The objective of the activity is to strengthen the staffing capabilities of the Government of Ethiopia (GoE)’s Disaster Risk Management (DRM) institutions by empowering young professionals and equipping them with the skills that they need to actively engage in disaster risk management and strengthen GoE’s institutional disaster risk management capacity.
Currently, the effectiveness of Ethiopia’s DRM institutions is limited by their human resource capacity. Therefore, USAID is seeking support in strengthening the country’s institutional risk management capacity to plan for, mitigate against, and respond to disasters, and therefore reduce the impact of multi-hazard shocks on people and communities.
Through this activity, USAID expects young professionals’ disaster risk management skills and analytical capacities will be improved, young professionals’ leadership opportunities will be improved, and the disaster risk management human resources capacity of Ethiopia’s disaster risk management institutions will be strengthened.
