Grant Description: USAID/OFDA anticipates awarding multiple cooperative agreements as a result of this APS, targeting interventions in specific zones within Oromiya, Somali, and Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples regions in Ethiopia. The global food crisis has affected households around the world, but has had a particularly harsh impact on the most vulnerable families in developing nations. Vulnerable populations in the Horn of Africa region can be described in three types: pastoral, agro-pastoral, and marginal farming households. OFDA is seeking to adopt new approaches to providing assistance that, where possible, will address the root causes of food insecurity, rather than continually providing inputs to poor households each year at higher and higher costs. The broad goals of this APS for Ethiopia are to: - Stabilize humanitarian indicators in food insecure households through humanitarian assistance activities designed to protect existing household assets; - Rebuild livelihoods and household resiliency to shocks through the diversification and creation of household assets; and, - Improve economic opportunities through improved market linkages in support of the predominate agricultural and livestock sectors.
