The immediate priority is therefore to better prepare for unmitigated climate risk that Ethiopia already faces. Additionally, water service provision needs to be better integrated with food security and asset rebuilding efforts.

However, findings also indicated several challenges that continue to inhibit institutional strengthening gains and effective planning and implementation of DRM in Ethiopia. One of the most relevant is that early warning does not consistently trigger a response at the community level: information is not provided in a timely manner, or not consistently delivered to all relevant local administrations and communities, the quality and reliability of the data themselves is poor, leading to a lack of generated early warning information. The current insufficient capacity development investments and interventions in the DRM space need to be addressed, particularly in those regions and Woredas where significant capacity gaps exist. According to the aforementioned studies, while designing an intervention an emphasis should be put on the activities aiming at women and integrating the gender perspective through the whole action as climate change impacts as well as response to shocks in general are not gender neutral."}, {"bbox": [86, 878, 399, 909], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## 3.5 The Intervention Logic"}, {"bbox": [96, 925, 1164, 1039], "category": "Text", "text": "This action is part of the third Individual Measure in response to conflict and drought in Ethiopia, covering food and water security, agricultural recovery and strengthening of domestic food production, addressing displacement and reintegration, gender inequalities and economic recovery of the private sector in areas affected by the conflict and/or drought."}, {"bbox": [96, 1056, 1164, 1257], "category": "Text", "text": "Building the IWRM implementation capacity at different Government levels training government staff on water governance, water economics including efficient use of water and energy in solar mini-grid productive business, rangeland and environmental management, providing the necessary equipments and promoting the necessary studies if the equipments and software are used purposefully and trained staff will remain in the government institutions then the capacity of the MoWE, BCO and DBOs will not be only established but will definitely improve the institutional set up and coordination of the Integrated Water Resources Management.
