Ethiopia is a pioneer in the development of an institutionalized capacity to deal with natural disasters and made by man. Many countries in Africa took Ethiopia as a model to establish their ability to deal with disasters, including epidemics and pandemics. It was this capacity that was initially established in 1974 (Relief and Rehabilitation Commission: RRC) and then passed through a series of reforms that allowed Ethiopia to successfully manage larger and complicated international humanitarian operations since World War II. The entire international community accumulated it as a success story. Many books have been written about this operation. It was an international effort, which led to the east and west and the rest of the world together. It was a time when the world could afford to focus on Ethiopia, affected by severe drought, continuous war and scarcity of food and public services. It was this experience that made an alarm call needed to the world.
