In Ethiopia, a technical paper has been produced by UN Women Ethiopia, outlining Standard Operating Procedures for Decentralized Gender In Humanitarian Action Working Groups. These groups were established in 2024 and 2025 in five regional states, including Afar, Amhara, Oromia, Somali, and Tigray. The working groups aim to ensure gender equality in humanitarian response, bringing together various stakeholders such as UN agencies, government bodies, and women-led organizations.
The Standard Operating Procedures define the roles and coordination of regional groups with the national body. Further details on the functioning of these working groups can be found in the technical paper, which follows the Ethiopian Humanitarian Country Team's endorsement in 2024.
