Regular Meetings

Coordination platforms are functioning normally. The Inter-Cluster Coordination Groups (ICCG) in Mekelle and Shire are holding regular meetings. Coordination meetings between partners and the defacto local authorities are being initiated in the main hubs in Mekelle, Shire, Adigrat, Axum, and Abi Adi. Given the scale of the crisis and the need for rapid scale-up of assistance, clusters urgently require dedicated full-time coordinators and information management officers. Now that there is improved access within the region, there is need for more strengthened and permanent presence of partners in the field hubs The defacto regional authorities have announced that the existing Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) in Mekelle will continue to meet weekly and provide a platform for interaction with clusters and humanitarian partners.

The defacto authorities are engaging with partners to rapidly scale up response to address the dire humanitarian needs in the region. However, stock levels are currently low, and there are still huge challenges to bring in supplies from outside the region.
