Pastoralist In Action Development Organization

About PIADO

Pastoralist In Action Development Organization (PIADO) was established in July 2019 under Ethiopian Civil Society Organization Proclamation No.1113/2019.
PIADO emerged from local humanitarian efforts during drought and conflict crises affecting pastoralist communities in Ethiopia. During periods of displacement and conflict in Moyale and surrounding areas, members of PIADO leadership experienced the impacts directly and participated in rebuilding communities and restoring access to services.
Today PIADO implements Anticipatory Action, humanitarian, recovery ,democracy/human right and development interventions supporting internally displaced populations and host communities in Somali and Oromia regions.

PIADO actively participated in the Child-Centered Trigger-Based Anticipatory Action (AA) Workshop and Action Planning Meeting held in Moyale from 7–9 May 2026, in collaboration with Save the Children (SCI), government sector offices, and key stakeholders.
The workshop brought together representatives from SCI Moyale Project Office, PIADO, and woreda sector offices, including Disaster Risk Management (DRM), Health, Livestock, Water, and Education sectors, to strengthen collaboration on climate preparedness and child-centered anticipatory action programming.
Through the engagement, partners jointly developed an action plan to initiate implementation of the HF-funded Trigger-Based Anticipatory Action Pilot Project 2026 BUILD Phase activities during May–June 2026.
A key outcome of the meeting was the agreement to establish monthly monitoring meetings to track emerging risks, early warning alerts, local observations, and climate forecasts from national, regional, and global sources. These regular coordination platforms will strengthen evidence-based decision-making and support timely activation of both BUILD and FUND phases of Anticipatory Action interventions.
PIADO remains committed to working with partners to strengthen child-centered climate services, early action systems, and community resilience, helping vulnerable children and communities prepare for and respond to risks before crises escalate.
