2021 - Ethiopia Crisis Response Plan 2021CONTEXT ANALYSIS

Ethiopia faces one of the most complex human mobility environments in the world, with a range of social, economic,political and climatic factors driving populations within and outside its borders. In 2020, the country faced a series ofshocks that particularly impacted displacement affected communities. The COVID-19 pandemic, the invasion of thedesert locust as well as the heavy floods in several parts of the country, all contributed to the increase in the vulnerabilityof a population already living in precarious conditions. Incidences of political and intercommunal violence flared up inseveral regions of the country as a result of the tensions around the postponed 2020 elections. In November 2020,tensions between the national and regional governments developed into widespread conflict in the Tigray Region,creating a volatile humanitarian situation as numerous civilians have been displaced. All these events pose high stakesfor the stability of the country.

Ethiopia has one of the world’s largest internally displaced populations with displacement risks remaining high in 2021.According to IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Report from August 2020, 1.82 million people are internallydisplaced across 1,298 sites in Ethiopia. The primary drivers of this displacement were conflict – by a large margin – aswell as climatic shocks such as drought and floods. Ethiopia’s displacement landscape shifted significantly in 2019 and2020 following the Government of Ethiopia's (GoE) plan to return or relocate internally displaced persons (IDPs)nationwide, which led hundreds of thousands of IDPs to return to their areas of origin or relocate to land designated bygovernmental bodies. Ethiopia is also the second largest refugee-hosting country in Africa, hosting mainly refugees fromSouth Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea and Sudan.

Living conditions for returnees, those who have relocated and IDPs alike, are dire and needs remain high. Shelter, safeaccess to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), basic health services, and critical non-food items (NFIs) are urgent forall. Given the deterioration in the relationships between various levels of government and a recent uptick in conflict,community stabilization, peacebuilding and reconciliation efforts are much needed in the country, both to resolve, andprevent further conflict-induced internal displacement. In addition, disaster prevention and reduction efforts are essentialto reduce displacement associated with disasters related to natural hazards and climate risks and to strengthen resilienceby incorporating “build-back-better” measures in recovery and reconstruction.

Ethiopia is also a departure, transit and destination country for mixed migration flows in the region. The COVID-19pandemic translated into increased challenges for spontaneous migrant returnees and deportees. Between 1 April and 31December 2020, over 30,000 migrants returned to Ethiopia from Djibouti, Sudan, Somalia and Kenya - similar levels ofspontaneous returns are expected for 2021. The rate of forced returns from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)plummeted from a monthly average of 10,000 prior to COVID-19 to 721 during the rest of 2020. IOM estimates that asmany as 120,825 could return to Ethiopia from KSA over the course of 2021. With the recent closure of most quarantinefacilities designated for migrant returnees, immediate needs have shifted towards points of entry (PoEs), which are notadequately equipped to provide support to returnees during the mandatory quarantine period. The mass return ofEthiopian migrants has serious consequences not just for individual migrants and their families, but also for communitiesand regions that already face significant socioeconomic challenges.

COORDINATION

IOM is a key agency and standing member of the Ethiopian Humanitarian Country Team (EHCT) and the GoE’s NationalDisaster Risk Management Commission (NDRMC) preparedness and response efforts, such as the annual inter-agencyHumanitarian Response Plan (HRP). As the Shelter/NFI (S/NFI) Cluster lead agency, co-chaired with the GoE/NDRMC, IOMis a member of the Disaster Risk Management Technical Working Group (DRMTWG), the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group(ICCG), and the National Flood Task Force (NFTF). IOM also co-leads the recently activated Camp Coordination and CampManagement (CCCM) cluster with UNHCR. IOM has been a pioneer of durable solutions within the country and is co-chairof the Federal Durable Solutions Working Group (DSWGs) and several Regional DSWGs. IOM is also an active member of:

Ethiopia Cash Working Group – Co-chair.Interagency Accountability Working Group (IAAWG) - Co-chair.National WASH Cluster Strategic Advisory Group (SAG).National S/NFI Cluster SAG.National Protection Cluster SAG IOM interventions are coordinated at all levels with relevant governmental, non-governmental, and UN partners.

For the COVID-19 response, IOM is collaborating with the Emergency Coordination Cell (ECC) under NDRMC and its

regional branches, and the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) under the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI), whichare in charge of spearheading the national COVID-19 response. IOM’s interventions are coordinated at all levels withrelevant governmental, non-governmental, and UN partners. For instance, to support KSA returnees, IOM works closelywith government, UN and civil society partners to provide life-saving post-arrival assistance, reintegration assistance, andspecial assistance to unaccompanied migrant children. In addition to day-to-day coordination between partners’operational staff, activities are coordinated through a coordination platform and regular meetings. IOM Ethiopia isfurthermore coordinating joint planning of UN and civil society partners under the Migrant Response Plan (MRP) forYemen and the Horn of Africa.

IOM CAPACITY

IOM Ethiopia is headquartered in Addis Ababa, with a strong geographical presence across eight regions: Benishangul-Gumuz (Assosa), Somali (Jigjiga), Gambella (Gambella), Oromia (Moyale, Bule Hora, Nekempte), Afar (Semera), Tigray(Shire, Mekelle), Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples (Hawassa), and Dire Dawa City. IOM furthermore recentlyopened a Field Emergency Response Hub in Gondar, Amhara region, to respond to the Crisis in Northern Ethiopia. IOMEthiopia has more than 900 staff members, of whom more than 100 are working within the Emergency and Post-Crisis(EPC) program across the country, including a grants-based program called the Rapid Response Fund through whichsmall grants fund INGOs and local NGOs. IOM has been a leader in emergency and post-crisis assistance in Ethiopia fordecades and continues to provide impartial and accountable services for displacement affected and at-risk communitiesnationwide. IOM Ethiopia has a dedicated Migrant Health Department, providing comprehensive health services tomigrants and vulnerable populations across Ethiopia, including migration health assessments and travel assistance,health assistance to migrants, and health and MHPSS response to crisis situations. IOM’s Migration Health AssessmentCentre (MHAC) in Addis Ababa currently provides First Line of Defence (FLoD) services to eligible UN staff anddependents, i.e. health services consequential to COVID-19, thereby supporting staff and making it possible for the UN tocontinue to operate.
