The document discusses disaster risk management (DRM) in Ethiopia, outlining the country's DRM framework and challenges. It describes Ethiopia's transition from disaster response to proactive DRM. Key points include Ethiopia's vulnerabilities to drought and flooding, its national DRM policy and strategic program, mainstreaming DRM into development plans, and the use of early warning tools and monitoring for disaster prevention. Main challenges are a lack of skilled personnel, low capacity, and differing levels of DRM understanding.

Chapter six DRM practice in Ethiopia and its challenge By Mihret w. Jan, 2023
Presentation outline  Introduction  DRM Framework in Ethiopia  DRM Program Framework  CCA and DRM Mainstreaming  DRM Integration Information and EWS  EW tools and regular monitoring  Main Challenges in our DRM system
Introduction  Ethiopia is still highly vulnerable to a wide range of CC induced natural as well as man-made disasters  Drought remains the country’s leading major hazard while flood is the second major hazard next to drought  Recently, Climate Change and associated risks are and will continue to affect the economy in general and agriculture and Food Security in particular
Conti… Ethiopian Disaster Management system is transforming from : Disaster Response to Disaster Risk Management (prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery & rehabilitation)
Institutional Set-Up  Pre BPR period: crisis management focused ●Pre-1973: no organized DM system, ad-hoc response to crises ●1973: Relief & Rehabilitation Commission (RRC) ●1995: Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Commission (DPPC) ●2004: Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Agency (DPPA) ●2006-07: Business Process Reengineering (BPR)  Post BPR period: Risk management focused ●2008: Disaster Risk Management and Food Security Sector (DRMFSS)
Policy Perspectives ● Currently, the National DRM Policy being endorsed by the council of Ministers and the legal issues are on-going.  DRM Strategic Program and Investment Framework.  Climate affects multiple sectors including agriculture, food security, water resources, health and land use.  Climatic variability triggers crop failures, food insecurity, malaria epidemics, and shortages in hydro-power and irrigation.  These types of impacts affect the ability of developing countries to achieve Millennium Development Goals related to poverty, hunger and human health.
Conti…  Managing the risk associated with climate variability is integral to a comprehensive strategy for adapting agriculture and food systems to a changing climate.
DRM Framework in Ethiopia  National Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction  Five objectives linked to the globally agreed Hyogo framework for action (HFA) ● Strengthen national disaster risk management strategies and institutions ● Ensure risk and vulnerability assessments, early warning and contingency planning and financing- in both rural and urban areas ● Increase and sustain awareness creation, education and capacity building ● Reduce underlying risk and vulnerability (and integrate DRR into sector planning and practices for example in water, health, environment…etc) ● Improve emergency preparedness and response through capacity strengthening
DRM PROGRAMME FW  Dividing along six components in to three phases and one enabling environment: a) Pre-Disaster Phase 1. Prevention 2. Preparedness 3. Mitigation b) Disaster Phase  4. Response  a)Post-Disaster Phase  5. Recovery and Rehabilitation  a)Enabling Environment  6. Institutional Strengthening
Ethiopian DRM program FW
DRM mainstreaming  Roadmap for mainstreaming DRR in different sector plans and programs  Integration of DRR in development plans and land use and physical plans at regional, city, and woreda levels  Integration of DRR in zoning laws and building regulations and codes at federal, city, and regional levels
 Increased adoption and mitigation measures as CC adaptation initiatives  Integration of DRM and CCA coordination mechanisms  Climate change financing facilities Sustainable land management Environmental management CCA and DRM integration
Information EWS  EWS is part of the development undertaking of any country & as such should be incorporated in all sector activities to collect information. Information must be collected:- ❖ Prior to the incident: Information about impending drought or deteriorating health conditions or structural weaknesses of dams before the impact takes place. ❖ Current situation: as the impact is taking place (e.g. Weather information, water & pasture availability, levels of rivers and dams), ❖ After the incident: information after the incident should be gathered to assess the damage and the needs for response
Conti…  Major components of Early Warning:-  Monitoring (monitoring indicators relevant to agriculture, health, water, Education, conflict, etc.);  Warning (Warning of the threat of disaster ahead of time); and  Triggering Timely and Appropriate Response (food and non-food assistance, etc…)
Early warning tools and regular monitoring Data collection •Monitoring data is collected from different weredas on weekly and monthly basis. •Weather information from National Metereological Services Agency. •Different relevant data from UN agencies, NGOs and Other relevant agencies
Conti…  Different tools of Early Warning  Different Early Warning tools are currently in use to monitors indicators relevant to food and non-food components, analyse data and provide warning about impending disasters.  Main tools of EW:- ✓monitoring checklists ✓regular early warning reports ✓Satellite-based weather monitoring tool Livelihoods, Early Assessment and Protection (LEAP) System one of major tools to trigger risk financing mechanism
Main Challenges in our DRM system  As DRM is a new direction in Ethiopia there is a scarcity of skilled man power to implement the system in a proper manner.  Low level capacity in terms of material resource Staff turnover  Lack of awareness, how to interpret weather/climate information at all level.  Lack of clarity of weather/climate information from the provider side  Different level of understanding about DRM at all level
