UNDP’s Ethiopian country program emerged out of the country’s United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) that was developed in 2005. According to the Country Program Action Plan (CPAP), UNDP was supposed to focus on five main UNDAF priority areas. The UNDP supported several initiatives with the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) to address problems related to Food Security, Disaster Risk reduction (DRM) and Mine Action. This evaluation is meant to assess one of the UNDAF outcomes that is implemented by UNDP that states: “By the end of 2011, enhanced capacity for disaster risk management with respect to preparedness and ability to deliver a timely and appropriate multi-sectoral response to humanitarian needs.” The results of the evaluation and lessons learnt would serve as inputs for the formulation and implementation future UNDP interventions as the UN enters a new five year UNDAF program cycle and make its interventions aliened with the county’s GTP.
