Support to the Humanitarian Response Fund (HRF) in Ethiopia
The Humanitarian Response Fund (HRF) managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) provides flexible funding for life-saving interventions in Ethiopia. Due to consecutive failure of rainfall amplified by the El Nino phenomenon, the continued influx of refugees as well as sporadic disease outbreaks, Ethiopia is currently facing a serious humanitarian crisis. Switzerland's contribution to the HRF allows for a rapide, flexible, coordinated and needs-based humanitarian response.

Contexte |
In 2015, Ethiopia saw a significant increase of the number of persons in need of relief assistance, from 2.9 million at the beginning of 2015 to 10.2 million 1 at the beginning of 2016 due to the failure of rains and resulting drought amplified by the El Nino phenomenon. According to the 2016 Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD), an estimated 10.2 million people will require food assistance in addition to the 7.9 million food insecure people targeted by the Productive Safety Net Program of the Government. Overall, the gross emergency food and non-food requirement for 2016 stands at USD 1.4 billion, currently only 46 % funded. In this context, the HRF aims to provide prioritized support to the underfunded humanitarian needs identified by the HRD and to complement other emergency responses. |
