Early Warning
Below are a few examples of how FEG provides technical support and guidance for early warning:
Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) – FEG has brought their extensive knowledge and experience in designing a modular livelihoods framework for FEWS NET. The result has been a harmonized approach that takes advantage of the skills of FEWS NET staff and its partners in designing, implementing, and analyzing livelihood information to identify food insecure populations and suggest effective humanitarian and development interventions.
Livelihoods Integration Unit (LIU) - FEG’s role in the LIU project is to facilitate, train and engage Government of Ethiopia’s Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Agency (DPPA) staff and partners in the application and use of liveihoods analysis in early warning.
Pastoral Areas Coordination, Analysis and Policy Support (PACAPS)– F.E.G provides the Early Warning (EW) and Early Response (ER) component of PACAPS which links existing EW/ER systems and actors into a regional mechanism. This coordinating entity will provide regional early warning and trigger an early response to problems affecting the cross-border area. Regional, in this case, applies to where the Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya borders meet - the “Mandera Triangle” – which is home to trans-border Somali and Oromo pastoralists.
