XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-18/DDA-3379/SA2/WASH-N-NFI/ES/INGO/9664 United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Two successive years of below average rainfall in lowland areas of Ethiopia have left hundreds of thousands of people from pastoral and agro pastoral population destitute and in need of humanitarian assistance. In 2017/18. Ethiopia has been seen a significant increase of its IDP population. In year 2018, about 1.5 Million people displaced due to conflict, drought, and floods. According to 2018 HDRP 1 million individuals of the IDP caseload displaced due to conflict, 528,000 individuals are climate-change induced IDPs displaced by drought, and floods. The displaced community require multi-sector support to address immediate needs to save lives. According to the 2018 HDRP, (Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan document) people will encounter a lack of safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene promotion to protect them from WASH related diseases. The critical needs for WASH services provision in terms of quality and quantity has been identified as a severe gap in the targeted IDPs and drought affected woredas. In the targeted Woredas, the low WASH (water and sanitation coverage), limited number of functioning and accessible water sources of safe water, poor condition of sanitation facilities, and hygiene practice increases the risk for WASH-related diseases. In addition, as per the gender roles women and girls are required to travel larger distances (often over 5 kms) for water collection from unsafe water sources (rivers and ponds), which has increased the vulnerability for WASH related disease spread, AWD and protection challenges. The critical water shortage International Medical Corps will cover under this second round allocation uncovered woredas in Nutrition WASH and Shelter.
