El Niño-Driven Nutrition Emergency in Ethiopia
As of 8 September 2016
KEY UPDATES
• UNICEF and WFP carried
out a review of joint
emergency nutrition
response plan on August
16-17, identifying
achievements and
bottlenecks for future
action.
• Joint review was followed
by visit of Regional
Directors of two Agencies
who visited Afar to assess
the joint response
advocate for further
support.
• IYCF-E trainings under
roll-out in all regions
except Amhara.
• Quarter 3 SAM supplies
have been distributed to
regional/zonal level
CHALLENGES
• In July, 89% of the
559,756 targeted
beneficiaries for MAM
treatment received
specialized food. However,
in August only 33 % of
MAM cases have been
reached due to delay in
delivery.
• Risks of flooding due to
heavy rainfall remain in
parts of the country. GoE’s
Flood Contingency Plan
estimates one million at
risk of flooding in 2016.
