A Disaster Risk Management Strategic Programme and Investment Framework is being designed to translate this new approach into action in a coordinated way across stakeholders. It will help mainstream disaster risk reduction into development planning and maximize resources
Organisational innovations that make community forestry prosperous

2. Disaster risks: Context of Ethiopia
• Ethiopia is still highly vulnerable to a wide range of CC
induced natural as well as man-made disasters.
• Drought remains the country’s leading major hazard
while flood is the second major hazard next to drought.
• Recent experience shows an apparent marked increase
in area coverage and frequency of such disasters
• Climate Change and associated risks are and will
continue to affect the economy in general and
agriculture and FS in particular

3. Background :Disaster Management in Ethiopia
Crisis management focused:
Pre-1973: no organized DM system, ad-hoc response to crises
1973: Relief & Rehabilitation Commission (RRC)
1993: National Policy on Disaster Prevention & Management
2004: Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Agency (DPPA)
PSNP opened a new chapter in the history of DM in Ethiopia by
shifting the focus from crisis management to risk management
Risk management focused:
2008: Disaster Risk Management and Food Security Sector
(DRMFSS).

4. • National Policy on Disaster Prevention & Management (NPDPM) – 1993
– Focus on response largely to droughts
– Actions not backed by risk assessments
• National Policy and Strategy on Disaster Risk Management – awaiting approval
– Full DRM cycle – prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery
and rehabilitation
– Focus on proactive risk management
– Aligned with the Hyogo Framework for Action
– Multi-hazard and multi-sector approach
– Informed decision making based on strong risk assessments and early warning
system
– Legal backing with proper institutional structure
– Multi sectoral
– Mainstreaming into development plans, strategies and policies.

5. Disaster Risk Management –Strategic Programme & Investment
Framework (DRM-SPIF)
Translating the new DRM approach into action
Designed to achieve the goals and targets of the Growth &
Transformation Plan
Will help harmonize DRM initiatives and create synergies for a more
effective implementation and maximize the available resource
efficiency of utilization
Main features
– Aligned with the new revised DRM Policy, HFA and GTP.
– Presents all DRM programme components along the different phases
of DRM and their interrelationships
– Substantively defines and costs (in detail) the various DRM
components/programmes
– Provides a mechanism for assessing progress and evaluating results
on DRM

8. Risk reduction measures
• Large government DRR/CCA programmes supported by
development partners which are being implemented
community level to address disaster risk and impacts of
CC (WDRP,PSNP,MERET,CRGE,Coping with Drought and
CCA project, ACCRA,etc).
• Government led coordination mechanisms:
– Disaster Risk Management Technical Working Group
(which brings together all actors involved in EWR)
– Sectoral Task Forces (led by respective ministries)
– Multi-Agency Coordination Group ( at the technical
and strategic levels)
9. Disaster Risk Profiling
• A risk assessment study being conducted(building upon existing livelihoods
baselines) to implement the new DRM approach
• Disaster Risk Profile for every wereda/district in country based on
information collected from communities, households and DRM actors
• It provides comprehensive information on: hazards and associated risks,
vulnerabilities, underlying and associated causes of disaster risks and
vulnerabilities, copying capacities, and current and proposed mitigation
measures
• Aims at informing:
– DRR /CCA plans in weredas/districts (manual development, actual
planning process at local level, etc.)
– Comprehensive contingency plans
– The kind of location-specific early warning and response system that
need to be in place
