INCEPTION REPORT
This inception report presents an overview of the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) situation in Ethiopia. It further describes in detail activities and work plans that are foreseen in the project as at the inception phase to prepare for smooth initiation of project activity implementation. The Technical Assistance Team (TAT) was mobilized on 3rd August and started with concrete plans to begin proposed activities during the inception phase in line with the requirements in the project Terms of Reference (ToR).
Though the inception phase formally ended on 31 August 2020, due to Covid-19, the TAT and the counterparts faced challenges in conducting meetings and planning sessions in time. This was situated by the necessity to physically travel to the five regions and conducting meetings in the capital Addis Ababa. This slightly delayed compilation of data and inception report than expected.
Accordingly, the project start-up and implementation is further compounded by delayed purchase of cars, motor bikes and office supplies. This has largely impacted the ability of project staff at NDRMC and regions to facilitate project planning and implementations. The TAT is proposing that if allowable, that NDRMC and regions be allowed to spend their contingency funds for car rentals to allow mobility of the project staff.
