22 2 Existing Needs Assessment Process A) Food In Ethiopia, the humanitarian requirements are established based on the joint assessments led by the DPPA. 2.1 The Early Warning Working Group (EWWG), Composed of members from DPPA, MoARD, MoH, NMSA, EMA, EU, USAID/FEWS Net,WFP, UNICEF, FAO, UNOCHA, CIDA, CRDA, ERCS, and NGOs. 22

23 2.2 Partners in the assessment include representatives from: Concerned line ministries (MoH, NMSA, MoARD, FSCB, EMA) Donors, UN agencies NGOs Concerned regional bureaus, zonal and wereda offices 23

24 2.3 Responsibilities of The EWWG: Regularly monitors Belg and Meher seasons Identifies existing problems at the end of each season. Decides time for the assessment Devises assessment methodology Briefs assessment teams on the methodology before dispatching Participates in the debriefing program upon completion of the assessment Participates compilation and consolidation of the assessment report. 24

25 2.4 Responsibilities of The EW Department of the DPPA As a chair of EWWG: Invites partners to participate and coordinates logistics Communicates with regions and advises to be prepared Dispatches teams to regions Chairs the debriefing meeting of the findings Compiles and analyses the results 25

26 2.5 Duties and Responsibilities of Assessment teams Provide briefings at regional and lower (zonal, wereda) levels Review the existing regional/zonal data Identify priority zones/weredas in consultation with and agreement of regional/zonal authorities Give briefing on the methodology to participants joining from regions/zones/weredas Go to priority zones/weredas Visit randomly selected sample HH Interview sample farmers/pastoralists Conduct field observation on crop/livestock performance Visit markets to observe prices 26

27 Upon Completion: Establish and agree on beneficiary figures at wereda level Areas of difference are referred to zonal level Similar discussions take place at regional level Debriefing sessions are arranged at federal level to compile information from different regions and to consolidate a national beneficiary figure and establish humanitarian requirement. 27

28 FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR NEEDS ASSESSMENT Needs assessments in the future will be based on Livelihood Approach, a Project financed by USAID. This Approach is believed to help overcome the problems related to better estimation of needs. 28

29 B) Non-food Despite some progress, there are still considerable number of limitations in the process of establishing transparent and need-based non-food requirements. Continued efforts in the development and strengthening of more realistic methodology is critical. 29
