Ministry of Agriculture - DRM - Agriculture Task Force Monthly Meeting Meeting Room - Humanitarian Response
Introduction
• Bega - October to January
• Bega is characterized by dry, sunny, strong wind, early
  morning and night-time cold temperature, that favor for frost
  occurrence
• Second rainy season for south and southeastern Ethiopia
• October rain has the highest share particularly, over south
  and southeastern regions.
• After October, much of northern half of the country remains
  under dry weather. Hence, rain that falls after this month is
  considered as “UNSEASONAL RAIN”

Conclusion Bega 2019/2020 Season
 Delayed Southward advances of rain-producing systems are
  expected to herald the beginning of second rainy season for the
  Southern and South-eastern lowlands.

 Dominantly, above normal rainfall is expected to prevail across
  the South and South-Eastern regions, where Bega is the second
  rainfall season

 Above Normal tending to Normal rainfall activity is anticipated
  across North-Western, central and Eastern Ethiopia

 Similarly, Below-Normal rainfall Tending to Normal is expected
  over most of the North-Eastern parts of the country.
 A Bega season with seldom unseasonal wet conditions
  will prevail over Northeastern and Northern parts of
  the country.

 The occurrence/prevalence of frost across frost prone
  highlands of North, North-east, East and south of the
  country is less likely.

 Overall, Moderately wet Bega season is expected to
  prevail over Ethiopia as compared to climatologically dry
  Bega.

Conclusion and Recommendation
The indicated good moisture status, Rainfall Anomaly, SPI and increase in
vegetation cover and Rangeland index based on WRSI on the selected
analogue years particularly on the month of October and November
expected to favor Bega agricultural activities.

the situation confirmed by seasonal probabilistic forecast in view of the
prevailing and projected climate scenarios relatively wet Bega season is
anticipated to dominate much of the country in ONDJ 2019/20

The expected Normal to Above normal rainfall over southern and
southeastern Ethiopia where Bega is their second rainy season would have
positive impact on regenerating pasture and the availability of drinking
water and crop performance of agro pastoral areas as well. Therefore,
proper input should be utilized to take advantage of the relatively better
condition.

The expected Above Normal tending to Normal rainfall activity is
anticipated across most of Meher crop producing area expected to favor the
existing Meher crops where not yet fully matured and late sown pulses
and oil seeds using residual moisture obtained during October over
highlands.
Cont …
The expected occasional Unseasonal rain to prevail over Northern half Meher
producing areas of the country over seasonally dry sectors in areas where crops
are ready to harvest of the country would have negative impact on harvest and
post harvest activities. Thus, harvest and post harvest activities should be
undertaken on time in order to avoid unnecessary harvest and post harvest
loses.
The extended rainfall during October could be positive for lately sowing crops
to the northern, north western, eastern and the central parts of the country. In
addition to this the extended wet condition would favour flood affected areas
where replanting of the crops has been going on recently.

However, the extended rainfall was negatively affected fully matured crops in
some pocket areas especially lowland parts to the western and western half of
the country.

Moreover, The expected unseasonable rainfall would favor the occurrence of
crop pests and disease. Therefore, farmers are advised properly and regularly
visit their farm fields for monitoring pest and diseases for proper precaution
should be undertaken ahead of time to minimize loses.

The occurrence of Moist air and cloud coverage will expect the anticipated less
likely occurrence of frost over frost prone areas would create favorable
condition for the normal growth and development of plants in the area.

Humanitarian Consequences
Humanitarian consequences are the effects of stresses and shocks on the lives and
livelihoods of affected people, and their resilience to future negative events.

ASSUMPTIONS

• Majority of people facing physical and mental well-being
  problems also face living standards problems
• Prioritization process attributes greater criticality to
  populations exceeding emergency thresholds of physical and
  mental well-being problems
• To support joint response analysis a clear distinction between
  groups and consequence is required                 Living
• PiN is not a standalone process; it needs        Standards

  to be in line with the severity of needs
