Covid-19 and Community Resilience: Ethiopia’s 2021 Report

Alliance2015 in Ethiopia includes seven representatives of the eight members: ACTED, Ayuda en Acción, Cesvi, Concern Worldwide, Helvetas, People in Need and Welthungerhilfe. While showing the devastating effect of the pandemic, the research also highlights that communities are resilient with coping mechanisms and strong community spirit. There are important learnings from this research that can support the design of programmes both for immediate response and for longer term initiatives by INGOs and government to ensure the negative impact of COVID-19 is minimised while the positive elements are built upon.
