Descripción
An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited Ethiopia from 7 to 29 November 1996 to estimate the production of the 1996 Meher (main) season cereal and pulse crops, forecast the 1997 Belg (secondary) season production, estimate national food requirements for 1997 and assess the food aid needs for that year. The Mission visited all the zones in the four main crop producing regions and the capitals of most of the minor crop producing regions. Specific districts previously identified a s in need of assistance were also visited. This year, the Mission was joined by observers who travelled with the teams and monitored events on behalf of their agencies: the European Union (EU), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Save the Children Fund (SCF-UK) and Catholic Relief Services (CRS). As in previous years, FAO teams, acting independently, concentrated on a ssessing production and food supply situation and were accompanied by specialists from the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) throughout the visits. WFP teams visiting food deficit areas concentrated on determining household food requirements and were accompanied by zonal and regional Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Commission (DPPC) staff.
