| dc.description.abstract | Over the past decade, the intensity, cost, and duration of humanitarian assistance provision have grown dramatically. This has prompted the need for better connectivity and collaboration between humanitarian and development efforts as traditional approaches which mainly focuses on life saving support and silo approaches failed to comprehensively address underlying vulnerabilities. This study examines the ways in which humanitarian and development organizations work together to improve drought vulnerability focusing in Ethiopia. The study was conducted in Addis Ababa by employing a qualitative approach. The study used a primary and secondary sources to collect date. The data was gathered through document analysis and semi-structured interviews with a cross-section of humanitarian, development, and government actors in order to better understand current practice and implementation of the relationship between the two sectors. Furthermore, a survey was conducted to assess stakeholder views and attitudes. Purposive sampling was used to choose participants and key informants. A crucial conclusion of this study was that institutions and programs for connecting humanitarian and development efforts are already in place. There is a multi-level coordination structure in place to foster tighter collaboration. Progress is also being made in the implementation of various policies and programs, such as productive safety net, disaster risk reduction, and resilience-sensitive initiatives, in collaboration with development partners. Nonetheless, there are existing institutional and cultural impediments, as well as a larger financial architecture, that are impeding a stronger link. As a result, further work is needed to finetune approaches that systematically integrate vulnerability concerns, as well as the planning and financial frameworks that would create complementarity and synergy between development and humanitarian operations. | |
