Ethiopia survey report by 60 Decibels

Project Context

UN OCHA facilitates collective Anticipatory Action to predictable humanitarian crises. This innovative approach has the potential to lead to faster, more efficient, and more dignified responses. Between May — October 2021, the UN OCHA provided such anticipatory assistance (AA) to help populations in Ethiopia cope with ongoing droughts.

As part of the piloting phase, the learning framework brings together:

1. Documentation on the pilot setup

2. Monitoring and evaluation about the implementing partners' activities

3. Independent impact measurement carried out by 60 Decibels

60 Decibels focused on listening to recipients' experience and measuring the impact of anticipatory assistance through phone surveys with 1,030 recipients between June 2022 — February 2023. 60 Decibels trained in-country research assistants used proprietary and standardized survey tools to conduct the surveys.
