OCHA Ethiopia
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The presently called United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs - Ethiopia (UN OCHA-Ethiopia) began life in November 1984 when the United Nations established the Office for Emergency Operations in Ethiopia (OEOE) to help coordinate the delivery of international famine relief to the drought affected highlands of the country. In October 1986, with the effects of the famine largely mitigated, the Secretary General decided to dismantle the OEOE and incorporate its key functions into the mandate of UNDP, thereby placing support for national disaster preparedness and prevention on a firmer footing. This led to the formation of the UN Emergency Prevention and Preparedness Group (UN-EPPG) in January 1987 as a project implemented by UNDP and reporting directly to the UN Secretary Generals’ Special Representative.
