ODO SHAKISO WOREDA (BORENA ZONE) BASELINE NUTRITION INTRODUCTION 1. Background to the Study STUDY This report offers major findings of a baseline nutrition survey that was commissioned by the Ethiopian Red Cross Society and undertaken by the consultant in Odo Shakiso Woreda of Borena Zone (TOR and map of the area are attached in Annexes Section). A separate brief report about the situation, observed in adjacent Adola- Wadera Woreda, is also annexed (Annex 4). Odo Shakiso Woreda is situated in the northern part of the Borena Zone. Borena Zone is one of the areas that have been affected by drought-induced crop failures and the precipitating food shortages and ill health. The Woreda has a total population of about 100,000 and organised into 20 (2 urban, and 18 rural) Kebele/Peasant Associations (K/PAs) out of which, according to the authorities of the Woreda, a total of 34,125 people are affected by the current drought-induced food shortages. Currently, the Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS) has been involved in the Woreda in terms of distributing relief food and is making utmost effort in mobilising resources to contribute towards containing the current food shortages. Therefore, a need was felt to undertake a baseline nutrition survey of the Woreda to understand the extent of the need and regulate the ERCS’s assistance as well as for further advocacy for resources and planning of health, water and nutrition-related interventions. 1
