2001 SITUATION REPORTS, SPECIAL STUDIES
AND OTHER RESOURCES
This section provides a complete listing of the reports and other documents released by the Emergencies Unit during the current year. A monthly Ethiopia Situation Report is prepared to describe the latest humanitarian developments in the country covering agriculture, food and logistics, health and nutrition and refugees. The Horn of Africa Review is prepared most months and summarises the latest events and developments in the IGAD member countries (Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan, Kenya and Uganda). In addition, field staff of the Emergencies Unit regularly visit disaster-affected and other vulnerable regions of the country to monitor developments in the field. Their findings are issued as Regional Monitoring Reports. Finally, the Emergencies Unit occasionally commissions special studies on issues of general concern or interest. These are issued as Thematic Reports. Other data and documentary resources are also issued under this general heading. Most documents are fully browsable while larger data and graphics files will be downloadable via FTP.
