4.3 Response to the Crisis In recognition of the relief needs of the population of the area, the ERCS and DPPC are distributing regular monthly rations to the selected 34,125 beneficiaries. The selected beneficiaries are reported to have been receiving 12.5 kg per head. Only 4 members in a selected household are eligible to receive the dry free ration. ERCS distributes general dry ration to 7 (2 urban and 5 rural) Kebeles and the rest are covered by the Federal DPPC. 5. Recommendations Future Actions 5.1 Strengthening of the ERCS Sub-Branch Offices in Kibre Mengist and Shakiso should be an immediate priority. Establishment of related logistics like warehouses (central and satellite), transport means, etc., is essential. 5.2 Sensitisation of policy makers at the Woreda, Zone and Regional levels and with all those concerned with the welfare of the affected population should be the priority task of the ERCS. The ERCS should strongly advocate for adequate food aid and inputs in health (including essential drugs) and water sectors development. 5.3 Increase the number of members and Youth Club members. Launch training programs to the Youth Club members about the activities of the ERCS including food, nutrition, health and the benefits of wildlife for the community (humanity) and the nation as a whole. 5.4 The Kibre Mengist Sub-Branch Office in collaboration with the local health institutions, the Woreda Council, and the Woreda Agricultural Offices should closely monitor the nutritional and health situations. Follow-up nutritional surveys (at least with smaller samples) should be conducted every six months. 12
5.5 Maize grain should constitute a priority grain for general dry ration distribution and the volume of shipment should be increased for involvement of the population in food-for-work development activities. Sorghum should be additional alternative grain for general distribution (free and development). 5.6 The agriculture based development strategy of the country emphasises on the development of the agricultural sector through the increased utilisation of improved seeds, fertilisers, improved agricultural technologies, farmers access to credit, training, information and extension services. Free or subsidised (plus credit) distribution of early- maturing crop seeds and introduction of root crops be encouraged. The ERCS, in collaboration with the Woreda Council and Woreda Agriculture Office, should look for the sources of these inputs. 5.7 The available water should be developed for sanitation and micro- irrigation schemes. Some of the free-flowing rivers appear to be feasible for use in backyard gardening and the like with the help of pumps. The possibility of their extensive utilisation should be explored. 5.8 Development and/or rehabilitation activities for roads, forestry, soil, water and wildlife conservation are essential. The ERCS should, in collaboration with the line ministry offices in the Zone and the Woreda, lobby for these inputs and advocate for other agencies to contribute towards establishment or strengthening of these development schemes. 5.9 The uses of baseline information, generated from the present survey in the area, for future projects (including development programs) appraisals, implementation, monitoring and impact evaluation is highly recommended. 13
