In the region, a technical paper has been produced to guide the work of local groups focused on humanitarian action. These groups were established in areas that have been heavily affected by emergencies, including Afar, Amhara, Oromia, Somali, and Tigray. The paper outlines how these groups will function and coordinate with a national body.

It was created following an endorsement by the Ethiopian Humanitarian Country Team. Further details about the groups and their work can be found in the technical paper, which was produced by a UN agency.
