All of these projects are in support of national health authorities through 330 health facilities (including 28 hospitals and 300 health centers). We work in partnership with local NGOs whenever possible to ensure that our patients benefit from expertise wherever it is available, whether in their country or in the rest of the world. In addition, to improve the humanitarian response, we conduct operational and clinical research projects, particularly in the areas of malnutrition and viral hemorrhagic fevers. ALIMA also conducts operations in response to the covid-19 pandemic in all our missions.

ALIMA IN ETHIOPIA

At the end of March 2022, ALIMA visited Ethiopia for the first time to develop official contacts and gather enough information to set up an ALIMA mission in the country.

At the end of May 2022, ALIMA conducted an exploratory mission in the Afder zone in order to better understand the context, and to assess the health and nutrition needs, to identify the need for a humanitarian intervention. Three woredas were targeted: Hargele, Barey and Elkare. The selection was based on; the latest national hotspot classification (all three are priority one), several health indicators shared by the Regional Health Bureau (RHB), recent data from the regional nutrition cluster showing rising acute malnutrition levels, the Famine Early Warning Systems Network forecasts on food security (all three would be IPC level 4 – Emergency phase), displacement data (IOM), and last but not least the low presence of other actors and partners.

As a reminder, after four consecutive failed rainy seasons over the past two years, communities in parts of southeastern Ethiopia, including the Somali region, have been severely affected by a prolonged drought. In general, in Ethiopia and the rest of the Horn of Africa, climate change is leading to an increase in the frequency, magnitude, and impact of extreme weather events, including droughts. Prior to 1999, little or no rainfall occurred once every five to six years. However, in subsequent years, insufficient precipitation was reported every two to three years. This resulted in significant economic losses, mainly due to the effect on agricultural productivity. In the Somali Region, the population is highly dependent on natural resource-based livelihoods and is very vulnerable to drought. The combination of poor harvests, inflation, and rising prices on international markets has led to an increase in the price of stable foodstuffs, reducing the purchasing power of households and further fueling the crisis. In addition, the effects of the war in Ukraine on energy prices and global food systems threaten to worsen food security in Ethiopia.

With drought destroying crops and decimating livestock, the livelihoods of millions of agro-pastoralists and pastoralists are at risk in the Somali region. More than one million livestock have already died and 3.3 million people in the region, or 59 percent of the population, are in need of food assistance (WFP). Due to poor animal health and low demand, livestock prices have dropped significantly. With livestock playing a crucial role for the population, particularly as a source of livelihoods and nutrition, the drought is exacerbating the food security crisis and worsening malnutrition, with escalating levels of acute malnutrition reported. In the first quarter of 2022, the number of new cases of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) increased by 37% compared to the same period last year (Nutrition Cluster). Prior to this drought, the Somali Region was documented to have the highest percentage of children under five years old suffering from wasting in Ethiopia (21% according to EDHS 2019), and very high infant and neonatal mortality rates. Given that half of all child deaths have malnutrition as an underlying factor (Maternal and Child Nutrition, Lancer 2013), there is growing concern about child mortality. The shortage of water for domestic use and sanitation activities has also exposed the population to water-related diseases. At the same time, more than 183,000 people in the region have migrated in search of water, pasture, or aid, not including the internally displaced persons (IDPs) who are also affected. This has increased the risk of communicable disease transmission, while in the region only 18.2% of children had received all basic vaccines and 48.8% of children had not received any vaccines (EMDHS 2019). The risk is particularly high among children whose immunity has been weakened by malnutrition. The increase in the number of people displaced by the drought also raises the question of their access to basic services, including health care.

The main data collected during this assessment conducted by ALIMA are as follows :

A significantly higher number of severely malnourished children in the Elkare woreda. The SMART survey and recent screenings in the woredas revealed critical levels of global acute malnutrition (GAM). As a result, there is a high demand for prevention and treatment of acute malnutrition, and nutrition services in health facilities and at the community level are not sufficient to meet the need.

Many people have been displaced due to the drought, mainly from other kebeles in the area, in addition to other IDPs who have remained for long periods in collective sites. IDPs are very vulnerable as they have lost their livelihoods and receive very limited support, mainly from the government (limited food and NFI distribution, WASH, poor shelter…). The increase in the number of new IDPs, particularly in Elkare, makes it difficult to provide health and nutrition services through fixed health facilities. There is also a lack of a mental health program. The WASH situation in the collective sites is critical.

Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is a concern, with limited services at the health post (HP) level, which lacks capacity to perform deliveries and refer cases. Deliveries are mainly performed at the community level by unqualified personnel. Maternal mortality is very high in the Elkare woreda.

Hospitalization capacity is low in Elkare and Barey, in terms of number of beds, qualified staff, equipment, WASH.

Elkare: The high number of referrals to Hargele Hospital underscores the low case management capacity. The number of SAM cases with complications managed at the woreda level is very low: most are referred to Hargele hospital, which is 2.5 hours away and expensive.

In Barey: there is only one functioning hospital serving 28 HP and a population of 116,000. It is difficult to refer cases to the zone hospital (Hargele), especially from Barey. Referrals from the HPs to the Health Center (HC) are poor due to the limited number of ambulances for each woreda, the time spent for referrals at the Hargele hospital, and the lack of transportation. This results in late referrals and/or people consulting traditional healers.

Most of the community resides around the HPs, which are not sufficiently supported by the health system and not well used by the population. Limited access to and utilization of PHC services is due to lack of road access, lack of transportation, long distances for patients to reach health facilities (HFs) in a timely manner, the lifestyle of the population, scattered HPs, financial barriers, shortages of pharmaceuticals and nutrition, and lack of trained health personnel. Mobile clinics are needed to reach displaced populations and communities living in hard-to-reach areas.

Drought exacerbates the risk of epidemics, which is high especially in Barey, and there is no preparedness and response plan available at the woreda level.

The main activities to come will consist of :

In the short term :

August 2022 : obtain registration / immigration process / bank account and HR…

September 2022 : open and implement a take-off project for the mission.

In response to the drought and nutrition crisis -> Somali region (needs + access)

Assessment done in May-June. Nutritional screening in August if agreement can be obtained from PPN and the Ministry of Health.

Reduce mortality and morbidity associated with AM and pediatric diseases and maternal

In the mid-to-long term

Start an anchor project in the Northern Region (Ahmara / Afar or Tigray) including conducting new assessments.

Mission Location: Ethiopia, Addis Ababa
