To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child, making Early Moments Matter UNICEF Ethiopia has been working in Ethiopia for more than 65 years supporting the national and regional efforts towards the progressive realization of the rights of children and women. We do this by supporting the achievements of the Growth and Transformation Plan II as well as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through our programmes in Health, Nutrition, WASH, Child Protection, Education and Social Policy and Evidence on Social Inclusion. In addition, UNICEF Ethiopia has been leading the support in humanitarian programmes relentlessly working towards responding to emergency needs. The Somali Region of Ethiopia has been seriously affected by drought protracted since late 2016, a rise in IDP along the border with Oromia Region (estimated 370,000 conflict IDP in the region) and pocket areas where flooding in April/May 2018 continues to affect thousands of people displaced from their homes, with assets lost. In terms of Nutrition situation, Somali Region still reports over 8,000 new admissions to TFP each month, for SAM treatment among children aged 6-59 months. This is more than three times the average monthly caseload for the region and is indicative both of the ongoing food security crisis and the scale up in CMAM service availability.

Critical needs for relief food, emergency health and nutrition services and WASH services make up a ‘humanitarian bundle approach’ being developed by partners to reach some of the most remote communities where severe acute lack of access to water and pasture has resulted in dramatic loss of livestock and livelihood, mass displacement and escalating admissions to CMAM treatment services.
