The Branch Office Conducts an Early Warning Awareness Campaign

Under the Water at the Heart of Climate Action (WHCA) Program – Ethiopia Drought Activation and Early Action Protocol (EAP), the Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS) Somali Regional Branch, in partnership with the Netherlands Red Cross, conducted an orientation session for Woreda and Kebele Early Warning Committee members, and Ethiopian Red Cross Society volunteers in Harshin Woreda.

The orientation aimed to strengthen community preparedness and enhance understanding of drought early warning mechanisms and early action measures. Participants were equipped with knowledge and tools to support the timely dissemination of early warning information and promote proactive responses to drought-related risks.

Following the training, early warning messages were shared with communities through mobile awareness campaigns using vehicles and house-to-house visits, ensuring that vulnerable households receive critical information and guidance to prepare for potential drought impacts.

The initiative forms part of ERCS’s ongoing efforts to strengthen community resilience, reduce the impact of climate-related hazards, and support vulnerable populations through anticipatory action and early response mechanisms.

In rural communities across South Wollo, East Guji, and East Borena, access to clean water, essential medicines, and improved sanitation is transforming lives.

Through the Ethiopian Red Cross Society’s Ethiopia Crises to Resilience (EC2R) project, families that once relied on unsafe water sources now have access to clean drinking water, health centers are better equipped to serve patients, and schools are creating safer environments for girls through improved menstrual hygiene facilities.

Implemented in partnership with national and international stakeholders, the EC2R project is helping build stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities across Ethiopia. Read the full story, “The Quiet Transformation of Communities Long Defined by Scarcity,” by The Reporter on June 13, 2026, on our website to discover how these investments are creating lasting change and improving the lives of some of the country’s most vulnerable populations.

ERCS Launches 200 Million Birr Project to Implement Continuity of Cardio metabolic Disease Care in Crisis

The Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS), in partnership with the Danish Red Cross and with funding from the Novo Nordisk Foundation, has launched the second phase of a four-year project worth over 200 million birr to strengthen continuity of care for people living with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) during emergencies and humanitarian crises.

The project aims to improve prevention, screening, referral, treatment follow-up, and community awareness while building the capacity of health workers and volunteers to ensure uninterrupted care during crises.

Speaking at the launch workshop in Addis Ababa, ERCS Health and WASH Director Ato Gashaw Dagne highlighted the growing burden of NCDs and the need for resilient community-based health services. He noted that ERCS, through its extensive network of branches, volunteers, and community structures, plays a key role in health promotion, screening, referral, follow-up services, and community mobilization.

Dr. Fasil Shiferaw, from the Federal Ministry of Health, emphasized that uninterrupted NCD care during emergencies is vital for a resilient health system and reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to strengthening preparedness, capacity, and coordination.

Mr. Mads Østergaard, Country Manager of the Danish Red Cross in Ethiopia, highlighted over a decade of partnership among the Danish Red Cross, ERCS, the Novo Nordisk Foundation, government institutions, and communities to ensure continuity of care for people living with chronic illnesses during crises.

Representing the IFRC, Mrs. Robi Wambura stressed that people living with chronic diseases must not be left behind during emergencies, noting that disruptions in treatment can have life-threatening consequences.

Running from February 2026 to January 2030, the project will be implemented in Shirka town in Arsi Zone of Oromia, Debark town in North Gondar Zone of Amhara, and Shire town from North West zone of Tigray Region.
