Mer om insatsen
Den här insattsens övergripande mål är att förbättra motståndskraften (resilience) mot klimatchocker och främja självförsörjning bland utsatta grupper. Detta genom etablering av inkomstgenererande sysselsättning för specifikt flyktingar och världssamhällen, minska kostnaden för humanitärt bistånd över tid och binda samman humanitärt arbete och utvecklingsarbete. Målet är att genomföra detta med hållbara och innovativa lösningar. Det innovativa i sammanhanget är att låta en humanitär aktör som WFP (World Food Program, som har det dubbla mandatet att också arbeta med utveckling), sammarbeta med organisationer som är specialister på områdena jordbruk, sysselsättning, och marknadsanpassning. En stor del av insatsen kommer att rikta sig till människor i flyktingläger i södra Somali regionen, i Dollo Ado området. Det är områden som för närvarande mottar humanitärt bistånd, och insattsens mål är att lyfta dem till en situation som möjliggör hållbar utveckling. Insatsen kommer både att rikta sig till flyktingar och de som bor i mottagarsamhällena. Sysselsättnings-insatsen kommer bland annat att fokusera på tillgången till vatten och kunskap om förbättrat jordbruk genom konstbevattning. Tillgången till marknader kommer också att stärkas och utvecklas, samtidigt som människor ges tillgång till nödvändiga finansiella verktyg för att driva sin sysselsättning på ett hållbart sätt. Insattsen i Dollo Ado kommer att inledas med en grundlig utvärdering om vilka förutsättningar som finns för att etablera hållbara sysselsättningar från ett klimatvänligt och marknadsanpassat perspektiv. Dessutom kommer människors situation stärkas genom förbättrade varningssystem för annalkande torka och tillgång till innovativa försäkringssystem som både skyddar människors befintliga tillgångar och ger ersättning när torka förstör grödor och dödar boskap. En annan del av insatsen syftar till att stärka kapaciteten hos offentliga, nationella och lokala institutioner för att bättre stå emot återkommande torka och katastrofer. Det är framförallt den bristfälliga Etiopiska transportsektorn som skall stärkas genom att utbilda chaufförer och stärka kapacitet vid katastrofhantering.

The programme is implemented in two regions and 13 refugee camps. In Somali activities are carried out in 5 refugees camps in Dollo Ado and Bokolmayo woredas (Bokolmayo, Buramino, Hilawayn, Kobe and Melkadida), and in Gambella activities are carried out in 8 refugee camps and surrounding communities (Akula, Jewi, Kule, Ngyunyiel, Okugo, PugnidoI and II, Tierkidi). The programme was handed over in November 2019, just after the expansion of the programme to also include implementation in Gambella, made possible with funds from Embassy of Denmark. Though overall the handover report did establish that implementation was satisfactory, there were a number of weaknesses related to programme management, administration, and financial control, and that the programme team struggled to balance between humanitarian and development thinking, all of which took a lot of effort to address both during 2020 and 2021. Key achievements in 2020: A number of activities and results were achieved in 2020, though at a slower rate than planned. The main challenges that affected progress against planned targets were mainly: delay in signing agreement with ARRA (Authority for Refugee and Returnee Affairs), low capacity of cooperating partners to deliver against plans, security constraints, COVID-19 restrictions, and unrealistic targets set at proposal stage that was not revised following a baseline assessment. All 5 components of the programme have showed progress though, and some examples include: The livelihoods promotion component continued its activities in Somali region to improve food security, livelihood and economic and social cohesion for target communities, while the project officially launched in Gambella in March 2020. - In Gambella, to increase agricultural production and market systems, more than 45 cooperatives (animal fattening, fishery, milk processing, grain selling, etc.) were established and strengthened, 2 seed banks constructed, 8 fish marketing shops and 3 grain marketing shops started; Beneficiaries trained in agronomic practices and received agricultural inputs. The project also invested in improving off-farm employment through training, over 200 women were supported on various IGAs. - In Somali region, in order to increase crop and pastoral productivity: 60 hectares (ha) of land was developed using temporary irrigation arrangements, reaching 210 households; around 570 kg improved crop seeds provided to 120 households; agricultural and natural resource management cooperatives established to boost production; target households supported for better animal health services through market-driven approach; and access to livestock market facilities, feed and fodder was improved. As an example of the above-mentioned low progress, when comparing to the plan to establish 1,000 ha of irrigation land lined with concrete canals, only 60 ha of land was irrigated, and only with traditional earth canals, which are less efficient and require higher maintenance by farmers, since they are prone to bursting. The Satellite Index Insurance for Pastoralists (SIIPE) component, which is only active in Somali region, provided the satellite-based pasture-drought index insurance together with livelihood support for vulnerable pastoralists in the seven woredas, also complementing the Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) and drought resilience-building strategies. In partnership with Somali Regional Bureau of Agriculture and Natural Resource Development (BoANRD) and Bureau of Livestock and Pasture Development (BoLPD), livestock insurance policies were procured and helped 15,504 PSNP public work households. Bank accounts were opened for all beneficiaries, and they received orientation on livestock index insurance. For the component on Logistics Capacity Strengthening that ended in June 2020, achievements include the training of 1,800 commercial truck drivers on safe driving skills; development of training rooms and provision of five trainers for the Federal Transport Authority; and completion of a training impact assessment. As a summary, the programme showed a lot of progress in Gambella despite of various challenges in 2020. The market component in implementation in Somali showed real progress, though due to low capacity of cooperating partner for the construction components of the programme, this part showed very slow results, problems which continued throughout also 2021. Key achievements in 2021: The programme is in line with WFP Ethiopias Country Strategic Plan (CSP) 2020-2025, as well as with its Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience Building (CCARB) long term vision (2021-2025), and results from 2021 is reported also in light of the CCARB. The long-term vision on CCARB aims to reduce the sensitivity/and increase the coping/adaptive capacities of the most vulnerable and food insecure segments of society, including refugees and host communities hence contributing to the triple nexus in Ethiopia. During 2021, the programme supported 52, 000 households in total, including refugees and host communities with various risk management, climate change adaptation, financial services, livelihood, and early warning activities. Below are the details of these activities and achievements. Risk transfer. The SIIPE component is funded by the Governments of Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland, and provides beneficiaries in Somali region with satellite index-based insurance coverage. 28,298 PSNP households received access to satellite-based index insurance via Insurance for Work Scheme (IfW) in 11 drought-prone woredas in Somali region. Very noteworthy in 2021, is the successful support to vulnerable pastoralist in response to the severe drought in Somali. During 2021, USD 1,4 mln risk transfer premiums were paid to insure a total of USD 9,9 mln. Following the analysis and report from National Meteorology Agency of Ethiopia based on NDVI data analysis for October 2021, pay-outs were triggered for 24,966 HHs in ten woredas; the total amount of the triggered pay-outs is ETB 42,137,666 equivalent to USD 900,000. For 2,876 HHs this is going to be the second pay-out triggered in 2021 under the SIIPE programme. Risk reduction. 10,352 people have access to productive assets. 600 km of irrigation schemes were constructed, 832 ha of rangeland rehabilitated, 500 m of small dikes and 19 water ponds were created. Prudent risk taking and risk reserves. 148 Village Saving and Loan Associations (VSLAs) have been established in Somali and Gambella region. 196 VESA leaders were trained on financial and business management skills. In total, the individuals involved have saved ETB 6 mln. Social saving, done by the groups together, has reached ETB 1,422, 923. VSLAs have received technical support on financial literacy and management. Climate smart livelihood support progress. Livelihoods of 31,000 HHs improved through technical and inputs support on agricultural practices and natural resource management, diversification of agriculture production and off-farm opportunities through provision of resources for food processing, food storage and improved market access. 11 HHs were supported with meteorological services and 708 HHs were linked to veterinary and agro-input services while 400 HHs were reached by Social Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC). Early warning systems. WFP launched Forecast Based Financing (FbF) initiative, which resulted in developing the Standard Operating Protocol (SOP) jointly with partners and government stakeholders. Within the FBF initiative, Anticipatory Action (AA) Pilot has been tested in 2 woredas of Somali region. AA provided Early Warning messages to 10, 790 HHs through advisories/early warning committee. So far, 2,925 households have received cash equal to ETB 20,065,500. WFP continued to update the Livelihood Early Assessment and Protection (LEAP) tool for estimating crop yield. For a shock responsive PSNP 5, WFP has been engaged with National Disaster Risk Management Commission (NDRMC) in providing LEAP output as LEAP-Livelihood Impact Analysis Sheet (LEAP-LIAS) input for objective beneficiary estimation and providing technical support in development of interactive dashboard. Complaint and Feedback Mechanism. WFP trained partners and provided sensitization reaching 37 livelihood project sites. The partners set up 7 help desks in 7 locations and deployed 126 (46 F, 80 M) community-based outreach volunteers providing sensitization and forming part of the community-based protection mechanism. Key achievements of the whole project, reported in 2023 through the final report: - Overall, both quantitative and qualitative data confirm positive trends in food consumption. Respondents of focus group discussions held in July 2023 consistently reported that their food security improved since the project began, as has the diversity of their dietary habits. These trends are largely attributed to the transition towards increased agricultural productivity, and the introduction of diversified food options through seed distribution and increased incomes, which allowed for better food security and an improved diet. - Refugees and host populations have increased food production at community and household level through better agricultural and pastoral productivity. The project furthermore supported backyard gardening in refugee camps, with the aim to improve food security and dietary diversification at the individual household level. - WFP aims to gradually replace diesel powered irrigation with hybrid solar-powered systems in a bid to provide more environmentally and socio-economically sustainable solutions. Towards the end of the project, hybrid systems were operational at the Kobe (Maruqmaal), and Hilaweyn sites, while installation of the solar system at the Amino site remains pending. - Monitoring data collected by WFP in 2022, indicated substantial levels of production were being achieved with support from the project, citing 18,060 quintals of cereals, 1,620 quintals of vegetables, 100 quintals of perennial crops, and 155 quintals of pulses produced between January and June by the 381 households surveyed. - Beneficiaries were able to increase asset holdings and cover household needs. They reported having covered educational expenses for their children, supporting other family members, and contributing to festive events. As such, the project not only contributed to directly increasing the financial status of its direct beneficiaries, but also had indirect socioeconomic impacts on the broader community. - Towards the end of the project, a total of 28,000 pastoralist households (an estimated total of 141,485 direct and indirect beneficiaries) were covered under the SIIPE insurance scheme. - Beneficiaries fully adopted the mobile banking facility provided by the project. In 2018, a total of ETB 1 million was deposited and withdrawn, ETB 600,000 was exchanged amongst peers, and more than ETB 40,000 worth of mobile top up was made. This is a key success of the project, considering that most targeted pastoralists never had a bank account, nor did they have means to perform remote banking transactions or digitally transfer funds amongst each other. More specific examples: - To increase the potential for agricultural productivity, vulnerable people in the Buramino area were mobilised to form two cooperatives, which were named Tofik and Towakal. Each cooperative has 50 members, with equal membership of refugees and host communities. - The Wadajir Rural Savings and Credit Cooperative (RuSACCO) near Hilloweyn Camp, which harbours over 49,000 refugees, has been operating for two years with support from WFP. Wadajir means together in the Somali language. After merging four different VSLAs, the Wadajir RuSACCO is now made up of 43 members, of which 34 are women. Through Wadajir, the group has been able to take a collective loan of ETB 231,000 with each member receiving ETB 5,000 to invest in their micro- or smallscale enterprises. The Wadajir group members bring with them knowledge acquired from support they received in their different VSLAs. Financial literacy and business training was provided in collaboration with the Regional Cooperatives Promotion Agency (RCPA) on the principles of savings, bookkeeping, and business development and management, as well as technical assistance and support to run their enterprises. - In Nguenyyiel refugee camp (gambela), with support from Cooperating Partner ZOA and funding from Sida and Danida, an integrated cooperative hub was established comprising grain sellers, grinding mill services, a bakery and a milk processing shop, all located in a single site. The grinding mill group consist of 30 members, working in shifts to operate the mill for their community, charging ETB 3 for 1 kg of grain. On average, the group earns an income of ETB 1,500 per day. Additionally, they gather the leftovers from the grinding mill at the end of the day, which usually provides them an extra income of ETB 300. The members of the group received business training, as well as access to savings mechanisms. They set some of the savings aside in case of necessary reparations, while also prioritising pay-outs to group members. - By June 2023, a total of 11 hectares of land had been prepared for agricultural use, and 70 households were actively participating in the irrigation scheme, each tending to their own allotted plots of land. Members of the Wana-Kong Irrigation Users Cooperative planted and harvested tomatoes, peppers, onions and maize. - By June 2023, the project had provided support to seven cooperatives comprised of both refugee and host community members in and five small/medium scaled irrigation systems in Bokolmayo and Dollo Ado. - In total 13,656 beneficiary households received access to livestock health facilities through the purchase of veterinary drugs. - Six river diversions were constructed in four woredas (Bokolmayo, Dollo Ado, West Imey, and Kebredahar), resulting in the rehabilitation of 1,585 hectares of rangeland. - In Kebredahar, a birka was constructed with a capacity of 2,048 m3, while in Adadle an existing birka with a capacity of 800 m3 was rehabilitated. In total, 18 community hand-dug wells, 20 water harvesting schemes (medium size ponds) were developed, 120 birkas were rehabilitated, 10.5 km long stone bands, 25 hectares area closure, and weed cleaning was implemented through insurance for work activities. These works were estimated to contribute to a total capacity of 16,096 m3 water conservation for human and livestock consumption, directly benefitting 1,950 households. - Two beekeeping cooperatives (50 members in total) received training, legalization, and beekeeping tools (beehives and harvesting equipment). Four cooperatives (132 refugee and 199 host community households) received assistance in establishing agro-processing centres aimed at bringing services closer to the community while providing alternative income generating opportunities. Three cooperatives are successfully processing sesame oil, while one cooperative is processing tomatoes. - In 2022, nearly 100 metric tons of sesame produced by local farmers were sold to processing cooperatives supported by the project. The cooperatives processed 108,400 litres of sesame oil, which was sold in the local market for 450 ETB per litter, generating a total of ETB 48,780,000 in revenue. The cooperatives jointly reached a total of 9,430 clients. - A total of 105 Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) and 25 Rural Saving and Credit Cooperatives (RuSACCOs) were established, and their capacities strengthened. - Sites were selected to produce charcoal briquettes in the Hilloweyn, Melkadida, and Kobe camps. In total, 50 (10 male-headed, and 40 female-headed) refugee households received initial inputs (metallic gauges) and support to engage in the production of improved energy-efficient cook-stoves as well as charcoal briquettes. - Due to rainfall shortages, insurance pay-outs in two woredas (Adadle and West Imey) ranging from USD 20 to USD 195 per household. The average amount of pay-out was USD 82. In total 4,673 households received pay-outs. - Data collected from 22 households that received a heifer/cow in 2021, demonstrated an average of 3 to 3.5 litres of milk produced per day. Most beneficiaries reported that they were able to sell surplus milk. With an average of 1.5 litres of milk per day for ETB 50 to 55 per litre, this resulted in average earnings of around ETB 2,475 per month. The project provided a total of 1,620 dairy cows to 1,620 refugee households. Seven bulls were provided for breeding and work purposes, which are owned jointly by the community. In addition, 1,726 (66% female) households received 5 goats (4 does and 1 buck) each, as well as training and support to engage in goat rearing. Beneficiaries who participated in the projects goat rearing initiative also confirmed a positive change in the food security as well as dietary diversity of their family. Outcomes reported by WFP in its 2018-2023 final narrative report to Danida and Sida: Overall positive results: "With support from the project, marked progress was made towards increasing agricultural productivity, providing alternative income generating opportunities, and improving access to savings and loans mechanisms for beneficiaries in both Somali and Gambella regions. As evidenced by recent qualitative data collected in the Somali Region, these combined efforts translated into improved dietary diversity and food security, particularly for host communities, as well as for targeted households in refugee camps, albeit to a lesser extent." Lessons learnt on challenges: "A multitude of internal challenges hampered the effective delivery of the project, limiting WFPs ability to implement adaptive management and adjust its approaches to correct for the compound impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, protracted drought, and floods. As a result, the ultimate impact of the project on enabling self-reliance and resilience to climate change for the majority of targeted refugee and host community households was limited." Examples of results per region (2), components (5) and pillars (4): Somali Component 1: Sustainable livelihoods promotion for refugees and host-communities WFP's collected quantitative and qualitative data confirmed positive trends in food consumption among pastoralist communities supported by income generating activities (increased agricultural productivity, diversification of seeds and improved diet), while they used to be dependent on food aid. In January 2022, 67% of beneficiaries (refugee and host communities) reported using negative coping mechanisms in response to inadequate food consumption. By Feb. 2023, this had dropped to 19%. The improvement of the context (end of the 4 year drought, satisfactory rainfall) explains partly this, as communities remain vulnerable to shocks. Pillar 1: Improved food production through increased agricultural and pastoral productivity In Bolkomayo and Dollo Ado, WFP's partners Farm Africa and Mercy Corp supported 7 mixt cooperatives of refugees (from Somalia) and host communities (Somalis) with 5 solar-powered irrigation systems, replacing partly diesel powered pumps, while community members were supported for land clearing, construction of canals and crop production with seeds and tools, benefitting from demonstration fields and trainings. The figures of 2022 food production are impressive. Six rivers were diverted in 4 woredas and as a result 1,585 ha of rangeland were rehabilitated. 20 rainwater harvesting reservoirs and 120 traditional ponds were excavated, while 18 wells were dug, providing 16,096 m3 of water conservation capacity for human and animal consumption of 1,950 households. WFP reports that 13,656 households got access to WFP-supported veterinary services and husbandery training for production and fattening of goats, sheep, poultry, cows and camels, with improved access to fodder. Livestock keeping is a form of insurance. Pillar 2: Increased income and diversified livelihoods The project supported cooperatives for beekeeping, agro-processing of sesam oil, tomatoes. 100 MT of sesam were produced and 108,400 L of sesam oil could be sold at an average price of 450 ETB per litre, generating over 9 MSEK. WFP reports large production quantities of maize and watermelons in the project sites that brought an income to the refugee and house-communities' households that not only provided an alternative to humanitarian aid, but as well enabled investments in agriculture-based livelihoods and to pay education costs. However, they remained vulnerable to shocks, like floods, that destroyed the watermelon production partly. Pillar 3: Enhanced market access, social behaviour change and alternative energy value chain WFP reports that 105 Village Saving and Loans Associations (VSLA) and 25 Rural Saving and Credit Cooperatives were established. Beneficiaries were provided with information on market prices for livestock. They were trained in basic business, marketing, financial management and market-oriented production, in addition for support for increased and diversified crop production (maize, wheat, sesam, onions). A cooperative in Godbokol was however lured by middlemen who disappeared with 23,000 USD worth of maize. The project tested different models of improved-cooking stoves, then opted for a model that could be produced locally (Upesi) and produced charcoal briquettes. Social behaviour changes activites were delayed by Covid then focused on nutrition practices as from 2021. Pillar 4: Established enabling environment through stakeholder coordination, institutional arrangements and financial services WFP reports efforts to increase coordination and synergies with different stakeholders including local authorities, to advocate for allocation of land and to increase access to financial services. VSLAs with 2,128 members mobilised around 1.4 MSEK, while rural credit associations mobilised aroud 0.8 MSEK. Banking services were accessible, with the caveat that being 'haram' according to the Sharia law, they are not valued by beneficairies. Component 2: Climate risk management, satellite index insurance for pastoralists in Ethiopia By the end of the project 28,000 pastoralist households (over 145,000 persons) were covered under the Satellite Index Insurance for Pastoralists in Ethiopia (SIIPE) insurance scheme, with average pay outs of 82 USD per household when disaster stroke (floods), as it did for 4,673 households who got reimbursed for loss of livestocks. A working group for Livestock insurance in Somali was established, that was prologed by JICA-supported National Dialogue Platform for supporting agricultural insurance in Ethiopia, led by the Ministry of agriculture. Beneficiaries fully adopted the mobile banking facility provided by the project; WFP reports movements of money deposit, withdrawals and peer to peer exchanges amounting to 2 million ETB in 2018 only. Gambella Component 1: Sustainable livelihoods promotion for refugees and host-communities 8 refugee camps and host communities were targeted as from March 2020 until end of 2022: Akula, Jewi, Kule, Ngyunyiel, Okugo, Pugnido I & II and Terkidi in 4 woredas (Gog, Itang, Gambella Zuria and Dima) of Gambella region, targetting 35,000 refugee households from South Sudan mainly and 11,000 local community households. Inflation and food ration reductions hampered the project. WFP noticed a degradation of the food consumption during the project even among local communities. Benefits of the project were only for the direct beneficiaries, while WFP could not see a spillover effect on others. It even noticed movements back to South Sudan of those who were not part of the project due to severe food shortages, floods and even violence from host-communities towards refugees. Although fertile, the region is facing obstacles for practicing agriculture sucessfully: fragmentation, inefficiency, lack of seeds, pests, weak institutional framework. The report recognize that it could contribute to better social cohesion and conflict prevention. Pillar 1: Improved food production through increased agricultural and pastoral productivity 13,196 households were supported with inputs for crop and vegetable production, fishery, livestock, agro-vet services, fodder preparation and animal yard construction. A solar-powered irrigation system in Bonga substituted rainfed agriculture covering 11 ha, with a potential of 52 ha, benefitting 35 households and enabling year-round production, even during the dry season, which was hailed as a success story by the authorities. A tractor was shared among 780 households, but high fuel cost was a challenge. Back-yard gardening was extended in the refugee camps and cooking demonstrations. 1,620 dairy cows were provided to refugee households, producing from 3 to 3.5 L of milk a day, partly consumed and sold for an average monthly income of 2,475 ETB. 1,726 families received each 5 goats (4 goats, 1 buck), which improved their livelihoods and diet as well. Pillar 2: Increased income and diversified livelihoods The project established 2 seed bank, 8 fish shops, 3 grain shops, 45 cooperatives with 1,040 refugee and 750 host community households as members. Cooperatives and individuals supported by the project were engaged in a diversity of alternative income generating activities related to agricultural production, animal fattening and breeding, fisheries and dry fish trading, beekeeping and honey production, milk value chains, grain processing, and bread making, as well as tea and coffee shops, mini-restaurants, and petty trading. Those who had received a 3,000 ETB of seed capital were reporting a 2,000 ETB montly income by reproducing and selling them out. Supported grinding mills were generating 15,000 ETB each in average per month. Female-led petty trading micro-entreprises were supported, as well Mother-to-mother support groups, including business development skills and financial litteracy. WFP reports the success story of a mother of 3 children supported by loans establishing a sustainable and profitable hotel/restaurant. Pillar 3: Enhanced market access, social behaviour change and alternative energy value chain The project period was too short for achieving results. Production of more fuel-efficient kilns and improved cooking stoves in Gambella was abandoned by WFP. Pillar 4: Established enabling environment through stakeholder coordination, institutional arrangements and financial services WFP coud not confirmed whether 619 ha of farmland for the refugees could be secured. Land access is politized in the region (see Sida-fuded HOAREC project). 80 VSLA were established for 1,753 beneficiaries (70% female), saving a total of 303,000 SEK. Both regions Component 3: Complaint and feedback mechanisms A toll-free hotline, help desks and community outreach services were provided. In 2020, 97% of cases for that year were closed. Component 4: Early warning systems Capacity-buidling (training and equipment), risk assessments and analysis were completed in 50 woredas of Somali region and in southern Oromia by EDRMC supported by WFP. Early warning information messages were developed with focus on eight thematic areas and disseminated to targeted communities in Bokolomayo and Dollo Ado woredas during the Gu (March-April-May) 2021 season. The thematic areas covered were: 1) rainfall observations and forecast; 2) availability of fodder/pasture; 3) crop performance/yield; 4) price fluctuation of major commodities; 5) availability of water/status of major water sources; 6) human health; 7) animal health/death; and 8) flooding situation. Component 5: Logistics capacity strengthening was partly achieved although wothout concrete results captured in the report, consisting of assessments, analysis, road safety education for trucks and minibus drivers, training and operational capacity-building, fleet management, including preparedness and contingency planning.
The overall outcomes of the contribution are: - Improved Food and Nutrition Security of Refugees and Host communities in Dollo area, and since January 2020 also Gambella region. - Improved Resilience Capacity of Government of Ethiopia (GoE) to respond to climate change related risks. - Enhanced resilience to climate shocks and improved self-reliance amongst vulnerable groups. The specific components and outcomes of each component are: 1. Livelihood Promotion and Resilience Building in Dolo Ado for refugee and host communities: - Reduce risk and enable people, communities and countries to meet their own food and nutrition needs. Reduced need for humanitarian relief amongst beneficiaries. 2. Satellite Index Insurance for Pastoralists in Ethiopia (SIIPE): - Increased climate resilience for small-holder farmers and pastoralists through access to appropriate micro- insurance products. 3. Complaints and Feedback Mechanism (CFM): - cuts across other project components, aims to give beneficiaries and other community members avenues for accessing information and providing feedback about WFP's activities, and raising issues of concern in a safe and confidential manner. 4. Improved Early Warning, Surveillance and Feedback Mechanisms: - Enhanced capacity of early warning (regular monitoring) information systems, through the introduction of technology-based monitoring tools, especially designed to collect and visualize food security related information in real-time and established channels to collect community level information about impending shocks. 5. Road Transport Capacity Building: - Save lives and protect livelihoods in emergencies - Enhanced capacities of public- and private-sector institutions and systems, including local responders, to identify, target and assist food insecure and nutritionally vulnerable populations. - Enhanced skills of government and humanitarian response organizations to respond timely and efficiently to regional emergency.
