but also diversification of livelihoods Safety nets for most chronically vulnerable groups DRM Preparedness to shocks 4 basic cornerstones Aspects of Climate change NRM SLM Social protection DEV more long term vision and involvement, system approach, policy work

6. Crucial Elements to keep in mind Meaningful operational coordination in geographic clusters Consortium of partners offering an integrated approach across sectors Strong local ownership and leadership, on national, 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

7. Basic Resilience Building Model – Policy Environment Improved basic Services: nutrition, health, WASH, education Livelihoods support (AGR and livestock) but also diversification of livelihoods Safety nets for most chronically vulnerable groups e.g. PSNP DRM Preparedness to shocks CPP, IGAD GTP NNP SP policy CRGE DRM policy 4 basic cornerstones Aspects of Climate change NRM SLM Social protection

8. 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)

9. Drought Hazard Frequency (1974 – 2007)

10. Situation and context analysis Livelihood and wealth profiling analysis Joint Risk analysis Mapping existing operations and Gap analysis GOE policies, programmes and activities Joint Strategy 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 Cluster programme design process What is the situation? What do you want to do? How will you go about it? Cluster guide for all partners working in the cluster

13. 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
