- Description
- The purpose of this contract is to support the Ethiopian Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Agency (DPPA) through its Emergency Preparedness Strengthening Program (EPSP). The overall goal of EPSP is to improve the DPPA?s capacity to manage through shocks. Specifically, one of the systemic changes it hopes to bring about is to enable DPPA and its partners to better understand livelihoods and coping strategies of populations vulnerable to food insecurity, and so be better equipped to anticipate shocks that risk lives and livelihoods through improved early warning. The Ethiopian Early Warning System (EWS) has several components including: a) regular monitoring which mainly focuses on information gathering that mainly includes indicators such as climatic data, crop production, markets and prices, livestock production, other sources of income such as wage labor, petty trade, petty commodity production, remittances, wild fruit collection etc, human health, malnutrition, coping mechanisms, food stress or famine indicators; b) disaster area assessments, mainly focusing on rapid-onset disasters; c) rapid health and nutrition assessments; d) intermittent nutritional surveillance; and e) annual multi-agency emergency need assessments.
