the traffickers. The Federal Police, with the Ministry of Justice and Federal courts have prepared training manuals on the prevention and investigation of human traffickers. They also give intensive training to members of security forces in regions where the crime is widespread. Measures taken to Prevent Illegal Trafficking of Women Apart from prohibiting illegal trafficking of women by law, the Government has carried out many activities to combat illegal trafficking of women. It has held consultations with Micro and Small Business Enterprises and other financial bodies to empower developments that benefit women. It has held meetings on awareness creation and mobilizing women and other stake holders. The government has underlined its concern over the issue with the setting up of the National Council, headed by the Deputy Prime Minister, which established committees from the federal level down to the level of kebeles and co-operates with different stakeholders to combat illegal trafficking. PROTECTION OF INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS Ethiopia is a signatory to the Kampala Convention87, and the memorandum on the ratification of the Kampala convention has already been submitted to respective Ministries for comments before it is submitted to the Council. The government has followed a new approach to disaster risk management (DRM), anchored in reducing multi-hazard disaster risks, vulnerabilities and the impact of potential disaster which enabled the governmental organs to deal the root causes of internal displacement. The DRM approach is community focused and establishes clear organizational roles at all levels from the community to federal administration. The government is in the process of finalizing a DRM policy and strategy framework comprising six components; prevention, mitigation and preparedness, disaster response and early recovery and rehabilitation. The system will build up the resilience of communities and will in turn to a substantial reduction in disaster losses whether of lives or of social, economic and environmental assets, thus enable continued sustainable development.88 87African Union Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa (Kampala Convention) , Adopted in Kampala, Uganda, on 23 October 20 &entered into force 6 December 2012 88 Ethiopia UN Development Assistance Framework, UN Country Team, 2011 105
