Ethiopia: Flood - Early Action Protocol summary (EAP2021ET01)
Format
The IFRC Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) has approved a total allocation of CHF 350, 000 from its Forecast based Action (FbA) mechanism for the Ethiopia Red Cross Society. The approved amount consists of an immediate allocation of CHF 101,777 for readiness and pre-positioning and CHF 248,223 automatically allocated to implement early actions once the defined triggers are met.
The FbA by the DREF is a Forecast-based Financing funding mechanism managed by the DREF. Allocations for the FbA by the DREF are made from a separate financial component of the DREF (MDR00004) and do not affect the reserves of the DREF appeal code MDR00001. Unearmarked contributions to the FbA by the DREF are encouraged to guarantee enough funding is available for the Early Action Protocols being developed.
