Ethiopia is experiencing a multi-faceted crisis following ongoing conflict and displacement, especially in the north, as well as food insecurity and malnutrition, climate-related disasters with recurrent droughts, floods and landslides, as well as a decline in healthcare.
3iS has been active in Ethiopia since November 2021 providing coordination, information management services, capacity building strengthening, and innovative tools adoption to projects funded by the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO), the Danish Refugee Council as hosting Agency of the Humanitarian INGO Forum (HINGO), and the H2H Network.
Since May 2023, 3iS has been working on a project funded by DG ECHO titled “Improved access to coordination of assessments, analysis, and information management services and related capacity-building for humanitarian actors in crisis-affected areas of Ethiopia.”
3iS leads the Evidence for Humanitarian Action (EVIACT) Consortium in Ethiopia whose objective is to enhance coordination, data analysis, and capacity-building of humanitarian actors in crisis-affected areas. In partnership with ACTED and Norwegian Refugee Council and funded by DG ECHO, we provide information management support, develop digital platforms for data sharing, provide independent analysis, support assessments and deliver training to strengthen decision-making. Our work improves the efficiency of the humanitarian response by transforming data into actionable insights across key sectors and in support of international and national stakeholders active in the response.
