About the Program

The BRE program intends to contribute to the objective of an ‘Ethiopia that is more resilient to climate and humanitarian shocks’. This will be through the provision of technical assistance and support to the ‘Government of Ethiopia to lead and deliver an effective, more self-financed and accountable response to climate and humanitarian shocks.’ Specifically, the CARE component of the BRE program will provide technical assistance to the National Disaster Risk Management Commission (NDRMC), with a view to support Disaster Risk Management (DRM) leadership and coordination of effective and accountable humanitarian response.
