3 4 UNICEF Ethiopia/2014/Ose 01Message from Team UNICEF Ethiopia Important results to which UNICEF Ethiopia, in cooperation with our partners, contributed in 2014 include: a reduction in neonatal mortality from 37 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2010 to 27 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2014; successful polio vaccination campaigns that kept Ethiopia polio free in 2014; a reduction in the proportion of stunted children from 58 percent in 2000 to 40 percent in 2014; the release of the CODE OF CONDUCT IN SCHOOLS, to reduce the incidence of school based violence; adoption of the National Social Protection Policy; a commitment by the Government of Ethiopia to end two major harmful traditional practices by 2025; establishment of vital events registration structures at national level and in four regional states; and launch of a Disaster Risk Management Policy and associated Strategic Framework. Responding to the emergency situation in Gambella Region was a priority in 2014 and we worked closely with Government and other partners to successfully implement key interventions in the health, nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene, education and protection sectors to address the humanitarian needs of South Sudanese refugees and vulnerable host communities. UNICEF Ethiopia would not have been able to contribute to these critical results for children and women without the support of our partners and donors throughout 2014, and for this we express our sincere gratitude. Our strong partnership with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees was particularly important in delivering the refugee response was a year of change for UNICEF Ethiopia. The Addis Ababa office relocated to new, purpose-built premises on the UN Economic Commission for Africa campus. This move was completed in a timely manner with minimal disruption to our programming. Sharing premises and services in order to improve efficiency is one of the principles of the UN Delivering as One initiative. We now share a building with other UN agencies, including the World Health Organization, and this will further enhance and facilitate our already close working relationships. Following the internal Mid-Term Review of the Country Programme that was conducted in mid some changes were made to the internal structure and organisation of our programmes to align them with UNICEF s Global Strategic Plan and further streamline operations and improve effectiveness and efficiency.

5 6 UNICEF Ethiopia/2014/Getachew Situation Analysis Allied with a reduction in stunting rates from 58 percent in 2000 to 40 percent in 2014 and a decline in underweight from 41 percent in 2000 to 25 percent in 2014, Ethiopia has reached Millennium Development Goal 1 and Target 1A of halving its extreme poverty from 61 percent to 31 percent. Ethiopia is expected to achieve the Millennium Development Goal 2 target related to gender parity in primary education, and has made significant strides towards improving primary school enrolment and completion, although this target may not be met by Millennium Development Goal 4, to reduce child mortality by two-thirds, has already been achieved, and the goals relating to HIV/AIDS and malaria (MDG6) are likely to be achieved by the end of Reducing maternal mortality by two-thirds (MDG5) and Promoting gender equality and empowering women (MDG3) remain serious challenges and the goals and targets may not be met by Gender equity in secondary education, violence against women and the need to empower girls remain high on the agenda. Ethiopia is on track to meet Millennium Development Goal Target 7C of halving the population without access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation. However, there is still a long way to go, given that the proportion of Ethiopians using improved sanitation facilities remains very low at around 30 percent. The progress recorded against the Millennium Development Goals reflects a strong commitment by the Government to invest in agriculture, education, health, and other pro-poor sectors and this is backed up by the most recent Growth and Transformation Plan report, which underlines that spending on pro-poor sectors reached 68 percent of general expenditure in 2013/14. Despite the significant progress made, poverty, malnutrition, mortality and vulnerability in Ethiopia remain high. A high population growth rate means that the total number of people in poverty has decreased only slightly from 28.8 million in 2004 to 27.1 million in At a current annual growth rate of nearly 3 percent, the population of Ethiopia is estimated to reach 130 million by 2025 and Ethiopia is projected to be among the world s ten most populous countries by Household vulnerability remains high, with an estimated 43 percent (46 percent in rural areas) of the population vulnerable to absolute poverty. Households with out of school children and youth are more vulnerable. Equitable uptake of health, nutrition and education services has improved through the Government s

6 7 UNICEF Ethiopia/2014/Ose ambitious Health Extension Programme, use of Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams and Alternative Basic Education initiatives, which focus on pastoralist and other communities that traditionally experience low access to services. Given Ethiopia s inherent vulnerability to climatic shocks, such as droughts and floods, and its perceived status as a safe haven for refugees fleeing unrest in neighbouring countries, humanitarian assistance continues to be a key component of the UNICEF Ethiopia country programme. Ethiopia is now the largest refugeehosting country in Africa with a total of 587,700 refugees in Ethiopia is now the largest refugee-hosting country in Africa with a total of 587,700 refugees in 2014.

7 8 UNICEF Ethiopia/2014/Tsegaye 03 UNICEF Ethiopia at a glance The Country Office in Addis Ababa is supported by zonal offices located in each of the eight regions of the country (see map 3.2, page 9). UNICEF Ethiopia employs some 400 highlyqualified and experienced staff, both international and national professionals, and leverages shorter term technical support from experienced development and humanitarian professionals. UNICEF Ethiopia s funding has been increasing annually in recent years and in 2014, through the generous support of our donors and partners, more than US$180 million was utilised for programmes benefiting the children and women of Ethiopia. The purpose of UNICEF s work is to support the realisation of the rights of every child, especially the most disadvantaged and excluded. Equity is a key principle of UNICEF s work, such that all children should have the opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favouritism. There is increasing evidence that a focus on the most disadvantaged and excluded children, families and communities accelerates progress towards fulfilment of the rights of all children and reduces disparities. UNICEF is uniquely positioned to perform this role, given its comparative advantages. These include: an explicit mandate based on the Convention on the Rights of the Child; proven capacity in multiple sectors; a strong field presence; and a mandate that embraces both long-term development and humanitarian response. The organisation s networking, convening and advocacy roles and its range of partnerships with Governmental and nongovernmental actors at all levels together support the development of collaborative, innovative and real-time solutions to the challenges and constraints that affect the realisation of the rights of children and women. In all of its work, UNICEF takes a life-cycle based approach to child development, which recognises key stages in a child s life as it grows into adulthood, and designs and implements holistic and integrated programmes that are appropriate to each of the key life stages. UNICEF Ethiopia s programmes contribute to the goals of the Ethiopian Government s National Growth and Transformation Plan through its contributions to the joint United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) The major focus areas of UNICEF Ethiopia s 2012-mid 2016 country programme are: 1. Survival and Health (Health, Nutrition, and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) 2. Learning and Development 3. Protective Environment and Disaster Risk Reduction

9 10 UNICEF Ethiopia/2012/Getachew 04 Key results achieved in Survival and Health Pneumonia, diarrhoea, and malaria are among the leading causes of mortality in children under five years of age in Ethiopia, where child mortality currently stands at 64 deaths per 1,000 live births, have been reduced from 205 in A significant proportion of the residual mortality is due to deaths among newborn babies (28 per 1,000 live births). Maternal mortality has also been greatly reduced from 1,067 deaths per 100,000 live births in 1990 to an estimated 350 deaths per 100,000 live births in However, this figure is still too high and Ethiopia will struggle to reach Millennium Development Goal target 5A (Reduce by three quarters, between 1990 and 2015, the maternal mortality ratio).

10 11 UNICEF Ethiopia/2013/Sewunet UNICEF Ethiopia and partners are supporting the Government to urgently address matern al and newborn mortality through a continuum of care framework. Essential services required to support a continuum of maternal and neonatal care, include: provision of essential nutrition services for expectant mothers and children under two years of age, and treatment services for severely acutely malnourished children; safe water, sanitation and hygiene facilities and practices; disease prevention and treatment; quality reproductive health services; adequate antenatal care; skilled assistance at delivery; basic and comprehensive emergency obstetric and newborn care; neonatal care; postnatal care; and Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illness. A specific example is the Enhancing Skilled Delivery in Ethiopia programme, which is a partnership between the European Union, UNICEF Ethiopia and the Federal Ministry of Health. The main objective of the project is to improve maternal and newborn health in Ethiopia, by supporting the health system to achieve national targets contained in the Health Sector Development Plan, as well as Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5. Specific objectives are to increase access to, and utilisation of quality maternal and newborn health services. In 2014, 1,000 nurses and midwives were trained and supported to provide basic Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care services and 5,000 Health Extension Workers were trained, mentored and equipped with essential drugs, other health commodities and mobile phones, to enable them to deliver community based Maternal and Neonatal Health services, refer patients to higher-level health facilities when necessary, and collect vital data for monitoring progress in service delivery. Competency-based training and supportive supervision for 384 nurses and midwives in Basic Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care were also supported. 350 nurses and midwives received training and supportive supervision on key skills for essential newborn care. The health programme also includes a Community-Based Neonatal Care component, which builds on the integrated Community Case Management platform and the national Health Extension Programme. The community-based component has been piloted in 13 zones in Amhara, Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples, Oromia and Tigray regions prior to national level implementation. 123 trainers of trainers were trained in 2014, and cascade training of colleagues in all of the supported zones is now underway. The interventions described above

11 12 UNICEF Ethiopia/2014/Ose have contributed to a rise in skilled birth attendance from 20 percent in 2012 to 41 percent in 2014, and this should help reduce maternal and neonatal mortality. To address the previously high levels of child mortality, the Government of Ethiopia launched the Health Extension Programme in 2003, which comprises a package of interventions tailored to the major causes of childhood mortality and morbidity. Initially, the focus was on basic prevention services (insecticide treated nets, vaccination), with best practices in primary health care being added over time. Community-based treatment of diarrhoea, pneumonia, malaria, severe acute malnutrition and, most recently, new-born sepsis and the inclusion of new vaccines, are all now central components of the programme. There are now more than 38,000 trained Health Extension Workers on the Government payroll. In 2014, UNICEF Ethiopia supported all regions to scale up, consolidate and improve quality of integrated Community Case Management services. All regions except Afar and Somali have attained full coverage. A total of 14,930 health posts (94 percent) were offering integrated Community Case Management services at end 2014 and over 5.6 million sick children under five years of age received care during the year. In 2014, equipment was provided to 500 Health Centres and 50 primary hospitals to enable them to provide basic and comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care services at a cost of approximately US$8.6 million. Thirty operating theatres in primary hospitals were also equipped to provide comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care services. UNICEF has been a key player in the Prevention of Mother-To-Child Transmission (PMTCT) of HIV and paediatric HIV interventions in Ethiopia since the commencement of the global response in the late 1990s. UNICEF Ethiopia supported establishment of the first PMTCT site in Mekelle and has continued to be on the frontline, providing advocacy and technical support for integrating HIV-related interventions within Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health services and rolling out Option B+. In partnership with the national and international health, population and development partners ensured that =about 61 percent of mothers with HIV in Ethiopia were in receipt of efficacious antiretrovirals by June An outbreak of polio occurred in the Horn of Africa in 2013, and 10 cases were detected in Ethiopia. In response to this outbreak, 11 vaccination campaigns (seven in 2014, including one round of National Immunization days or NIDs ) were conducted in addition to intensified vaccination activities in highrisk locations. For the polio outbreak response, UNICEF Ethiopia purchased more than 38 million doses of polio vaccine, plus an additional 8,000 vaccine carriers, and facilitated transportation of vaccines and supplies to hard-to-reach areas in Somali region. UNICEF Ethiopia also facilitated efforts by the Somali Regional Health Bureau to complete maintenance campaigns for cold chain equipment to ensure that vaccines were stored and transported under the correct conditions (temperature of 0-8 oc) to maintain their potency. UNICEF played a significant role in social mobilisation activities including campaign-related

12 13 In 2014, 1,000 nurses and midwives were trained and supported to provide basic Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care services and 5,000 Health Extension Workers were trained, mentored and equipped with essential drugs, other health commodities and mobile phones, to enable them to deliver community based Maternal and Neonatal Health services, refer patients to higher-level health facilities when necessary, and collect vital data for monitoring progress in service delivery. Competency-based training and supportive supervision for 384 nurses and midwives in Basic Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care were also supported. traditional and innovative activities. A social mobilisation network across Somali, Afar, Gambella and Benishangul-Gumuz regions has been maintained to strengthen and ensure quality social mobilisation activities. UNICEF developed a smart partnership with the Islamic Affairs Supreme Council (IASC) to support social mobilisation on polio and routine immunization through their widespread network in Somali region. UNICEF Ethiopia is an active member in coordination forums, task-force committees and working groups both at national and regional levels. These efforts appear to have been highly successful and Ethiopia has been polio-free since 5 January Article 7 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child specifies that every child has the right to be registered at birth without any discrimination. Birth registration and possession of a birth certificate can be considered a child s passport to protection, establishing the existence of the child under law and providing the foundation for safeguarding civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. As is the case in many developing countries, coverage of vital events registration services in Ethiopia, including birth registration, is low (7 percent in 2014). With support from UNICEF Ethiopia, birth registration is now a fully-fledged national programme. In 2014, UNICEF Ethiopia played an instrumental role in initiating a process to incorporate birth and death registration activities into health services. A high-level joint consultation involving federal and regional officials from the two sectors was supported by UNICEF Ethiopia, and as a result, the Ministry of Health and the Federal Vital Events Registration Agency have agreed to develop a bausiness process and adopt a Memorandum of Understanding to govern interoperability of birth registration and health services. The Vital Events Registration Agency is developing registration certificates, data capturing tools and manuals and these are expected to be finalised in Key messages to create demand for birth registration services have been integrated into the Family Health Guide, which is the national harmonised Information, Education and Communication tool for communities. Eight out of nine regional states and the two autonomous administrative cities have adopted regulations governing vital events registration and established an agency to coordinate and lead establishment of registration structures. Registration services are expected to commence in the third quarter of Major donors to UNICEF Ethiopia in the health sector include:the Government of the United States (USAID), The European Commission, the Government of the United Kingdom (DFID), the World Bank (P&R), the Government of Norway (RMNCH trust Fund), Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), the Government of Canada (DFATD, Micronutrient Initiative and Birth Registration for Maternal New-born and Child Health), ELMA Foundation, Margaret A. Cargill Foundation, the Government of Japan (JICA), the Government of Sweden (H4), the UAE Crown Prince Fund, the GAVI Vaccine Alliance Fund, Rotary International, the German Development bank, and UNICEF National Committees in Australia, Japan and Germany 1 Provision of lifelong anti-retroviral therapy for pregnant women living with HIV

13 14 Nutrition The Government of Ethiopia s revised 2013 National Nutrition Programme is implemented through a multisectoral approach to accelerated stunting reduction that focuses on the first 1,000 days of life as well as adolescence as the key lifecycle stages for intervention. A mini-demographic and Health Survey conducted in 2014 revealed that stunting decreased from 44 percent in 2011 to 40 percent in UNICEF Ethiopia contributed to this positive result through its support to Community Based Nutrition, provision of vitamin A and deworming, counselling on Infant and Young Child Feeding, the early warning system and treatment of severe acute malnutrition, integrated into the community health system across the country. In the developing regions of Afar, Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambella and Somali all services, except Community Based Nutrition, are implemented. In 2014, UNICEF Ethiopia supported the Federal Ministry of Health to provide nutrition services under the National Nutrition Programme. Support to community based nutrition allowed for monthly tracking of growth faltering for children under two years of age, and subsequent Infant and Young Child Feeding counselling in almost half of the rural districts. Additionally, through a mix of campaign and routine service delivery, approximately percent (based on administrative data) of all children aged 6-59 months were reached with vitamin A supplementation. Using the same platforms, screening and programme referral services for children aged 6-59 months and pregnant and lactating women found to be malnourished were also supported by UNICEF, as well as deworming treatment for children aged 2 to 5 years. UNICEF Ethiopia also strongly supported the establishment of multisectoral nutrition coordination mechanisms at national and regional levels under the National Nutrition Plan, building the platform for nutrition sensitive action as outlined in the plan. The Community Based Nutrition programme is primarily aimed at children under the age of two years and their mothers and caregivers and is being implemented in Tigray, Amhara, Oromia and Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples regions. The core package includes monthly growth monitoring for children and provision of age-specific counselling to improve child feeding - both exclusive breastfeeding as well as timely, adequate, quality, complementary food at the right frequency and promotion of hygiene and sanitation practices. Growth monitoring consists of routine measurements to detect abnormal growth, combined with interventions when this is detected, plus education of caregivers on appropriate nutrition practices. It aims to improve nutrition, reduce the risk of infectious disease and death or inadequate nutrition, and supports early referral of cases. The programme covers 378 woredas

14 15 UNICEF Ethiopia/2014/Tsegaye (districts). Data from August 2014 indicate that monthly Growth Monitoring and Promotion reaches 1,206,211 children (615,465 girls and 590,756 boys), a participation rate of more than 60 percent. Major donors to UNICEF Ethiopia in the health and nutrition sectors include: Government of Canada (DFATD), the UK Department for International Development, the Japanese Government, the Netherlands Government, the US Government, the Micronutrient Initiative, the Humanitarian Response Fund, and UNICEF National Committees. In 2014,UNICEF Ethiopia supported the Federal Ministry of Health to provide nutrition services under the National Nutrition Programme.

15 16 UNICEF Ethiopia/2014/Ose Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Access to and use of safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) are preconditions for a healthy life, as a lack of WASH facilities and a high prevalence of open defecation increase the risk of disease outbreaks and nutritional disorders. In Ethiopia, an estimated 60 to 80 percent of communicable diseases are attributed to limited access to safe water, inadequate sanitation and hygiene services. Water scarcity, poor water quality, lack of sanitation facilities and inappropriate hygiene behaviours also threaten the well-being of children in schools. Schools often lack separate boys and girls toilets and girls are often reluctant to use the facilities available, because they rarely provide the level of privacy and security required, especially in relation to menstrual hygiene. National targets are set in the WASH Universal Access Plan, which is implemented jointly by the Ministries of Education, Health, and Water, Irrigation and Energy. The One WASH National Programme, which brings together the Ministries of Water, Health, Education and Finance and principal development partners under a sector wide approach, was launched in September 2013 and is the Government s primary instrument for achieving the WASH-related goals of the national Growth and Transformation Plan. In 2014, a total of 658,038 people were provided with access to an improved water supply against an annual target of 887,500 people. Cumulatively, 2,571,447 people have been provided with improved water supply since 2012, which represents 99 percent of the country programme target. In terms of sanitation and hygiene activities, a total of 3,164,654 people gained access to self-constructed latrine facilities, which exceeds the country programme target of 2.6 million. Moreover, 6,415 villages became Open Defecation Free, which is 92 percent of the country programme national target of 7,000 villages. Under the urban WASH programme, environmental and social concerns have been incorporated into programme design, focusing primarily on environmentally sound criteria for water facilities, wastewater disposal, appropriate on-site latrine location and solid waste management. Environmental Impact and Social Assessments have been conducted in eight small towns and are being used to identify and evaluate in advance any effect (positive or negative), resulting from the implementation of urban WASH sub-programmes. Water utilities in the eight towns are being assisted to develop capacity to undertake environmental assessments of future water supply and sanitation developments. The programme also

16 17 UNICEF Ethiopia/ 2012/Tsegaye promotes environmentally friendly approaches, including: The use of renewable energy for water pumping; Minimising, recycling and re-using solid waste; Promotion of biogas production for cooking instead of firewood in selected areas; The use of ecological sanitation (reuse of human waste) especially in areas with high water table where groundwater could be contaminated by conventional pit latrines. In 2011, a National WASH Inventory was conducted throughout Ethiopia, except for Somali region. Data collection for this survey was paper based, and the huge volume of data collected, its quality, the expense (US$11 million) and the time needed to conduct basic analysis (two years) were all identified as major bottlenecks. In 2014, mobile phone technology and an online database system (Akvo FLOW software) were used to undertake the WASH inventory in Somali region. Use of mobile technologies has several advantages, including the ability to collect precise location information, using GPS, low data error rates due to real time monitoring, and low cost compared to paper based data collection. Following the successful demonstration of the feasibility of the data gathering and data importation processes, the Ministry of Water and Energy proposed updating the WASH Inventory data for the remaining regions using Akvo FLOW software and the new approach will be adopted for all future inventories. This exercise has resulted in a comprehensive national WASH Inventory, which serves as a useful tool for planning, resource allocations and targeting. Major funders contributing to UNICEF Ethiopia s WASH programmes include the Government of the United Kingdom (DFID), the Government of the Kingdom of Netherlands and the Government of Canada (DFATD).

17 18 UNICEF Ethiopia/ 2013/Ose 4.2. Learning and Development UNICEF Ethiopia supports achieving the goals of the Government of Ethiopia s Education Sector Development Plan IV goals to improve access to quality primary education so that all children, adolescents and adults participate fully in the social, economic and political development of the country. School enrolment in Ethiopia is relatively high (net enrolment ratio = 86 percent); however, more than three million children are still out of school. The dramatic increase in enrolment in recent years has given rise to challenges in ensuring the quality of education, including: high student-teacher ratios, insufficient classrooms, inadequate learning materials and a lack of trained teachers. To improve school readiness, UNICEF Ethiopia supported the scaling up of the Child-to-Child initiative, whereby grade 6 and 7 students are supported and trained to provide a 36 hour programme on school readiness to their siblings and other young children aged 3-6 in their community under the supervision of a teacher. Hence, 790 schools initiated a school readiness programme (cumulative total 4,300) through these two initiatives and 59,500 children (50 percent girls) across five regions have benefited. In 2014, UNICEF Ethiopia helped define a two-month Accelerated School Readiness programme that will help to support children who have no early learning experience to enter formal schooling with acceptable levels of school readiness, as measured by standardised school readiness instruments. The programme will be implemented in Benishangul-Gumuz in academic year The Ministry of Education has formed a steering committee and technical working group to support the implementation of Accelerated School Readiness, including: the development of materials; provision of technical support to the regions; and monitoring and evaluation support. To address equity issues in the delivery of education services, UNICEF Ethiopia supports the establishment of Alternative Basic Education learning spaces for grades one to four, with a focus on pastoralist and other disadvantaged communities. Fifty additional Alternative Basic Education centres were constructed in 2014 and a further 46 are under construction, benefiting 2,850 pastoralist children (50 percent female). This brings the total number of Alternative Basic Education centres to 197 at end In addition, 21 Alternative Basic Education centres were upgraded to second cycle primary. National WASH Inventory data show that only one third of schools have improved sanitation and water facilities for students and teachers. In 2014, 299 Schools were provided with the complete WASH package and 1,522 girls in lower secondary schools were supported with girls selected packages, which

18 19 UNICEF Ethiopia/ 2014/Ose include financial and tutorial support and menstrual hygiene management support. UNICEF Ethiopia is committed to support strengthening of national and sub-national data collection, analysis and use, including the systematic use of disaggregated data to enhance the equity focus of education policies and programmes. To this end, UNICEF supported the effective use of the Education Management Information System through training of 1,612 experts from the Federal Ministry of Education and four regions (Tigray, Afar, Somali and Benishangul-Gumuz) on education indicators, analysis and utilisation of data for evidence-based programming. Training was also provided on Global Positioning System data collection and interfacing the Education Management Information System with a Geographical Information System platform and Rapid Assessment and Mapping of Learning Spaces. The UNICEF Education programme is funded through a multi-donor partnership, which includes several UNICEF National Committees.

19 20 UNICEF Ethiopia/2014/Ayene 4.3. Protective environment disaster risk reduction UNICEF Ethiopia continued to support the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and the regional bureaus in the design and implementation of child friendly social welfare programmes. The Tigray Social Cash Transfer pilot, which provides a small cash payment to vulnerable households with children, persons with disabilities and the elderly, was benefiting 3,367 households at end Results of an evaluation indicate that the Social Cash Transfer programme positively impacts the lives of family members in supported households, with improvements reported in: health status; educational attainments of children; and improved social acceptance of recipients by their communities. Preliminary activities towards piloting the integrated social cash transfer with basic social services programme in two additional regions (Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples and Oromia) and development of social protection regional action plans are underway. Regional Agencies of Labor and Social Affairs are working on establishing community care structures, purchasing the required supplies, and recruiting Technical Assistants and social workers. Another significant result achieved during 2014, was the commitment made by the Government of Ethiopia at the July 2014 Girls Summit in London to eliminate Female Genital Mutilation / Cutting and End Child Marriage by Child marriage is a violation of human rights, compromising the development of girls and often resulting in early and complicated or life-threatening pregnancy and social isolation. Young married girls face onerous domestic burdens, constrained decision-making and reduced life choices. Female Genital Mutilation / Cutting is a fundamental violation of the rights of girls, and a form of gender discrimination. The practice is such a powerful social norm that families have their daughters cut even when they are aware of the harm it can cause. With support from UNICEF Ethiopia, the Ministry of Women, Children and Youth Affairs adopted a National Harmful Traditional Practices strategy, with a related action plan and social norm change communication strategy. UNICEF Ethiopia s engagement in Ending Child Marriage and Female Genital Mutilation / Cutting was further solidified with the development of a national results framework with the involvement of five regions. In Amhara Region a fully-fledged ending child marriage programme was designed and an annual work plan has been signed. Afar and Somali regions have not yet endorsed the Revised Family Law (2000) and children aged 15 years can still legally marry in these regions. UNICEF supported the Ministry of Women, Children and Youth Affairs in realising the London Commitment through supporting a study on Harmful Traditional Practices and providing capacity building support to the national alliance on ending such practices. UNICEF Ethiopia also supported a consensus-building workshop for Islamic religious leaders that resulted

20 21 in a declaration to address Harmful Traditional Practices and supported the launch of the African Union s Ending Child Marriage campaign. Justice for children interventions are designed to provide child-sensitive procedures or services for all children in contact with the justice system and in the case of children convicted of crimes, to promote their rehabilitation and reintegration into society. In 2014, UNICEF Ethiopia provided technical and financial support towards the expansion and strengthening of the child friendly justice package. The high-level child justice peer review platform, which involves presidents of the Federal Supreme Court and presidents of Regional Supreme Courts, is leading the formal integration of the programme into Government structures. Improving access to comprehensive, survivorfriendly services is a key strategy to address Violence against Women and Children and UNICEF Ethiopia provided technical and financial support to strengthen services for survivors of violence in Addis Ababa, Oromia, and Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples regions. In Addis Ababa and Adama town, Oromia region, these services are provided through onestop centres, while five other regions are providing comprehensive services through referral pathways and special investigation and prosecution units. An important manifestation of the Government s commitment to childfriendly justice systems is the inclusion of 56 social workers who support children in the justice system on the Government payroll. At federal level, nine social workers were recruited through Government budget lines to support child friendly benches in Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa autonomous administration cities. Amhara Region has approved positions for 46 social workers to assist children undergoing justice processes. UNICEF, through the child-justice peer review platform, is advocating with other regional states to follow a similar path. In 2014, 600 justice professionals were trained on child justice administration at all levels. Similarly, in order to bridge gaps in technical knowledge and expertise on the management of community based diversion programmes, training was organised for relevant representatives of justice and social welfare bureaus from three regions. Professionals based in the regions participated in a study tour to a community based diversion facility in Addis Ababa. UNICEF Ethiopia and the Regional Supreme Court and the Bureau of Justice have jointly agreed to establish

21 22 Child Protection Units and Child Friendly Benches in Special Prosecution Units in 35 woredas (districts) throughout Somali Region, with financial support from the UK Department for International Development. With the support of UNICEF Ethiopia, an essential minimum package and standards on HIV and violence prevention, youth friendly services, skills training, and livelihoods training, are now in place. Advocacy efforts helped mobilise the participation of key stakeholders at national, woreda (district) and community levels to create an enabling environment for implementation of the essential package. This was achieved in partnership with the Federal HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Office, the Ministry of Women, Children and Youth Affairs, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education and the UN system. Fifteen universities, 85 high schools and 68 youth centres in six regions are implementing the minimum HIV/AIDS intervention package that includes behavioural, structural and biomedical services. UNICEF Ethiopia supported the Ministry of Women, Children and Youth Affairs to develop a national Youth Information Management System to facilitate access to information and data on services for young people including adolescents for use by policy-makers, UN agencies, youth organisations, non-governmental organisations, academics, and voluntary organisations. Progress was also made towards development of a child well-being information management system. A communication strategy for Most At Risk Adolescents was finalised and will be launched in January More than 14,650 adolescents and youth were reached with direct HIV/ AIDS youth friendly services, including HIV prevention, behavioural change interventions, peer education, Training of Trainers on youth dialogue, HIV testing and counselling and leadership skills training in 66 woredas (districts). Simultaneously, more than 38,000 young people benefited from youth centre services and 530 boys and girls received life skills training. With regard More than 14,650 adolescents and youth were reached with direct HIV/ AIDS youth friendly services to livelihoods, 735 boys and girls in Amhara, Oromia, Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples and Tigray regions benefited from livelihood and

22 23 UNICEF Ethiopia/2013/Ayene entrepreneurship skills training which assisted them in reducing their vulnerability to school dropout, HIV/AIDS, illegal migration, sexual exploitation andviolence. The UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children encourage efforts to keep children with their families, wherever possible. When this is not in the child s best interest, the State is responsible for protecting the rights of the child and ensuring appropriate alternative care, which can include: kinship care, foster care, other forms of family-based or familylike care, residential care or supervised independent living arrangements. The quality of alternative care is critical to child well-being and children in longterm residential care are at risk of impaired cognitive, social and emotional development (particularly those below the age of three years). The implementation of appropriate Alternative Care interventions progressed well in 2014, particularly in relation to the de-institutionalisation and placement of an increased number of children from assessed child care institutions into family based care. In 2014, a total of 1,542 children living in child care institutions and street children were placed in alternative family based care. 65 children (48 male, 17 female) in interim care benefited from financial support and 298 reunified children received life skills and business skills training. Moreover, various capacity building trainings have been conducted for 695 staff at regional Bureaus of Women, Children and Youth Affairs, and community care coalition members and parents. Main donors in support of UNICEF s Child Protection work include: The Governments of Canada, Norway and the UK and several UNICEF national committees. 65 children (48 male, 17 female) in interim care benefited from financial support and 298 reunified children received life skills and business skills training.

23 Analysis, Communication and Participation UNICEF works with its partners to generate evidence for programming by supporting the design of research and data collection, forming partnerships for conducting research and strengthening quality assurance mechanisms. Evidence generated from research is used to support programming, policy dialogue and advocacy. Partnerships are being built with international and national universities to strengthen links between research and policy for the realisation of children s and women s rights. UNICEF Ethiopia works with Government Ministries (Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, Ministry of Women, Children and Youth Affairs, Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, and the Federal Ministry of Health), the Central Statistical Agency, the Ethiopia Public Health Institute and non-government partners (United States Agency for International Development, the UK Department for International Development, Irish Aid, and the UN Population Fund) to increase national capacity for evidence generation and use. To increase the effective utilisation of research products during the second phase of implementation of the national Growth and Transformation Plan, efforts towards the establishment of a Policy Research Hub with the National Planning Commission have commenced. Several analyses and evaluations were developed and disseminated in Examples include: a situation analysis in the national language, with videos covering various themes; further analysis of the 2011 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey looking at child poverty,mortality and women; and a fact book on women and children. National level surveys and key research analysis in the areas of child marriage, child mortality, child poverty, child labour, health equity and regional situation analysis (five regional analyses) are expected to be published in 2015 and are likely to influence the content and direction of the next Growth and Transformation Plan and related sector strategies. Across Ethiopia, it has been increasingly recognised that national development goals can only be achieved when they are translated into action at sub-national levels and when local actors are actively involved in planning, implementation and monitoring of actions. In 2001, the Government of Ethiopia introduced the Woreda Decentralization Policy, which provides woreda (district) administrations with the legal, institutional and financial basis for managing local development. Within this decentralisation framework, UNICEF Ethiopia supports capacity building in Integrated Community UNICEF Ethiopia supports capacity building in Integrated Community Based Participatory Planning.

24 25 UNICEF Ethiopia/2014/Sewunet based Participatory Planning. Kebeles (sub-districts), woredas and sector bureaus are supported to develop integrated development plans through identification of grassroots level opportunities and obstacles and prioritisation of actions with the full participation of the community. In 2014, 49,500 Integrated Community-based Participatory Planning field guide manuals were distributed to 284 woredas and their kebeles and 545 individuals were trained as trainers. Community participation in the planning process has led to an expansion of public services relevant to the specific needs of the communities. It also enhances social cohesion, and facilitates discussions and information flow around development issues. A major focus of UNICEF Ethiopia s External Communications work in 2014 was supporting advocacy around Millennium Development Goals 3 and 5, particularly the issue of preventable maternal, newborn and child deaths. UNICEF Ethiopia supported the national launch of The Lancet medical journal s thematic series Every Newborn. UNICEF Ethiopia s national Ambassador Hannah Godefa played a key role in raising the visibility of this issue through the Toronto, Canada Summit on Maternal, Newborn and Child Health in May The Minister of Health participated in the Annual Committing to Child Survival: A Promise Renewed meeting in Washington, DC. In April 2014, the European Union announced a 40.2 million grant to the Federal Ministry of Health and UNICEF through the Enhancing Skilled Delivery in Ethiopia project. Girl s Empowerment and ending harmful traditional practices were given enormous visibility through: The Girls Summit in London; the Campaign to End Child Marriage in Africa; the International Day of the Girl Child and the 25th Anniversary celebration of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. In 2014, UNICEF Ethiopia coordinated 40 country visits for its partners, including UN officials, foundations, partners, donors, governments and UNICEF National Committees. The strategic use of events and visits optimised advocacy opportunities, strengthened partnerships, increased visibility, and increased funding. UNICEF Ethiopia is embracing new social media and maintains a website (including a partnership section), a Facebook page, a blog and a Twitter account alongside other social media tools. Discussions with several private sector partners are ongoing as to explore shared value partnerships. Through the European Union Africa Nutrition Security Partnership programme, 70 journalists across the country were trained to enhance reporting and public information on nutrition issues. Main donors include the Government of Ireland and the One UN fund.

25 Emergency In 2014, UNICEF Ethiopia responded to three major humanitarian situations: an influx of refugees from South Sudan, chronic food insecurity and nutrition emergencies, and population displacements as a result of conflict and flooding. According to the 2014 Humanitarian Requirements Document, the Government of Ethiopia and humanitarian partners estimated that 3.2 million individuals required emergency relief food assistance in In 2014, 660,987 refugees, mainly from South Sudan (38 percent), Somalia (37 percent), Eritrea (19 percent) and Sudan (5 percent) were residing in Ethiopia, with more than 235,640 arriving in 2014 alone, making Ethiopia the largest refugee hosting country in Africa. During the year, 191,686 South Sudanese refugees arrived in Gambella region of Ethiopia following inter-communal conflict that erupted in South Sudan in December 2013 and emergency response for these refugees and vulnerable host communities was a major component of UNICEF Ethiopia s programmes in UNICEF developed a multi-sectoral response plan for Gambella to address the humanitarian needs of the South Sudanese refugees and vulnerable host communities based on the following three pillars: 1) technical assistance and service delivery in the refugee camps through secondment of five technical staff to the UNHCR programme structure in Gambella in the areas of education, child protection, health, nutrition and WASH; 2) supporting the asylum seekers and vulnerable host communities at the border crossing points and in the refugee camps; and 3) conflict sensitive programming. Due to the influx of South Sudanese refugees, UNICEF in coordination with UNHCR developed a programme which addressed the psychosocial needs of the refugees and provided coordination support at community and refugee camp level. Another important focus area of UNICEF was to support community-based structures at woreda level in order to put in place an effective referral system to provide access to comprehensive services for children. UNICEF s support to UNHCR in Gambella Region was based on a joint action plan developed together with the Regional Government of Gambella and humanitarian actors. In 2014, UNICEF established 17 Child Friendly Spaces in the refugee camps and host communities reaching an average of 26,000 children on a monthly basis. UNICEF provided technical support to enhance child protection mechanisms in the camps through building the capacity of social/community workers and establishing Child Protection Information Management System to enable case management of the most vulnerable children. UNICEF also supported Save the Children International and Administration for Refugees and Returnees Affairs to identify and register 5,693 separated children and unaccompanied children, of whom

26 27 UNICEF Ethiopia/2014/Sewunet 215 were reunified with their families in Gambella refugee camps. A total of 30,331 children accessed psychosocial support, and 300 children received referral support. During the second half of 2014, 201 volunteers and Government officials were trained on Child Protection in Emergencies allowing them to better respond to cases of abuse, exploitation and violence against children during emergencies. As a combined result of child protection interventions, children and communities are provided with safeguards and are better equipped to prevent violence, abuse and exploitation. In Gambella, with UNICEF support, between January and November 2014, 117,542 refugee children between the ages of 6 months and 15 years were vaccinated against measles and 98,289 refugee children under 15 years of age received oral polio vaccine, while 51,913 refugee children aged 6 months to 5 years received vitamin A supplementation at the entry points and in the refugee camps. With UNICEF support, 24 water schemes were constructed to provide access to water for an estimated 13,570 people - both refugees and host community members in Gambella Region. UNICEF Ethiopia is supporting the establishment of a permanent water system in Kule and Tierkidi refugee camps that is expected to serve some 120,000 refugees and host community members. Safe access to potable water of sufficient minimum quantities was provided to 102,167 men, women, girls and boys in line with minimum international standards and 251,563 emergency affected people participated in various hygiene promotion activities. Emergency latrine facilities were constructed to meet the needs of an estimated 150,000 refugees. The Ethiopian academic year commences in mid-september and a back to school campaign was conducted in 2014 by UNICEF Ethiopia in collaboration with UNHCR, Administration for Refugees and Returnees Affairs, Save the Children International and Plan International. The objective of the campaign was to ensure access to education for all eligible children (grades I-IV) and commence regular classes from September UNICEF Ethiopia provided school supplies for the children, materials for the establishment of temporary learning centres and supported training of 157 refugee teachers from Kule and Tierkidi refugee camps. Following the Back-to-school campaign, enrolment of school aged children increased and 39,814 children had entered schools by December 2014 (50 percent of all schoolaged children). With leadership and support from UNICEF Ethiopia, a third round of standardised teacher training was completed for refugee teachers in Leitchour refugee camp. The Regional Education Bureau, with support from UNICEF Ethiopia, trained 304 refugee teachers, providing them with standard skills that will potentially benefit over 30,000 refugee children. The first round of teachers training for around 160 teachers (22 female) in host communities of Itang, Lare, Abobo, and Gog woredas was conducted in October Training of these teachers should benefit over 16,000 primary school children.

27 28 Around 116,000 Ethiopian children affected by various emergencies were able to continue their education due to the learning and teaching supplies provided by UNICEF. In addition, 5,400 Sudanese refugee primary school children benefited from improved quality education and education supplies through a partnership between the Norwegian Refugee Council and UNICEF in Assosa refugee camps of Benishangul-Gumuz Region. In 2014, an increased arrival of Eritrean refugees was registered in Tigray Region of Ethiopia. The majority of the new arrivals are young men. In November, 3,588 newly arriving refugees were registered. In the four refugee camps hosting Eritrean refugees in Shire, Tigray Region, UNHCR and UNICEF provided psychosocial support to 11,437 refugee children between the ages of 6-17 years (6,666 girls) in eight Child Friendly Spaces. In addition, case management support reached 1,739 unaccompanied and separated children. In 2014, UNICEF also seconded an international child protection officer to support UNHCR with the coordination of child protection emergency preparedness and response, as well as with the provision of technical support to child protection partners. At the end of 2014, UNICEF signed a Programme Cooperation Agreement with Norwegian Refugee Council for school construction and provision of education supplies with the aim of improving access and quality education in Shire refugee camps benefitting 3,200 Eritrean refugee children. In partnership with Save the Children International, promotion of Infant and Young Child Feeding was implemented in two refugee camps (Kobe and Hallaweyn) in Somali Region. Accordingly, 4,100 pregnant and lactating mothers with children under the age of 2 attended individual and group sessions and more than 8,200 children (ages 3-6 years) accessed quality education opportunities. UNICEF and Save the Children succeeded in reaching around 2,220 vulnerable children (45 percent girls) through Child Friendly Spaces in Kobe and Hallaweyn refugee camps. A total of 206 unaccompanied and separated children were identified, registered and provided with alternative care services. A total of 100 vulnerable girls participated in a vocational skills programme. In 2014, normal to above normal rainfall led to improved food security and nutritional outcomes for the country as a whole. However, an estimated 3.2 million people required emergency food aid and an estimated 264,298 severely malnourished children required treatment. UNICEF Ethiopia continued to contribute to building the resilience of vulnerable communities affected by chronic food insecurity. Using the Health Extension Programme, a package of services including management of severe acute malnutrition, micronutrient supplementation and promotion of vital events registration has been established and scaled up. By the end of September, the Federal Ministry of Health, UNICEF and non-governmental organisations had treated 194,697 severely malnourished children through the Community Management of Acute Malnutrition programme. UNICEF supported mobile health and nutrition teams, in providing life-saving care to 224,379 people in hard-to-reach communities in

28 29 UNICEF Ethiopia/2014/Tsegaye Afar and Somali regions. UNICEF and its partners improved access to clean water for an estimated 699,000 people. Due to floods in Afar, Oromia, Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples and Somali regions, WASH support was provided to displaced persons who lost their properties and crops. Safe access to potable water of sufficient minimum quantities was provided to 474,724 men, women, girls and boys in line with minimum international standards and 325,000 emergency affected people participated in various hygiene promotion activities. Around 116,000 Ethiopian children affected by various emergencies were able to continue their education due to the learning and teaching supplies provided by UNICEF. In December 2014, the Government of Ethiopia launched the Disaster Risk Management Policy and its Strategic Programme Investment Framework to address chronic vulnerabilities of populations. UNICEF Ethiopia provided technical support to eight regional governments (Afar, Amhara, Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambella, Oromia, Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples, Somali, and Tigray) to develop regional Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans. In response to the global Ebola outbreak, UNICEF has been supporting the Government s national Ebola Technical Working Group to develop information, education and communication materials and procure personal protective equipment and supplies. The total gross emergency food and non-food requirement for 2014 was calculated at US$403 million. UNICEF Ethiopia appealed for US$36,086,000 to meet the humanitarian needs of children in 2014, and this was subsequently revised to US$42,311,000 to reflect the additional resources needed for the South Sudan refugee crisis. A total of US$32,000,000 (76 percent of the revised requirement) was received. Key donors to UNICEFs emergency work in 2014 include: The Government of the United Kingdom (DFID); UN Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (CERF, HRF); The Government of the United States of America (USAID, OFDA and BPRM) The German Development Bank/KfW the Government of Japan; ECHO;

29 30 05Internal Risk Management / Systems Ensuring that UNICEF s programmes are being implemented according to agreements entered into with the Government of Ethiopia, donors and partners and ensuring that the populations served are receiving the best possible services is a top priority. UNICEF Ethiopia is at the forefront of implementing a key UN risk management and mitigation tool, the Harmonized Approach to Cash Transfers (HACT), as its foremost platform to deliver on this priority. HACT provides the UN with a harmonised tool to formally assess partners implementing programmes and subsequently put in place defined risk mitigation and monitoring efforts depending on the risk rating identified in the assessment.

31 32 UNICEF Ethiopia/2014/Ose 06 Supply UNICEF plays an important role in coordinating procurement of essential commodities such as vaccines to help governments to benefit from lower costs and better quality control. In 2014, UNICEF Ethiopia s total procurement value was estimated at US$137 million. This figure includes programme supplies valued at US$48 million, of which the local procurement component is valued at US$16.9 million. Procurement services totalling US$70 million were provided on behalf of the Government of Ethiopia, of which US$56.8 million represents vaccination-related goods procured for the GAVI Alliance. Excluding procurement services, expenditures on procurement represent 34 percent of the total UNICEF Country Programme budget of US$192 million.

32 33 UNICEF Ethiopia/2013/Ose 07Our partners - donors and implementing partners As an organisation, UNICEF is committed to engaging in national and global partnerships to inspire and mobilise others to work together towards the realisation of equitable results for children. UNICEF Ethiopia is determined to use the strength of partnership to achieve positive results for children and women in Ethiopia and continues to seek out new and innovative partnership opportunities.

36 37 08Looking forward to will be a critical year for identifying the issues that will need to be addressed to ensure sustainable development in Ethiopia beyond the Millennium Development Goal deadline of These will include: accelerated progress on civil registration; maternal and neonatal mortality; adolescent pregnancy; harmful traditional practices, including child marriage and Female Genital Mutilation / Cutting; girls empowerment; and building social protection systems to ensure future inclusive growth as Ethiopia aims to become a medium income country. Disparities continue to be a challenge to sustainable development, particularly in the four Developing Regional States of Afar, Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambella and Somali and appropriate strategies to reach the unreached and improve equity of opportunity will be required. UNICEF Ethiopia will continue to work with the Government of Ethiopia to help build community resilience and implement community-based interventions that improve access to quality social services, including health, nutrition, education and protection. In 2015, UNICEF Ethiopia will contribute to data collection and knowledge management through supporting key surveys such as the Child Labour Survey, Demographic and Health Survey, Welfare Monitoring Survey and Household Income Consumption Expenditure Survey. UNICEF Ethiopia looks forward to working with the Government and our international and national donors and partners to build on the achievements already made in terms of national development and to guarantee the rights of all women and children in Ethiopia.
