Description
The CARE Ethiopia country office was established in 1984 in response to the country’s 1983-84 famine. Although emergency feeding continues to be a focus, CARE now concentrates on rehabilitation and development projects. CARE Ethiopia’s involvement in non-emergency programming includes agricultural extension services, income generation and food-for-work, as well as family planning and HIV/AIDS education.
Projects
CARE Ethiopia is currently implementing four livelihoods enhancement projects in the pastoralist areas of Ethiopia:
1. Pastoralist Livelihoods Initiative/Enhancing Afar and Borana Livelihoods Initiative (PLI/ENABLE ) – The goal of this project is to support pastoralists to improve household livelihood security and maintain assets during drought cycles through enhancing their resiliency to predictable emergencies and strengthening local capacity, systems and partnerships among government and local/traditional institutions.
2. Enhanced Livelihoods in Southern Ethiopia – this project is part of the regional Enhanced Livelihoods in the Mandera Triangle program and its goal is to increase the self-reliance and resiliency of the targeted population through improved livelihoods in drought prone pastoral areas of Southern Ethiopia.
3. Borana Pastoralists’ Water Resource Management and Learning Initiative Project – This project is part of the Global Water Initiative program, which aims at ensuring that vulnerable populations world-wide have reliable access to clean water in such a way that their dignity, rights, culture and natural environment are not negatively impacted.
4. Regional Resilience Enhancement Against Drought – This project aims to build the capacities of local actors operating in pastoral environment so as to improve their resilience to drought and other crises, including actions linked to compilation of evidence and “lessons learned”.
