4 EHF 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 4 FOREWORD Last year was yet another challenging year particularly for the lowlands of Southern and South-eastern parts of Ethiopia that faced consecutive failed / poorly performing rains; acute food insecurity; severe malnutrition (exceeding emergency thresholds in some areas); depleted livestock assets; disease outbreaks and large-scale climate and conflict-induced displacements. The Government and humanitarian partners managed to avert a major humanitarian catastrophe in the country for the second year in a row. More than US$1 billion was mobilized for multi-sector response during the year, including to routinely assist 8.5 million people with relief food and cash. It was also the busiest year for the Ethiopia Humanitarian Fund (EHF) both in terms of income, allocation and number of projects supported. The Fund received $104.4 million (including $22 million carryover from 2016) from eight donors - Ireland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Republic of Korea, United Kingdom and United States of America. Over $94.2 million of the funds received were allocated through four allocations, supporting 124 multi-sector projects. The Fund financed some 18 per cent of total non-food requirements identified in the Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD, equivalent of the global Humanitarian Response Plan). I am proud to note that this is in line with the Secretary-General s Agenda for Humanity proposition of a minimum financial package, whereby the share of Appeal funding channelled through country-based pooled funds (CBPFs) is increased to at least 15 per cent. In line with the New Way of Working (NWoW) and recognizing the recurrence and predictability of droughts in Ethiopia, the Government and humanitarian and development partners have begun a process to gradually shift the strategic and operational approach in addressing humanitarian needs in the longer term. To this end, the 2018 HRD newly named Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP) - represents a first step towards the development of a multi-year planning framework that will seek to increase the quality and predictable delivery of required multi-sector humanitarian response; mitigate future needs in areas that experience recurrent climate-induced shock; support the strengthening of national service provision to address chronic and acute needs; and the recovery of affected communities. The EHF will continue to support priorities in the 2018 HDRP as further guided by the inter-cluster prioritization exercise, which is endorsed by the Ethiopian Humanitarian Country Team. Without losing its life saving focus, the Fund will strategically engage to support prevention, recovery and national system strengthening in support of the NWoW and inline with the HDRP. Most of the 2017 humanitarian needs are expected to remain in 2018 given insufficient recovery opportunities; the prevalence of risk factors for communicable disease outbreaks such as Acute Watery Diarrhoea and measles; as well as large scale displacement due to drought and violence. Chronic shortages of water and fodder is already observed in most parts of the current drought-belt. In line with forecasts put forth by meteorologists and climate experts, including the National Meteorological Agency (NMA) and FEWSNET, the impact of the ongoing La Niña phenomenon has so far led to reduced performance of spring rains over southern and eastern lowland areas, expected to negatively affect the recovery of pastures and improvement of livestock body conditions. Similar levels of financial support will be required early in the year to address immediate priority humanitarian needs and to protect development gains. I am confident that a well-funded and coordinated humanitarian response coupled with a recovery plan will enable Ethiopia maintain its development trajectory; continue to play it crucial regional security role; and maintain its generous open door policy hosting more than 900,000 refugees, one of the largest refugee-hosting nations in the world.

7 EHF 2017 ANNUAL REPORT IN REVIEW HUMANITARIAN CONTEXT Throughout 2017, the Government of Ethiopia and humanitarian partners responded to the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian context mainly due to drought and conflict. The year began with 5.6 million people requiring relief food assistance as a result of the impact of the Indian Ocean Dipole-induced drought in southern and south-eastern Ethiopia. The 2017 Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) 1 requested nearly $1 billion for multi-sector response to save lives and livelihoods. At mid-year, the number of people requiring relief food spiked to 8.5 million raising the funding requirements to $1.26 billion. An additional 4.1 million public works clients of the Productive Safety Net Programme, who are not included in the HRD estimates, continued to require relief assistance during the year. The under-performance of the 2017 spring (February - May) rains - making it the third consecutive poor/failed rains in the southern and south-eastern lowlands - contributed to the deteriorated humanitarian situation. Areas needing urgent nutrition support (priority one woredas/districts) increased slightly mid-year from 454 to 461, nearly half of which were classified as priority one (very severe) while targeted supplementary feeding needs increased by 76,000 under five children to 376,000 cases. Pastoral communities entirely dependent on their livestock bore the brunt of the drought crisis. Risk factors 17% such as chronic water scarcity continued to drive livestock deaths (including 33% drought resistant varieties), displacement and disease outbreaks, particularly Acute Watery Diarrhea 20% (AWD). Adding another layer of complexity to an already dire humanitarian situation was the upsurge in violence along the 30% Oromia and Somali regional borders in early September According to NDRMC estimates, some 857,000 conflict-displaced persons (IDPs) fleeing violence or fear of violence were settled in close to 400 sites, across Oromia, Somali, Harar regions often in areas experiencing ongoing drought-related humanitarian need as well as the cities of Dire Dawa and Addis Ababa. The conflict and subsequent population displacements while generating major humanitarian needs and protection concerns disrupted delivery of humanitarian assistance. Flash floods caused by the overflow of Awash, Wabe Shebelle, Baro rivers and backflow of Lake Tana affected 300,000 people in Afar, Amhara, Gambella, Oromia and Somali regions, of whom at least 100,000 displaced. The drastic escalation in the number of IDPs and associated multi-sector needs, the dire nutrition situation in Somali region, harvest losses due to failed or delayed rains and the impact of Fall Armyworm infestation necessitated a further upward revision of the HRD requirement to $1.42 billion by mid-october. Adding to these in-country challenges was the continued crossing of refugees into Ethiopia from war torn and drought affected neighboring countries. Influx of South Sudanese refugees fleeing renewed conflict in Maiwut, Mathiang and Pagak areas led to the establishment of new reception centres and expansion of existing camps in Gambella and Beneshangul Gumuz regions. The 2017 HRD requirement was 81 per cent funded, with some 8.5 million people assisted with relief food and cash, more than 1.6 million moderately malnourished children under-5 were supported with supplementary feeding and 256,000 severely malnourished children were enrolled in therapeutic feeding programs. At least 73,000 full ES/NFI kits were distributed to displaced households, including 9,500 households assisted with cash grants. Some 4.8 million people also benefited from health services, while several thousand were supported in the WaSH, Education, Protection and Agriculture sectors. With predictions that the current scenario will likely deteriorate further due to the potential impact of a La Niña on the 2018 spring rains, chronic water and fodder shortages in the current drought belt, and the potential for a new larger scale AWD outbreak after February 2018, Government and partners are calling for continuation of current levels of support going into % 48% 37% 1 The HRD is the common plan and implementation framework to address humanitarian needs in Ethiopia.

9 EHF 2017 ANNUAL REPORT IN REVIEW ABOUT THE ETHIOPIA HUMANITARIAN FUND Established in 2006, the EHF responds to disasters triggered by natural hazards, such as droughts, floods and outbreaks of diseases, as well as conflict-related crises. The EHF aims to support the timely disbursement of funds to the most critical humanitarian needs in the context of both the annual HRD and emerging unforeseen emergency needs. Donor contributions to the EHF are un-earmarked. The HC allocates funding through a consultative process, based on identified humanitarian needs and priorities at the country level. Inclusivity, flexibility, timeliness, efficiency and Accountability & Risk Management are the five global principles which underpin the use of the EHF. Since its inception in 2006, the EHF has mobilized $465.8 million and allocated $456.1 million to 735 projects through 59 partners, including UN agencies and NGOs. Objectives of the EHF The EHF enables the delivery of humanitarian assistance by specifically focusing on: 1. Ensuring more adequate, timely, flexible and effective humanitarian financing using the pooled funding mechanism; 2. Ensuring well prioritized use of resources, primarily in support of the needs and strategies outlined in the national HRD; 3. Empowering the Humanitarian Coordinator to enhance coordination; 4. Supporting coordination efforts through the cluster approach; 5. Enhancing partnerships between UN and non-un actors. Allocation parameters The maximum allowable grant amount will be determined and disbursed in tranches on the basis of project duration, partner capacity and risk levels. Funding Recipients EHF funding is available to eligible EHF recipients including UN agencies, NGOs and the Ethiopian Red Cross. To be considered eligible for funding, NGOs must participate in the due diligence and capacity assessment processes. EHF funds are channelled through partners that are best placed to deliver prioritized activities in accordance with the agreed strategy and humanitarian principles in a timely, and effective manner. Leadership and Governance The activities of the EHF are carried out under the HC s overall leadership. Supporting the HC are the Advisory and Review Boards, as well as an OCHA-led Humanitarian Financing Unit (HFU) that fulfils the EHF s secretariat functions. The HC chairs the Advisory Board which includes seniorlevel participation of donors, UN organizations (in their capacity as cluster lead agencies) and NGO representatives. Cluster coordinators play a key role in prioritization as well as project review at both strategic and technical levels in consultation with government counterparts. OCHA chairs the Review Board, which includes technical experts representing UN agencies, international and national NGOs, government and the Ethiopian Red Cross. Humanitarian donors attend as observers. Allocation modalities The EHF allocates funds through the Standard and Reserve windows. At the HC s discretion and following the HRD release and inter-agency prioritization exercise, the Fund issues a Standard Allocation for collectively identified strategic needs. The cluster coordinators drive the prioritization exercise and the HC in consultation with the Advisory Board (AB) will determine the amount to be allocated through the Standard Allocation. The Reserve Allocation is open for proposals throughout the year, responding to humanitarian needs identified in the HRD and other emerging humanitarian needs.

10 EHF 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 10 HOW DOES THE ETHIOPIA HUMANITARIAN FUND WORK?

11 EHF 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 11 Accountability Framework The EHF accountability framework strikes a balance between assisting people in need, while implementing viable and effective oversight mechanisms. These accountability management efforts include: a Risk Management Framework that identifies risks to the EHF, analyse their potential impact, and create strategies to mitigate them; governance mechanisms (i.e. HC, OCHA Head of Office, Advisory and Review Boards; Inter-Cluster Coordination Forum) to ensure the transparency and quality of allocation decisions; verification of partner eligibility and capacity through clear due diligence and capacity assessment processes; tracking performance of each grant recipient throughout the project implementation and closeout; development of clear monitoring, reporting and audit requirements; Gender considerations The EHF includes the utilization of the IASC Gender Marker as a requirement for funding consideration. Project proposal are reviewed to ensure appropriate application of gender codes considering the different needs of the various groups in humanitarian programming. Transparency The OCHA HFU generates periodic public information products during the year with information on donor contributions and allocations including EHF Updates, Allocation Dashboards and costing matrix. The EHF Annual Report, published at the beginning of the second quarter of the following year, features achievements, best practices, lessons learned and challenges reported by implementing partners 2. Allocation Overview The EHF allocation modalities are structured under the Standard and Reserve windows. A Standard Allocation is triggered following the launch of the HRD and a subsequent prioritization exercise jointly undertaken by the Government and key humanitarian partners that clarifies acute relief needs and priority funding gaps intended to inform donor funding decisions. A Reserve Allocation is the type of fund- ing modality, through which the EHF remains open for business throughout the year, availing timely and flexible response in the context of the HRD and other emerging needs. Subject to funding availability, the HC in close consultation with the EHF Advisory Board follows these processes with allocation announcements. The cluster coordinators drive the detailed allocation process within the agreed upon procedures and timeframes. The EHF provided more than $94.2 million supporting 124 multi-sector projects and covering nearly 18 per cent of the total non-food requirements identified in the 2017 HRD. The first and last allocations in 2017 were made to address the funding requirements between the end of the year and the first quarter of the following year. The first three allocations were made through the standard window (following the HRD revision, prioritization exercise and through a call for proposals) and the final bridging allocation, through the reserve window. In coherence with the HRD, the allocations prioritized activities that were lifesaving, with immediate and highest impact, addressing the needs of the most vulnerable. Activities that were responsive to the sectoral plans and with coverage of the highest level of geographical prioritization as identified in the Government s hotspot woreda classifications were selected. Projects designed to be cost efficient and submitted by organizations consistently engaged in federal and local coordination efforts were prioritized. Importantly, projects considered as critically enabling that facilitate the timely delivery of other programs (supplies, procurement and logistics related projects) were supported. The HRD identified three Strategic Objectives to guide humanitarian action in 2017: 1) Save lives and reduce morbidity related to drought; 2) Protect and restore livelihoods; and 3) Prepare for and respond to other humanitarian shocks - natural disasters, conflict and displacement. All allocations were made in response to Strategic Objectives identified in the HRD. The mutually-reinforcing strategic objectives developed to guide the allocations in 2017 included (i) ensuring coherence with needs-assessment findings; (ii) emphasizing cross-cutting issues, in particular humanitarian protection, accountability to affected populations, do no harm, protection and gender; (iii) enhancing links between operational and strategic objectives; and (iv) supporting and strengthening Government coordination and response mechanisms. 2

12 EHF 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 12 All applications received through the two windows were subject to technical review, led by cluster coordinators, and a second-round appraisal by the EHF Review Board to ensure strategic coherence, cost-effectiveness and timely response. As a result of the emergence of a new drought in eastern and southern Ethiopia, the EHF allocated $17 million in December 2016 to address immediate needs in WaSH, Health, Nutrition and Agriculture sectors. The Standard Allocation was made ahead of the release of the 2017 HRD and aimed to bridge the funding requirements between the last two months of 2016 and the first quarter of The next Standard Allocation was announced in March 2017 following the launch of the HRD and subsequent inter-cluster prioritization exercise. The EHF availed $21 million to the following prioritized sectors: emergency nutrition (CMAM support in priority woredas and procurement of nutrition supplies to treat acute malnutrition); health (AWD outbreak); education in emergencies (EiE) for areas with high displacements; targeted livestock activities (through fodder distribution linked with animal health interventions and destocking for small holder farmers); integrated WASH response as well as support to emergency shelter and NFIs were also supported. Following the launch of the mid-year revision of the HRD and subsequent inter-cluster prioritization exercise, the EHF issued the next round standard allocation in July to address priority needs emerging from the protracted drought and the massive AWD outbreak in Somali region. A large amount of funding, amounting to $44.7 million was allotted to the allocation. The amount was based on $23.6 million funding at hand, pledged contributions of $9.1 million and anticipated income of $16 million. Disbursement to partners were made as per actual transfer / deposit of donor contributions. This has delayed the application processing timeline as projects received were held off waiting for fund transfers. This allocation supported targeted provision of emergency water trucking and provision of water treatment chemicals, strategic rehabilitation of boreholes in health centers and schools, and expansion of emergency nutritional interventions (CMAM) in priority woredas were the activities identified for immediate response. Procurement of the highly needed nutrition supply for the treatment of moderate acute malnutrition, the establishment of Mobile Health and Nutrition teams and scale up of the frontline response and skills back up nationwide were among the activities funded. To provide response to emerging needs in the last months of 2017 and first quarter of 2018, the EHF issued a Reserve Allocation for $11.35 million. This allocation prioritized response for Somali and Oromia regions responding to the displaced due to the two years of consecutive droughts that was further aggravated by the Somali-Oromia border conflict. Activities in the life-saving sectors of WaSH, Health, Nutrition and ES/NFIs were supported. To ensure complementarity with other humanitarian funding streams, the EHF invites other major donors in country including ECHO and OFDA, as observers in the Review Board. Simultaneously, efforts were made to complement allocations from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) with the EHF. Two CERF allocations were made for life-saving emergency interventions in response to the severe drought in Somali region. A total of $28.5 million was allocated through the CERF Rapid Response Window to support the highest needs in Agriculture, Health, Nutrition and Wash sectors.

14 EHF 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 14 SUCCESS STORIES Innovative Approach- Mobile payment and logistics support for humanitarian operation Rapid Operational Support for AWD Emergency Response, Somali region The EHF funded Rapid Operational Support for Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) Emergency Response in Somali Region is an example of a project applying an innovative approach in addressing major humanitarian issues in remote areas. The project facilitated the movement and living expenses of health workers deployed on surge to Somali region by the Federal Government in response to the expanded AWD outbreak. The project implemented by United Nations Operations Programme (UNOPS) had two key components: the first provided fleet management services for response teams, so that they can visit remote parts of the region to respond to the disease outbreaks. UNOPS deployed 50 vehicles with drivers familiar with the Region through various service providers. The vehicles were managed by UNOPS, who will work with the service providers and humanitarian partners to ensure the vehicles meet the requirements of the emergency, in terms of equipment, availability, and quality of service. The second component disbursed per diem payments to health workers, in accordance with Ministry of Health standard rates. About 300 health workers were assigned to the AWD response for three months. Timely payments ensured health workers had the means to travel to areas of need and respond in a timely manner. AWD outbreaks require a real-time response, so disbursement of per diem required an innovative approach, which cannot simply be handled through bank transfers or cash handouts. UNOPS worked with mobile payment company (hello cash) to ensure daily payments to health workers, regardless of remoteness of their location. This solution was cost-effective, and reduced logistic and time costs.

15 EHF 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 15 SUCCESS STORIES Emergency Protection Response for Most Vulnerable Groups in IDP Sites of Somali region Women friendly space, Geladi woreda, Doolo zone, Somali Region EHF-funded Oxfam GB project that aimed to improve protection requirements of the most vulnerable groups living in IDP camps in five woredas of Dollo and Jarar zones, Somali region. Key interventions of the project included the deployment of Mobile Protection Teams; and setting up of Women and Children Friendly Spaces. According to the project monitoring report, the vulnerable IDP groups across 27 sites in five woredas of the region benefitted from the Mobile Protection Team. The project established 14 Safety Committees and deployed 58 volunteers (11 men and 47 women). Three women and children friendly spaces provided safe haven for IDP women and children, where they could access critical life-saving information; receive psychosocial support; and helped identify, prevent and respond to child protection and gender based violence concerns in the sites. The friendly spaces were in temporary learning or health centers to maximize integration and cross referrals. The project also trained 602 IDP women on protection and life skill (see picture of IDP women in a women friendly space, implementing their newly acquired skill in Geladi district, Doolo zone, Somali region).

16 2017 IN REVIEW PERFORMANCE The EHF measures its performance against a tool - Common Performance Framework (CPF) that applies a common methodology and set of indicators based on the five principles (inclusivity, flexibility, timeliness, efficiency and Accountability & Risk Management), which guides the management of CBPFs and the manner by which they achieve the strategic objectives of improving the response, strengthening leadership and ensuring better coordination and resourcing of humanitarian plans to measure Fund-management performance. Inclusive Governance, Programming and Implementation In 2017 the EHF had its busiest year to date with the highest income recorded by the Fund, the highest expenditure level and the most number of projects supported and managed by the EHF. All allocations made for this year were launched with inclusivity and transparency key characteristics of the process. Allocations follow the Inter-Cluster Prioritization exercise that follows the launch of the annual national humanitarian planning document (HRD). All cluster member organizations (more than 70) participated in the annual multi-sectoral nationwide assessment. As in past years, this assessment involved more than 200 Government, UN and NGO staff and informed the contents of the HRD which provide the parameters for EHF allocation / funding decisions In recent years, the total needs identified in HRD have progressively and significantly increased (over US$1 billion). In 2017, intercluster prioritization exercises were organized with participation from cluster coordinators and UN and NGO representatives further identified the immediate lifesaving requirements in critical sectors, locations and their costs. Discussions on the prioritization are also taken up in the EHCT meetings chaired by the HC. The NDRMC (government counterpart) is also consulted for review and endorsement of the Prioritization document prior to circulation to all stakeholders, including donors. The EHF uses this Prioritization document to plan its Allocations as it represents an inclusive process by all humanitarian bodies. The HC shares the Allocation paper with the Advisory Board for input and endorsement prior to finalization. The AB membership composition inclusive of contributing donors, humanitarian NGO and UN partners and donor observers ensures the decision-making process is transparent and inclusive. The HC is responsible for the final decision on the allocation amount. All EHF projects were subject to a participatory review. The EHF organizes strategic and technical review of projects through the Clusters (Strategic Review Committees) and the Review Board, involving at least six agencies (of which at least two organizations were from outside of the UN, representing National NGO, Ethiopian Red Cross and International NGOs), providing an additional layer of programmatic quality assurance. This review process ensures the critical variables of value for money, cross-cutting issues of gender and accountability to affected populations are given due attention. EHF resources were channelled through 32 implementing partners including International NGOs, UN agencies and National NGOs. During the year, the EHF partnered (provided eligibility) with Mothers and Children Multi-sectoral Development Organization (MCMDO), a National NGO, and expanded its response capacity in the health and nutrition sectors. Flexible allocation process, implementation, assistance and operation The prioritization mechanism (described earlier) employed by the EHF ensures that funds were strategically used and directed to the highest priority needs. The EHF in 2017 expanded the use of cash $1.1 million for displaced communities allowing flexible response particularly in areas where there is a functioning market. To create an enabling operational environment, the EHF provided funding to unique common service projects including a project whereby safe spaces for humanitarian workers were provided in all refugee camps in Ethiopia. The EHF also funded another project which aimed to strengthen humanitarian coordination capacity of the Somali Region through upgrading of information systems to facilitate the collection, analysis, and management of disaster and vulnerability data for informed humanitarian action. Flexibility is ensured through a supportive approach to applications for project modification. During 2017, some 64 requests for project modification and no-cost extensions were processed which showed project management flexibility, ensuring supported activities remain relevant to the context. Most of the revisions related to change in project location, as partners were experiencing access related challenges due to the protests around the Oromia and Somali bordering woredas. The revision requests were justified and were further supported by cluster coordinators. Timely contributions, allocation and disbursements The EHF received its highest income in 2017 totalling $104 million, with $82.4 million mobilized from eight donors and an additional $22 million carried over from While $22 million contributions were received in the first half of the year, this coupled with a 2016 carry-over enabled the EHF to allocate $38 million in the first half of the year. The majority of the funds (73 per cent) were received and disbursed in the second half of the year. Allocations made were appropriate for and responsive to the evolving humanitarian situation in Ethiopia as identified by the Inter- Cluster Prioritization exercise, discussed in the EHCT and endorsed by the HC. The Standard Allocation made in December 2016 as a bridging response for immediate needs identified in the last months of 2016 and early 2017 allowed a timely response to the needs of conflict-affected displaced people in the bordering woredas of Oromia and Somali regions. With EHF funding humanitarian partners were able to kick start response in displacement/ settlement sites until other funding sources were mobilized. The overall average time taken to process 124 applications was 45 calendar days which comes to 33 working days. The EHF continued to implement various measures applied in 2016 to expedite

17 EHF 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 17 application processing timeline including through provision of training and guidance on issues related to online Grant Management System (GMS) and budget preparation. The EHF includes pledged amounts when determining allocations. The general experience has been positive even though on one occasion (second standard allocation) the finalization of an allocation was delayed until incomes were recorded. Efficient prioritization and coverage The EHF covered nearly 18 per cent of the total non-food requirements identified in the 2017 national HRD. Allocation were made as per the prioritization document that identifies the immediate needs in the critical lifesaving sectors. The Fund reached some 22.1 million beneficiaries with non-food response including treatment of 230,806 children for severe acute malnutrition, 419,061 children and mother for moderate acute malnutrition, 399,153 people were provided access to mobile health and nutrition teams (MHNTs) and 75,000 people were provided with access to safe water supply. The Fund was also at the forefront in supporting strategic and timely humanitarian response approaches. Significant success was achieved in responding to the Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) outbreak in Somali region the epicentre of the outbreak in The EHF supported a UNOPS project that facilitated the movement and living expenses of health workers surged to Somali region by the Federal Government to tackle the outbreak in areas with inadequate health infrastructure capacity. The response is considered as a model and has been replicated in some parts of Oromia and Amhara regions facing similar conditions. As outlined above the EHF employed an inclusive and transparent process while ensuring compliance to the operational manual requirements. The EHF operational costs ($0.86 million) amounted to less than 1.5 per cent of received contributions ($82.6 million). During the year, the EHF was able to fund its operations. Managing risks, monitor partner capacity and performance of partners At a Fund level, the Risk Management Framework was revised in November / December as a result of the level and impact of identified events as per the evolving security and access situations in parts of the country. The risk matrix and mapping were reconsidered and revised in accordance with Advisory Board guidance and approval from the Humanitarian Coordinator. Eligibility determination continued to be made following due diligence / capacity assessment process and subsequent risk rating. In the year, the EHF undertook the capacity assessment of three organizations and provided eligibility. Subsequently, the Partner Performance Index score is used along with the original capacity assessment score to determine performance score and risk level. The operational modalities are determined based on partner risk level, duration and project budget. Operational modalities include: disbursement policy, funding ceiling, field monitoring visits, financial spot checks, narrative reporting requirements, financial re-porting requirements. Monitoring plans are organized as per the risk levels of partners and the results continued to provide input to PI of partners. As per the operational modality, monitoring is required for 63 projects out of the 124 projects. As of April 2018, the EHF monitored 88 projects, achieving higher coverage than the requirement included in the Operational Manual. Accordingly, all the high-risk projects were monitored, and 93 per cent of the medium-risk and 65 per cent of the low-risk projects were visited. Some 11 projects were visited more than once as per the risk-based monitoring requirement. Eight partners took part in Peer to Peer monitoring whereby experts from organizations visit each other s projects. Additionally, eight donors monitoring missions and field visits were facilitated during the year. Conflict in the bordering woredas of Oromia and Somali affected the timeliness of monitoring. Informed by the risk levels, financial spot-checks were applied as part of financial monitoring. As per the operational manual spotcheck was required for 24 projects for which the assessment is due only for six projects. During the year, the EHF conducted 9 spot checks, achieving more than the requirement. As part of project closure, out of 98 projects supported to NGOs that require audit, 15 projects are due for audit, while the audit of 29 project is underway. Additionally, the audit of backlogs of 48 projects from the previous years was completed during the year. Meanwhile, in December 2017, the EHF organized a familiarization workshop with its implementing partners to reintroduce the riskbased grants management approach, eligibility determination, capacity assessment and due diligence processes. Refresher on GMS, financial and budgeting issues and common monitoring findings/challenges were deliberated.

18 EHF 2017 ANNUAL REPORT IN REVIEW DONOR CONTRIBUTIONS 3 In 2017, the EHF received the second highest donors contributions to CBPFs globally.

27 EHF 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 27 SUCCESS STORIES Amina Adem s Story protecting livestock through emergency feed and treatment services Photo: Islamic Relief AMINA ADEM, 45 years lives in Bargelle kebele, Hargelle woreda of Somali region. Her primary source of income were her eight shoats and two cows. Things are different these days, we are facing recurrent drought and it is becoming difficult to keep livestock unlike in days past. We pastoralist are struggling to access water and pasture these days. Amina recounts that she lost all eight goats due to drought and was left with two cows and that it was difficult to move in search of pasture and water with her four young children. The emergency livestock response project funded by the EHF identified vulnerable pastoralists like Amina for livestock feed and treatment. At the start of the project, Amina could not afford to purchase feed or drugs from the market. One of her cows was too weak to stand up and required the support of her neighbours. Through the EHF-funded project, Amina received a total of 270 kg of fodder (hay) and 90 kg of concentrate and animal treatment service through a voucher system for 45 days. After feeding her cows a ration of three kg of hay and one kg of concentrate per cow per day during the feeding period, the body condition of her two cows gradually showed improvement and resumed giving two liters of milk / day. Thanks to this support, Amina s family were able to secure their core livelihood asset. Finally, she said Now I and my family could safeguard our most important asset livestock - and our future is secured, may God reward you and your funders, without your support my only two cattle may have long gone, and our home with them.
