1. Introduction
1.1 Background of the Project:
The Decentralized of Disaster Risk Reduction Management in Ethiopia (DDRME) Project is a 4-
year project that will be implemented from December 2019 to December 2023. DRRMP will be
funded by European Union (EU) and other beneficiary with community contributions. The total
project grant is Euro 6.755 million. It will be implemented in about 25 woredas of Oromia.
Oromia Regional state, particularly the lowland woredas, is continually affected by multitude of
disasters, with increasing magnitude and frequency. Due to this, a large proportion of
individuals, households and communities remain vulnerable to a number of shocks without
sufficient coping mechanisms at their disposal. To reverse these challenges, emphasis has been
given to interventions related to Disaster Risk Reduction, response to emergencies/crises, climate
change adaptation and social protection by government, United Nations (UN)and
International/Non-Governmental Organizations (I/NGOs) as well.
Thus, by addressing the resilience of communities, the aim of enhanced food security can be
achieved. In this connection effective coordination and action of concerned government of
Ethiopia (GoE) Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Institutions and I/NGO is needed to enhance
the resilience of community and their livelihoods to climate and other shocks. The coordination
can be effective if all the actors have mutual understanding of DRM policies and strategies, clear
roles and responsibilities in responding to individual and communities priorities to enhance
existing early warning and response system and support medium to long-term development
plans.
It is against this background that the proposal for the decentralization of DRM project in Oromia
was developed. This project will further support the Oromia DRM commission to bridge the
existing capacity of its staff and concerned government partners at all levels to deliver in in
decentralization of DRM policy, mainstreaming DRM into relevant sectors and building disaster
risk reduction implementation and emergency response capacity for effective annual
development planning. The financing of this project directly to Oromia DRMC, from the EU will
further address the decentralization gaps that existed and demonstrate the will by the delegation
to support GoE efforts to realize this priority set in the national DRM policy of 2013. The
Oromia regional government and the DRM Commission have further welcomed the joint funding
2
and co-funding of the contingency funds actions in its annual existing annual regional budget and
financial planning to effectively and timely respond to crises.
1.2 Objectives of the Project
• The Overall objective is to strengthen households, communities and local authorities to
manage and adapt to disasters and other risks, thus reducing their vulnerability to crises
• The specific objective is to enhance the capacities and systems of the Oromia Region
state to proactively and rapidly help communities cope and be protected in the event of
climatic stress and conflict
1.3 Expected Results/Outcomes
Table 1: The decentralization of DRM has two major results;

1.4 Background of the Context
Oromia Region is one of the most populous and resourceful regions in the country, has little
considerable history to be categorized with the drought and poverty prone segments of the
country. However, recently the regional state of Oromia, being the largest region of the country,
used to entertain proportionately high incidences of disasters and risks affecting the livelihoods
of a significant number of vulnerable communities particularly in drought prone areas of East,
South East and Southern parts of the region. According to specific assessments by ORDRMC of
2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 emergency responses, in the region, about 3.5 million people on the
average are repeatedly exposed to mainly natural hazards causing food deficit every year.
Moreover, disaster episodes were increasing from time to time with short periods of cycle
particularly aggravated by the impacts of climate change. By the pressing driving forces like
climate changes, the frequency and state of natural disaster has become threat for the livelihoods
of our community.
During the study phase of the project, there used to be nearly 3 million IDPs in the country, out
of which more than 1.7 million were in Oromia region. In the absence of any other dedicated
institution, the NDRMC, along with its counterparts at the regional and woreda level, was
requested to fill the gap and respond to their needs in terms of basic services, organization and
management, as well as peace building activities. This is proving a challenge as NDRMC was
initially established to address mainly natural disasters. The support to planning and the
financing of preparedness and response through this Action will help the local government
address these needs.
In order to address the needs of these internally displaced people, Ethiopia has endorsed the
internationally recognized OCHA Guiding Principles on Displacement, which details the rights
and guarantees relevant to the protection of climate induced IDPs from floods and droughts (see
assessment reports during 2020/21), to their protection and assistance during displacement up to
the achievement of durable solutions. Ethiopia is also in the process of ratifying the African
Union Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa
(Kampala Convention) that it signed in 2009. With regards to return or relocation of IDPs as part
of durable solutions, the principles of voluntariness, dignity, safety and sustainability must also
be respected.
Within the Decentralization agenda of Ethiopia as a Federal State, administratively this has been
4
translated into yearly transfer of "block grants" from Federal to Regional Level on account of
five decentralized sectors: 1) roads; 2) education; 3) health; 4) water; and 5) agriculture. It is the
Regions that decides what sectors to prioritize with the limited resources and the how much to
transfer to the Zonal (where there are) and Woreda administrations. An example of such
decentralized approach is the PSNP, which is a vertical national programme, budgeted at the
federal level, with support from the international community, and is implemented at regional and
woreda level and accounted as additional funding to the above grants to the Regions. Where, the
NDRMC launches every year the humanitarian disaster resilience plan (HDRP) but practically
leaves the decentralization of preparedness and DRR financing. Hence, for so long the DRM
policies, strategies and programs remained hinged at the federal level. That is why the 10 years
old disaster risk profiles done, remained decentralized and found far from touching the ground.
Hence, this report covers activities performed against the plan and the challenges encountered to
implement all planned activities.
2. Plan Vs Accomplishment
It is recalled that this year’s budget was released very lately, lagging for seven months, to define
a work plan for the preparedness and early response interventions. Even though the late budget
release, here under are the major activities implemented during the reporting period and derived
outputs:

Details of Implemented Activities and Accomplishments for the year two/2021
2.1 Participation in National level evaluation and workshops of the project: EU and the
NDRMC organized a national level workshop on Research, Training and Knowledge
Management: Collaboration among Universities and DRM Institutions in Ethiopia as well as
quarterly evaluation of the project so far performance. The Oromia regional DRMC delegates
participated in the events and made presentation of the Oromia project performance and
plans.
2.2 Selection of Woredas for DRR plans and DRR implementation: Within the project
proposal, it was planned to address 25 woredas with DRR mitigation activities. In this regard,
the regional DRMC has done a thorough analysis of those Woredas that are vulnerable to a
range of disaster risks. Identification of all woredas having woreda disaster risk profile was
the first work done so as to make comparisons among them for the selection of the 25
woredas based on the criteria set in the project proposal. Consequently, during the first 6
months of the project, mapping of woredas with disaster risk profiles was completed. That set
the basis for the selection of Woredas for all other DRM interventions. Hence, in this second
year the project addressed 4 zones of the region, namely, Borena, Bale, East Hararghe and
West Hararghe Zones. Within these four Zones, the project intervenes in 8 Woredas: Dhas
and Dirre, Delomena and Medawalabu, Chinaksan and Jarso, Guba-koricha and Tulo of the
above stated Zones respectively. Hence, for the second year, in each zone there are 2 woredas
where the project implementation started. For the second year the total budget per woreda is
birr 7,800,000 (€150,000). Among the criteria set, level of vulnerability and
absence/presence of other NGOs have been the main criteria used to select the target areas
for implementation.
2.3 Development of budget request plan and submission to the EU: Following the
endorsement of the project proposal by EU, the Oromia regional DRMC developed financial
request for the second year and submitted to EU. Consequently, the budget for the second
year was received very lately in the month of August 2021.
2.4 Internal Project briefing to the regional DRM commissioner and deputy
commissioners: The senior leaders of the Oromia DRMC, though involved in the project
preparation did not have the detailed project content. Hence, the Oromia DRMC DRR and
EW directorate, which led the proposal design and organized a detail internal orientation to
12
the senior leadership of the commission. This helped for the establishment of clear
understanding on the project among the Commissioner, Deputy Commissioners, the
Contingency Fund directorate, the HR directorate and Finance directorate.
2.5 Woreda/Woreda Action plan development: To effectively implement this project ODRMC
led in the action plan development that allowed smooth flow of the implementation of the
project as per the annual and project plan. Accordingly, all the ten selected Woredas have
prepared their own action plans and summarized into region level.
2.6 Project Familiarization Workshop: The familiarization workshop is part of an
endorsement of the formal startup of the project implementation by Woreda, zonal, regional
and federal government authorities. In the same way, the orientation is meant to equip the
participants with the necessary knowledge and understanding of the project contents. The
participants from regional and zonal levels were new to the project. Hence, the workshop was
mainly to familiarize the officials with the concept of DRR/M and their components,
International DRR Framework and also to provide a general picture on disaster risk profile of
the country, and specifically the Oromia region, familiarize with Institutional/Policy
Evolution of DRM in Ethiopia and Strategic Programme and Investment Framework (SPIF).
The workshop also highlighted the key roles and responsibilities of the officials at various
levels. Hence, the regional DRMC has organized a one days’ workshop for the
familiarization workshop on September 30, 2021 in Adama town.
In general, the workshop participants and officials have taken the following responsibilities or
actions:
- Introduce the project to the regional, zonal and woreda level participants
- Networking with other participants for experiential learning and mutual support
- Familiarized the participants on the DR profiling, DRR planning and contingency planning
and triggering
- Revise and develop woreda level DRR plan for the selected 8 woredas of the project
implementation areas

KEY NOTE ADDRESSED
Oromia DRM Deputy Commissioner, Mr. Geremew Olika has addressed welcoming note to the
participants at the beginning of the launching workshop. Key points addressed by Mr. Geremew
Olika in his speech include, the disclosure of the weakness currently observed in implementing
DRM activities in saving lives and livelihoods beforehand. He pointed out that the existing
ratified policies of the DRMC at federal level would help a lot in decentralizing DRM in the
region. He indicated, however, that there has been a challenge in terms of putting the policies
into action. In another note, the deputy commissioner raised issues of DRR, coordination,
mainstreaming and proper capacity building for decentralization of DRM at woreda and Kebele
levels. Finally, he emphasized the need for all sector bureaus to play a pivotal role in taking
disaster risk that are relevant to their sector and join hands in implementing the current EU
assisted decentralization of DRM project by considering it as an opportunity to translate the
regional plan into action.
Similarly, Dr. Gutu Tesso, DT Global DRM technical advisor on to

Oromia region DRMC has also welcomed the participants to this
familiarization workshop of the project. He raised issues related to
frequency and intensity of disaster risk that has been increasing in the
region making millions of people to be vulnerable to livelihoods and
life losses. The effort that has been made in the region so far has
helped in building the resilience of the region; however, compared to
the magnitude of the challenge, there is a need to double our effort. Moreover, he emphasized
that the region has been doing Woreda disaster risk profiling for almost 10 years now, yet the
effort to make those assessments translated in to ground level actions are limited. Therefore, the
project from the EU in decentralizing DRM will be an opportunity for the region to translate its
DRR profiling and policies to touch the ground.
2.7 Transfer of funds to selected project woredas for the implementation of the planned
activities: the implementation of the planned DRR activities was decided to be handled by
the respective Zonal sector offices under the guidance of line DRM Committees.
Consequently, the budget for the implementation of the planned DRR activities was
transferred into the accounts of Zone DRMC.
14
2.8 DRR Activities Implementation for the year 2021
The EU supported Decentralization of Disaster Risk Management in Oromia has two major
Outcomes: where the first one is Disaster Risk Reduction, Preparedness and response activities
undertaken in all woredas where woreda Disaster Risk profile were completed and contingencies
plans developed. The activities eligible for funding will be based on the DRM activities
validated. There are two main results that are envisaged as part of the DRM strategy that will
contribute to the above outcome. These results are 1. The capacities of regional and local
(woreda) administrations have been strengthened to improve disaster risk management and 2.
Effective DRR regional Contingency Funds (DRR-CF) are in place to reinforce preparedness and
early response.
In this connection 8 woredas were selected for the second year of project implementation.
These woredas are located in Eastern and Western Hararghe, Bale and Borena zones. Detailed
action plan was developed for each of the woredas to implement disaster mitigation activities.
Accordingly, each woredas has received their second year budget amounting Euro 150,000
(One hundred fifty thousands) in the month of September 2021 and have started the actual
activities implementation. However, given that this is the new woredas for the actual project
implementation, limited capacity of staff at woreda level and strict requirement to adhere to
government of Ethiopia’s budget management and that of EU, there is a need for technical
capacity support provision at woreda level.
Based on the context of the Zones and Woredas, the project focused on two major activities
such as Water supply for both human and livestock and Small Scale Irrigation. The detail plan
versus achievement by Zones and Woredas is as under:
I. West Hararghe Zone

For the second year of the project intervention, the two woredas (Guba-koricha and Tulo)
have been selected in the zone based on the criteria set and disaster risk profile. According to the
context of this zone, the project focused on Maintenance of Small Scale Irrigation through
Construction of Pond and construction of line canal from Legawayu river in Guba-koricha and
development and expansion of water schemes from the springs (11.2KM installed pipe, One-50
m3 underground Collection Chamber, Construction of 25m3 booster Reservoir, maintenance of
10 water points, installation of Generator and pump) in Tulo serving the rural villages highly
15
vulnerable to droughts to be utilized by both human and livestock, 8320 and 11,953
respectively. The total budget allocated for these planned sub-projects for both woredas is
ETB 15,600,000 (€300,000). The total beneficiaries for Guba-koricha woreda are: Burka Jalela
site: A total of 39hhs (Female 4) will have access to SSI; Legewayeso site: a total of 200hhs
(Female 20) living in 3 villages will have access to SSI; and in Tulo the total beneficiaries are
23,884 (female 12,463) living in 3 villages and 11,210 livestock will access safe potable water.

II. East-Hararghe Zone
For the second year of the project intervention, two woredas
(Chinaksan and Jarso) have been selected in the zone based on the criteria and
the Woredas’ disaster risk profile. According to the context of this zone, the
project focused on construction and Maintenance of Small Scale Irrigation
(2KM) in Jarso and construction of pond for rural water supply
in Chinaksan Woreda for the rural villages is to be utilized by both human and
livestock. In Jarso woreda, construction and maintenance of small scale irrigation
is to be utilized by 320 households to cultivate different horticultures and crops
on 100 hectors. The total budget allocated for these two sub-projects
is ETB 15,600,000 (€300,000).

For the secondyear of the project intervention, two Woredas (Delomena and Medawalabu) have been selected in the zone based on th
e criteria set and disaster risk profile. According to the context of this zone, the project focused on upgrading and expansion of Small
Scale Irrigation schemes in both woredas from the Welmel river which flow throughout the year (2KM each) to irrigate and cultivate
different horticultures and crops on 100ha and 130 hactors in Delomena and Medawalabu woredas respectively; and to
benefit 400hhs. The total budget allocated for these two sub-projects is ETB 15,600,000 (€300,000).

For the second year of the project intervention, two Woredas (Dhas and Dirre) were selected in the zone based
on the criteria set in the project proposal and Woredas’ disaster risk profile. According to the context of this zone, the project focused
on Replacement and maintenance of two none functional motorized water schemes and construction of two macro-ponds with
its full structures such as inlet-outlet, spill-way, cattle trough and washing-basin for the rural villages to
be utilized by both human and livestock population of about 43,560 and 153,000 respectively. Accordingly, 1 motorized water
scheme in each of the selected Woreda were rehabilitated, maintained and installed and currently supplying water for both human and
livestock consumption in both pastoral villages. In addition 1 macro-pond per each Woreda is under construction and ready to be
utilized in the coming rainy, belg season. The total budget allocated for this first year to complete the planned sub- projects
is ETB 15,600,000 (€300,000).

3. Monitoring and Other Administrative Activities
3.1 Zonal DRR coordination platform strengthening:
The regional level coordination platform is an existing one that is chaired by the Oromia
DRMC and co- chaired by UNOCHA. However, before the commencement of the EU
supported DRM decentralization project, there has was no meeting either virtually or
physically conducted. Moreover, the same platform was not been cascaded to zonal level and
no orientation was provided to the stakeholders about the EU supported decentralization of
DRM. Hence, as part of the technical assistance, ToR was developed to re-strengthening the
regional DRR platform. The ToR was reviewed and endorsed by the regional
DRM commission. Similarly, DRR coordination platform was established at zonal level. The
first coordination platform was facilitated by the EU technical assistance team. As an ongoing
process, the platform will be chaired by zonal administration, co-chaired by relevant NGO and
the zonal DRM office will be the secretory. The meeting will be conducted every month. The
participants are: zonal administration, zonal DRM office, agriculture, livestock, health, women
affairs, water office, and relevant NGOs working on DRM in the zone
3.2 Technical support to Woreda and Zonal level government officials

Given this is the second year of the actual project implementation, limited capacity of staff at
woreda level and strict requirement to adhere to government of Ethiopia’s budget management
and that of EU, there is still a need for technical capacity support provision at woreda level.
Therefore, the ToR was designed and the field travel to project implementation sites was
facilitated to provide technical backstopping, facilitating the zonal level coordination platform to
Zonal and woreda level officials of North Shoa zone; and the technical support on DRR-CF
implementation was delivered successfully to Western and Eastern Wollega and Hararghe zones
and its project Woredas on the following issues:
Objectives
The overall objective of the field mission was to provide technical support through supportive
supervision to project implementers and facilitate orientation to the zonal level coordination
platforms. Below are the specific objectives to be addressed through the field mission
- To monitor the progress of activities implementation against the annul action plan, and donor
requirements;
- Facilitate zonal level orientation workshop for DRR coordination platform members
23
- To Provide technical guidance and support on DRR-CF activities for woreda level
implementer
3.3 Major Works Done During the Field Visit under DRR Mitigation Activities
- Introducing Project Team to Woreda and Zonal Stakeholders: Except during the
launching workshop where only few individuals present, there has been no connection
established between the local level project implementing partners and the project staff.
Hence, this first field mission to North-Shoa Zone enabled the formal introduction of project
staff to the local level implementers. That will help to provide a direct capacity building and
technical guidance to local level implementers. Hence, that will ensure the decentralization of
the DRM in Oromia.
Supervision of the Progress of DRR Mitigation Activities Implementation: Over the

last year the selected 2 woredas of North-Shoa (Warajarso & Abichu-gnea) Zone have
completed the implementation of the mitigation activities. Given that there has been a
delay in the start of the project, there has been too much rash to complete the action plan
of the year. As such we have been supervising the way the project activities are
implemented, identified the gaps occurring and monitored as to whether the woredas are
implementing in accordance of the regulation of the Ethiopian governments financial
management and EU’s requirement.

- Provision of on Site Capacity building: The visit was more of supportive supervision,
whereby necessary guidance, orientation and technical support were provided to each woreda
level implementers. The capacity building support was related to the context of the woreda
livelihoods, disaster risk profile, and the specific mitigation activities selected by the
woredas.
Figure 6: Provision of on Site Capacity building at Warajarso and Abichu Woredas
Respectively
- Facilitation of Zonal Level Coordination Platform: The regional level coordination

platform is an existing one that is chaired by the Oromia DRMC and co-chaired by
UNOCHA. However, over the past eight months there has been no meeting either virtually or
physically conducted. Moreover, the same platform has not been cascaded to zonal level and
no orientation was provided to the stakeholders about the EU supported decentralization of
DRM. Hence, as part of the field travel the first round of coordination meeting was facilitated
at zonal level to introduce the project and set the future course of action.
- At zonal level the committee is not as such strong. We meet occasionally through the letter
issued by the zonal administration. In fact, the same structure exists at woreda level, but not
strong. We need your support in the following ways
- Training capacity for capacity building of the committee members
- Allocation of small budget to do evaluation of the different woredas
29
Action
- We will develop the small ToR at regional level and share with all
- Develop training plan
- Build the budget into the FY’21
Figure 7: Facilitation of Zonal Level Coordination Platform at North-Shoa zone
- Documentation: From the early start of the project implementation, it would be good
documenting all the project interventions, processes and progress. Hence, part of the travel
was to furnish the technical assistance with relevant ground level information that grasp the
project progress. (eg. Proper documentation of project design, specifications and related
documents for all sites.)

Major success so far

- The necessary project team was formed
32
- The orientation of the project team from the different
sector is well done
- The selection of the water development and
rehabilitation points in 5 sites for the zone is
completed
- All projects have a detail plan and bid documents of
about 50 pages
This project is the first one where the project team has
focused and did it with higher level of quality.
Major Challenges encountered

- The breakdown of peace and security required the
deployment of the whole sectors. The security
challenge is related to that of the war in Tigray, the
frequent market boycott and the OLA ongoing fight
with the government army. These lead delay in the
actual implementation of the project
The shortage of separate administration cost was also
another challenge
Recommendations
 Support from ODRMC
- The Oromia DRMC finance department should reach
out to the zonal finance to ensure the separate
management of the fund
- We are suffering shortage of adimin cost as the project
team could not freely undertake the work. Hence,
ODRMC might need to look for alternative means of
supporting the Woredas.
- Conduct orientation to the woreda on the technical
assistance regarding the nature of the project so that
they provide the necessary support in the
implementation process. In this connection, the team
that has come from Addis Ababa has organized an
33
orientation for one day on the DRR platform.
- Provide detail orientation to the zonal sector heads so
that we can leverage their support in the technical
supervision of the project. This is also provided on the
DRR coordination platform conducted at zonal level.
- There is a need of supporting the zone and woredas
with logistics and training from ODRMC.
 Actions to be taken by the Zonal DRMC

- Organizing post implementation project management
systems including operation and maintenance (O &
M) system such as water users’ association and
irrigation users’ association including cost-recovery
systems.
- The office will open a separate joint water users’
association and irrigation users’ association specific
account so that they can save and control the financial
expenditure on the basis of O & M system set.
- Regular project status review and Site supervision
visit
- Site clearing and fencing the water schemes
developed/maintained.
- Finishing and mini-corrections on engineering errors
both on water schemes and irrigation canal at
warajarso Woreda.
- Construction of water troughs for livestock watering.
- There must be standard design for each sub-project
- There must be MoU among the implementing
agencies at different level.
34
Outcome of the supportive supervision: -
 This first field mission to North-shoa menabled the formal introduction of project staff to
the local level implementers. That will help to provide a direct capacity building and
technical guidance to local level implementers.
 The team has been supervising the way the project activities are implemented, identified
the gaps occurring and monitored as to whether the woredas are implementing in
accordance of the regulation of the Ethiopian governments financial management and
EU’s requirement.
 The visit was more of supportive supervision, whereby necessary guidance, orientation
and technical support was provided to each woreda level implementers based on the
context of the woreda livelihoods, disaster risk profile, and the specific mitigation
activities selected by the woredas.
 The first round of coordination meeting was facilitated at zonal level and general
introduction/orientation was given to the stakeholders both at zonal and woreda levels
about the EU supported decentralization of DRM and set the future course of action.
 The team furnished the technical assistance with relevant ground level information that
grasps the project progress documenting all the project interventions, processes and
progress.
 In general, at the end of each supervision and discussions held both at woredas and
Zones, participants have reflected the following points.
 The participants have witnessed that they have got more understanding on DRM Policy
and its implementation strategy.
 The participants have understood on processes and steps of planning the
mitigation/adaptation plan and Contingency plan.
 Participants were convinced to plan the mitigation/adaptation plan and Contingency plan
activities based on weredas disaster risk profile.
Participants have understood that DRM is not only the mandate and responsibility of one
sector, specifically DRMC, but it is a multi-sect oral issue, and are motivated to mainstream
DRR activities so as to prevent/mitigate the most frequent hazard risks they have experienced
to have impacted the lives and livelihood of people.
35
3.4 Finalizing the 2020FY DRR Activities Implementation
Ten (10) woredas of five zones were selected for the first year of project implementation. These
woredas are located in Eastern and Western Harargeh zones, Bale Zone, Borena Zone and North
Shewa zones. Detailed action plan was developed for each of the woredas to implement disaster
mitigation activities and the first year action plan was approved on the validation workshop
organized in Adama town. Accordingly, each woredas has received their first year budget
amounting 156,560 Euro in the month of October 2020 and have started the actual activities
implementation. However, given that this is the first year of the actual project implementation,
limited capacity of staff at woreda level and strict requirement to adhere to government of
Ethiopia’s budget management and that of EU, hence, technical capacity support provisions have
been given both at Zonal and woreda levels to enhance their capacities for timely
implementations.
As a result of the technical support provided so far, all project Woredas have completed the
project physical performance during the reporting period.
3.5 Contingency Fund Establishment and Triggering

Early response activities include DRR activities related to the livestock, water, livelihood,
education and health and family planning sector as well as general emergency preparedness,
conflicts and IPDs interventions under the specific mandate of ODRMC.
An indicative budget per set of early response activities per woreda has been given at 160,000
euro for 14 woredas. This is indicative. The final number of woreda and the exact level of
intervention cost will be defined upon rapid assessment after an alert/alarm/emergency status has
been declared based on the Contingency provision in WDMAPS but also by the findings of the
assessments and of the prioritisation after verifying complementary response provided by
humanitarian actors. Accordingly, EU has already provided about birr 38,400,000 for this
purpose in two rounds. Oromia Region also mobilised via its contingency fund, at least an
equivalent amount to the EU funded early response. The implementation of this DRR-CF for the
first year has been accomplished with the approved Birr 11,200,000.00 (€320,000) for the first
round; and hence it is utilized accordingly; the implementation of the second year is under
progress for one action with the budget of birr 8,320,000.00 (€160,000.00) transferred to the two
zones, Guji and East-Bale, to respond for the communities affected with drought through
36
rehabilitation and maintenance of non-functional 11 water schemes. The status of its
implementation progress for the first round is described as bellow:
1. Daro-Lebu Woreda of West-Hararghe Zone;

 the necessary guidance, orientation and technical support was provided to
each woreda level implementers/emergency response taskforces;
 implementation modality was facilitated both at woreda and kebele levels;

3.6 Assessment of Woredas having risk profile and DRR plans:
Within the project proposal, it was planned to address 25 woredas with DRR mitigation activities.
In this regard, the regional DRMC has done a thorough analysis of those Woredas that are
vulnerable to a range of disaster risks. Identification of all woredas having woreda disaster risk
profile was the first work done so as to make comparisons among them for the selection of the 25
woredas based on the criteria set in the project proposal. Consequently, the assessment of woreda
risk profile which is the base for the selection of Woredas for all other DRM interventions were
done on 138 Woredas up to date and DRR plans on 21, 11 and 10 Woredas by last year and by this
reporting period respectively. In this reporting period DRR-CF plans were prepared for three zones,
namely, North-West Shoa (NWS), Ilu-ababora (I/A) and Jimma (Jim), and their respective
Woredas. The detail process and procedures followed are as below:
This report is therefore a narration of the detail events and proceedings of the mitigation/adaptation
plan and contingency plan along with series of trainings on how to do each of them. The training
and planning session was conducted at Woliso Town for twelve days (four days for each zone) by
senior DRR experts from NDRMC in collaboration with ODRMC.
General Objective: -
The main objective is to enable the participants plan and implement DRR and CP activities based
on Woredas disaster risk profile in a coordinated manner for effective establishment of disaster
risk management system in the context of their local conditions for sustainable development.
Specific objectives
 To enable participants understand DRM Policy and its implementation strategy.

 To introduce participants with the EU-supported Decentralized Disaster risk Management
initiatives.
 To enable participants understand methodologies and steps of planning the
mitigation/adaptation plan and Contingency plan.
 To enable the participants plan the mitigation/adaptation plan and Contingency plan

oral level
 question and answer,
 discussion,
 Moving around to each planning group, checking whether they are properly planning the
DRR and CP of their respective Woreda/sector.
 Group presentation
46
Outcome of the training and Planning: -
At the end of the training and planning session, participants have reflected the following points.
 The participants have witnessed that they have got more understanding on DRM Policy and
its implementation strategy.
 The participants have understood on processes and steps of planning the mitigation/adaptation
plan and Contingency plan.
 Participants were convinced to plan the mitigation/adaptation plan and Contingency plan
activities based on Woredas disaster risk profile.
 Participants have understood that DRM is not only the mandate and responsibility of one

DRR activities so as to prevent/mitigate the most frequent hazard risks they have experienced
to have impacted the lives and livelihood of people.
Closing of the Training and planning

After the Training and planning sessions were completed, the facilitators and the Head of the zone
DRMO have expressed their closing remarks and stated the importance of the training and planned
activities for the participant’s Woredas. They farther stated that the readiness of participants should
continue to influence their respective sectors for applying the learnt concepts and the planned
activities.
Conclusion and Recommendation

The training and planning sessions were conducted successfully and all the participants took active
part in all the days of the training and planning. The overall reflections from the majority of the
participants show that there was almost no knowledge on how to assess and identify major hazards,
vulnerabilities and the adaptive capacity of the community in their locality. After the training and
planning sessions were completed:
 Participants were able to understand how to assess the risk factors (hazards, vulnerabilities
and the adaptive capacity) of their localities
 they have witnessed that they have been aware of many features of DRM, DRR and CP
planning methodologies,
47
 They were able to plan a mitigation/adaptation plan and contingency plan for their respective
Woredas and sectors,
 They understood their role in DRM process and are motivated to play their part in the

Initiating and supporting the Oromia Disaster Risk Reduction Commission (ODRMC) to organize
and conduct multi stakeholder forum for consultations on DRR is one of the key activities under the
EU Funded project. Accordingly, this report provides the need for, objectives, results, activities along
with work plan and related issues addressed on the conducted workshop.
Justification
Oromia Regional State is the widest region of Ethiopia. Despite encouraging development, the
population in the region particularly communities in lowland areas have still been suffering from
poverty. ODRMC have been working to ensure an accelerated and sustained developmental
engagements of these communities.
While EU funded project have been implementing community based development project activities
within the framework of the identified priorities through the management of the government
structure, there are so many major charities and societies working in lowland areas. This is to mean
that ODRMC is also responsible to coordinate the DRM activities by development partners in the all
area of the region.
As charities and societies are the key collaborators and contributors of the country’s development
programs including the growth and transformation plan, they are implementing different projects in
various parts of the country including in the pastoral and agro pastoral area. Nevertheless, the pastoral
and agro-pastoral areas have currently suffered life threatening and devastating problems due to the
drought. This calls for concerted and coordinated effort to tackle the problems as well as to put in
place preventive strategies in collaboration with various development partners working in the area.
Hence it is imperative to conduct a consultative and experience sharing forum with charities and
societies including other stakeholders working in the area to better address the pressing needs of the
communities.
Accordingly EU funded project of Oromia region in collaboration with Oromia Disaster Risk
Management Commission has planned to conduct consultative forum on DRR and EWS with major
development partners known us charities and societies. The consultative forum focuses on learning
48
from the achievements so far, sharing experiences by EU-project and among stakeholders, identifying
priority issues that need special attention in the region, ways of integration and coordination of
projects to better address community needs and interests and on how to strengthen the relationship
between the ODRMC and the stakeholders to effectively and efficiently engage in the DRM
interventions.
Objectives
The main objective of the consultative forum will be to create a platform whereby EU and
stakeholders share their achievements and experiences as well as identify priority intervention issues
that need their special attention in vulnerable areas of the region.
The specific objectives were:

1. Sharing key achievements and experiences on DRR approaches between EU and
stakeholders.
2. Identification of key intervention priorities those need special attention for vulnerable area
community development and finding ways of addressing them.
3. Assessment and find out the levels and ways of strengthening relationship with ODRMC to
effectively and efficiently engage in community centered development interventions.
Results/Out-puts
The results obtained from the coordination meeting were:
 Participants obtained clear knowledge and information on the EU-Funded Project
achievements and its DRR approaches.
 Participants shared their achievements and best practices for further learning and engagement.
 Participants developed common understanding on priority intervention issues those need
special attention in vulnerable areas.
 Participants assessed the level of relationship with ODRMC and identified initiative to
strengthen strong relationship with it.
Participants of the Forum
The participants of the consultative forum were directors/representatives of selected charities and
societies’ agencies, Relevant Sector Bureaus and ODRMC leaders and key staff. The list of
participant charities and societies agencies is attached in the annex section.
Key Notes and Presentations on the Meeting

 The coordination meeting was started with self-introduction and opening remarks/Key Notes
addressed by the deputy commissioner of ODRMC. The remarks can be shortly stated as: the
49
regional DRMTWG meeting had been very strong before the onset of COVID-19 pandemic.
Whereas, because of the COVID-19 and other related factors the meeting has interrupted in
recent times. Hence, this is to resume the meeting to proceed in regular schedule. He stated
that this first initiation is taken by EU-Supported Decentralization of DRRM Project; and
thanking to that, the other stakes has to take the same initiation to strengthen this coordination
meeting and every participant has to clearly forward his/her idea on this meeting to strengthen
it.
 Presentation on Brief Situational Up-dates of Oromia Region by Mr. Begna Duressa,
Director of ODRMC’s DRR and EW Directorate, has showed the clear status and situation
of Oromia on the following contents:
 Desert Locust invasion and its impact  Food security prospect
 Drought and its impact  Gap and Challenges and
 Response situation  The way forward
50
Themes/Issues
The main themes of the forum were the following.
 Assess and highlight intervention efforts around vulnerable areas, collective
progress/achievements, experiences, challenges, etc (of region partners’).
For this first coordination meeting, the works/interventions of EU-supported decentralization
of disaster risk reduction management project were presented in detail and many
experiences/achievements such as completion of sub-projects within a span of two months of
time, its efficiency and effectiveness, linkages of DRR activities with developmental
interventions rather than humanitarian support alone and its strive to decentralize and
mainstreaming the DRM activities in to the downward line structures for active response.
Hence the participants took it as good experience and agree to plan and follow the same
methodology in their next action plan.
 Discussed and identified key problems/challenges for the interruption of our
region’s regular meeting on the coordination and the way forward to strengthen it:
the participants raised many issues/factors for the loose coordination meeting, among
those the following are the major ones:
 Less/poor commitment from sector leaders in assigning focal persons,
integration of DRR activities in to their regular plan, in some cases even if there is
relevant issue with their sectors, there is poor monitoring and evaluation on it.
Hence, the response from the respective sectors is not as active as required.
 Lack of strict check and balance system: for instance absence of MoU among
relevant sector offices to act accordingly, lack of updated NDRM strategy to
accommodate wide stakeholders to participate on the coordination meeting.
 Less commitment of NGOs, UN and humanitarian agencies to discharge their
responsibilities towards strengthening the coordination forum.
 Communication/information gap: there is no uniformity/common channel for
information dissemination among stakes in case of any divergent from regular
schedule.
 Lack of UNOCHA focal person at region level to coordinate the DRMTWG:
in order to cooperate and coordinate in a very active and regular manner, it is
crucial to have a focal person at regional level who took the responsibility for
information dissemination and organizing the issues and stakes for this
coordination sustainability and strength.
 Deliberations on the way forward: the coordination meeting’s participants based on the
drawbacks stated above have forwarded the following issues and summary to strengthen
the meeting;
 The ODRMC has to take commitment and call upon urgent consultative meeting
for the heads of sectors and directors of UN as well as humanitarian
agencies/organizations and put the direction via thorough discuss on the issues;
 There should be a system, MOU, revised/restructured participatory strategy with
regulation and the like to act accordingly upon our next meeting;
51
 There has to be initiations and commitments from each GO-NGO to host and
strengthen the coordination meeting as of the EU-funded project.
 There should be similar consultative meeting in the near future;
 Focal-person for UN-OCHA has to be assigned very soon to resume the meeting;
 Finally, the deputy commissioner of ODRMC put the direction and declared that
the ODRMTWG regular meeting has to continue every two weeks/15 days
starting from next week with all leading sectors including BoFEC; and the
meeting was concluded with a common motto ” If there is coordination, we will
easily succeed!”.
Methodology
The techniques followed on the coordination workshop were presentations by ODRMC, EU-
Project representative, and selected charities and societies directors as well as interactive
discussion/brainstorming among participants. Participants also have accessed to the presentation
materials.
Timeframe and Venue

The Coordination meeting was conducted on March 9, 2021 at Dembel-View Hotel in Adama
Town.
Management of the Forum
All selected charities and societies directors were formally invited by ODRMC to attend the
consultative forum. The EU representatives have managed the arrangement and facilitation of the
forum. The day-to-day follow up of activities of the program was carried out by 2 assigned
facilitators (one from the EU and one from ODRMC). Moreover, there were 2 facilitators
(finance officer and TA of the EU-project) to handle the registration processes and settle
payment issues.
3.8 Preparation of the 2021FY Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWPB)
The DRR activities planned for the year 2020 are successfully accomplished within a short
period of time with in so many challenges. Therefore, it is high time to initiate/revise the second
year, FY2021, AWPB. Accordingly, the activities versus required budget proposal were prepared
and sub-mitted to EU for approval. Hence, the approved budget was released at the end of last
month and its implementation is to be started very soon. The major activities planned to be
implemented are indicated as under:

3.9 . Research Activities
Our Commission and Ambo University signed MoU as it was found necessary to build
different coordination and cooperation with higher institutions to strengthen partnership,
especially on research activities. In relation with EU-funded project, Ambo University
was selected in Oromia among Universities in the Region for this purpose as it is the sole
university having DRM department in its curriculum. The first joint coordination meeting
between Our Commission and Ambo University was held at Ambo University for one day on
October 14, 2021. In connection with that the University has been doing the preconditions
and proposals development for the research activities to be done. Based on the request of
Ambo University our commission arranged a one day meeting to review the proposal was
done on 05/11/21 at Adama. After thorough discussion and enrichment, it was reached on
consensus to proceed with the identified Research areas. The major activities to be done are:
1. Undertaking research on the selected two thematic areas; “Effectiveness of Early
Warning System in Oromia to Early Response” and “Assessment of the Impacts of
Climate based Recurrent Drought in Lowlands of Oromia”.
2. Conducting review meetings on the research progress at different levels of the study at
University level;
3. Writing up and submission of the final research document to Oromia Disaster Risk
Management and Developmental Displacement Affairs Commission. Accordingly, Ambo
University has performed his major activities and currently finalizing the writing-up to be
validated in the near future with the presence of concerned stakeholders.
The total amount of budget allocated for the University to finalize this research activities is
500,000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand Birr only) covering all its operational costs. For the
case of management purpose, we arranged this budget transfer in three installments.
Accordingly, the Commission transferred the first trench, 275,000.00 (Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Birr Only) and the second trench of birr 150,000.00 to Ambo University to
perform and complete the activities on time; and the third and final trench will be transferred
after final validation workshop at regional level.

3.10 . Field Visit Mission
After the budget release, the supportive field visits were done to Western and Eastern Hararghe
Zones Borena as well as Bale Zone.
Objectives
The overall objective of the field mission was to provide technical support through supportive
supervision to project implementers and facilitate orientation on the handing over process of the
FY’20 structures (Potable water supply) and finalization of the FY’21 planning and site selection
for project implementation. Below are the specific objectives to be addressed through the field
mission
- To support the woredas on the facilitation of project handing over to relevant sector as per
the template designed and provided;
- To provide technical support in the completion of the actual project activities for FY’21 as
per the budget for the year and the criteria set in the project document
- To provide technical support on the feasibility of activities site selection especially for the
irrigation scheme and potable water supply

projects in each district and are
advertised.
- The necessary project team was
56
formed
- The orientation of the project
team from the different sector and
respective kebeles is well done
- All projects have a detail plan and
bid documents of about 50 pages
- Decision was made to quickly get
into the implementation
- 50% of the budget is already
transferred to the zones.
Major Challenges encountered

-
The breakdown of peace and
security required the deployment
of the whole sectors. The
security challenge is related to
that of the war in Tigray, the
frequent market boycott and the
ongoing fight with the
government army.
- The late budget release
- Rainy Season (Accessibility)
- These lead delay in the actual
implementation of the project
Recommendations
Support from ODRMC

- The project familiarization
w/shop has to be conducted very
soon at all levels
- The Oromia DRMC finance
department should reach out to
the zonal finance to ensure the
separate management of the fund
- Conduct orientation to the woreda
on the technical assistance
regarding the nature of the project
so that they provide the necessary
support in the implementation
process.
- Provide detail orientation to the
zonal sector heads so that we can
leverage their support in the
57
technical supervision of the
project. This is also provided on
the DRR coordination platform
conducted at zonal level.
Action to be taken by the Zonal
DRMC
- Immediate handing over the
project to the selected bidders
from SMEs
- The office will open a separate
joint SMEs specific account so
that they can control the
financial expenditure and release
be done on the basis of
performance
- Regular project status review
- Site supervision visit
4. Visibilities
As visibility activities are crucial parts of the project performance, Banners for different
workshops and trainings, Road-side and on site Bill-boards for each subproject performed in
2020; Stickers for Vehicles, Motor-bikes, computers and printers were accomplished and put in
to action. Similarly, the accomplishment of visibility activities is underway for the year 2021
sub-projects to be in place.

5. Major Challenges Encountered and the Way Out
Logistics: Event though the budget for vehicle procurement was transferred to NDRMC for an
immediate procurement, the vehicle procurement and handing over has happen by last week, on
January 27, 2022. Some of the major reasons were: shortage of appropriate number of bidders,
shortage of foreign currency and the bureaucratic procedure within the public office. In order to
address the challenge, the Oromia DRMC has been using vehicle from its own by properly
rearranging travels schedules.
Late Budget Release: The time for the second year’s budget release was in early January, 2021,
whereas, it was released very lately at the end of August.
Frequent conflict and instability: During the year, there has been frequent breakdown in peace
and stability across many part of Oromia. This has hampered all the planned field travels, and
undertaking of meeting at Woreda and Zonal levels. This in turn had an impact in delaying the
timely startup of the project implementation.
6. Way forward (solutions)

The Oromia Disaster Risk Management Commission in line with its downward structures availed
the necessary logistics in special attention and coordination.
For budget case, most of the reported activities were accomplished with a short period, 3-4
months of time; and some of them were done with a few existing budget.
For the case of conflicts, the line governmental organizations and political leaders have played a
great role in terms of continuous communication and developing possible mitigation and control
measures.
