Ethiopia Shelter Cluster Factsheet September 2013 Highlights 1

Ethiopia Shelter Cluster Factsheet September 2013 Highlights 1. Lack of adequate resources to pre-position Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items to ensure a timely response. However, there has been an interest from the donor community to consider pre-positioning for rapid response E. g. the Emergency Response Mechanism (ERM) initiative by ECHO. Higher consideration on pre-positioning for rapid response is key. 2. IOM is cluster lead for the Emergency Shelter & Non-Food Items Cluster. Key figures Total affected population: Cluster target population: Total houses destroyed: Total houses damaged: 9, 280 HH N/A units Funding needs (mio USD): 955, 840. 00 Funds Available (mio USD) 955, 840. 00 Cluster strategy and objectives ES/NFI Cluster: -Enhanced ES/NFI information sharing and coordination. -Contribute to the development of the national and regional preparedness and contingency plans. -Ensure the use of a ES/NFI standard kit by all cluster members throughout the country. -Improve the ES/NFI rapid response capacity Context and Response Emergency Shelters and Non-Food Items are an urgent need for communities forced into displacement due to natural disasters or conflict. Sudden onset natural disasters and internal conflict result in shelters being badly damaged or completely destroyed. Inter-clan or tribal conflict usually result in the loss of shelters and household items due to burning, looting and destruction. The natural or man-made disasters vary from region to region with the major cause for flooding being variance in topography and the main reason for conflict being a competition over scarce resources. A National Disaster Risk Management (DRM) policy is expected to be endorsed by the Government. The cluster in Ethiopia is known as the Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items cluster as the situation in the country does not involve planned camps. There is also no active shelter cluster for refugees in the country, making it difficult to obtain the longterm shelter figures for other organizations. Challenges. -Physical access to affected communities due to security restrictions and/or blocked access such as flooded roads. -Access to timely information on the facts and figures on the ground. -Lack of resources to respond in full to the ES/NFI response needs - donor funding shortages.
