MDRSS007 Drought Final Report Somalia: Drought DREF Operation: Operation n° MDRSO007 Date of Issue: 28 January 2020 Glide number: Operation start date: 12 March 2019 Operation end date: 11 August 2019 Host National Society: Somali Red Crescent Society Operation budget: CHF 307,466 (SRCS) Number of people affected: 1.5 million people Number of people assisted: 5,100 people (850 Households) Red Cross Red Crescent Movement partners currently actively involved in the operation: Seven partners including Norwegian Red Cross, German Red Cross, Canadian Red Cross, British Red Cross, Swedish Red Cross, Finnish Red Cross and Icelandic Red Cross. Other Partner Organizations actively involved in the operation: 27 agencies including NADFOR (Somaliland), UNOCHA, UNHCR, UNDP, WHO, UNICEF, WFP, FAO, CARE International, SCI, DRC, ADESO, TASS, ARC, NRC, Concern Worldwide, Islamic Relief, ADRA, ECHO, MSF, Oxfam, Candlelight, Havoyoco, Takulo, ADO, and GIZ. A. SITUATION ANALYSIS Description of the Disaster. A DREF request was made based on the rapid deterioration in rangeland resources as well as access to water and food security across Somaliland. A consensus forecast released at the end of August 2018 by the Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forum (GHACOF50), indicated a greater likelihood of normal-to-above normal Deyr (October- December 2018) rainfall, did not materialize. Indeed, the Deyr rains started late and were significantly below average across most of the country, with large parts of Central Somalia and some parts of Northern Somalia receiving 25-to- 50 percent of average rainfall according to IPC. Driven by the impacts of below-average Deyr seasonal (October to December 2018) rainfall, large-scale destitution, displacement from the 2016/2017 drought and protracted conflict, the number of people in the Crisis and Emergency levels of food insecurity was projected to reach 2.2 million by July 2019, if assistance is not significantly scaled up. This is more than 40 percent higher than the projection in January 2019. Overall, OCHA reported that 5.4 million people were food insecure by July. Although Guu rainfall in May improved in some areas, the rains have generally performed worst compared to the predicted average-to-near average for May. Many areas have experienced torrential rains in a short period, which have led to flash flooding; resulting in deaths in some instances. FAO-FSNAU estimated up to 50 percent decline in this year’s harvest (OCHA, 31st of May 2019). Although this has occurred in DREF target regions, it has not affected exact locations where implementation took place. According to the presentation by FSNAU in NAFORD office on 22nd of April 2019, significant deterioration in Gu/Karan crop harvest prospects, livestock production and reproduction is likely to continue, with likely adverse impacts on food security and nutrition outcomes in most parts of Somaliland. As detailed in the second appeal from NADFOR released on 25 April 2019 and circulated to all humanitarian actors, there is a high increase of hotspot areas that needed an immediate response, particularly in the Eastern regions of Somaliland Sool, Sanaag and Togdheer. Damage caused, numbers of affected population and their actual and potential needs are as follows1; • Pasture and water availability are below average of what is required for livelihoods. • Sharp increases in water prices observed in many affected areas. • Livestock body condition is poor-to-below average in most affected areas. • Livestock holding is below baseline in most affected areas. • Limited saleable animals and increasing destitution among poor pastoralists due to the impact of recurrent shocks and accumulated debt level with reduced access to additional loans. • Social support systems are overstretched due to cyclic shocks. • Poor pastoralists unable to take advantage of favorable livestock prices and Terms of Trade since they own limited saleable animals with below-average-to-poor body condition. • Light to moderate rainfall received in between early-to-mid April is preventing further deterioration in some areas. According to the report from NAFOR on 18 April 2019, some 28,500 households in different regions / locations are experiencing food insecurity and gaps in needs, which require urgent action as the table below shows: S/No. Region District # of households in need of Type of assistance. humanitarian assistance. 1 Togdheer Buuhoodle 4,000 Food and nutritional assistance Odwiene 4,000 Food and WASH assistance 2 Sanaag Eil-afweyn 2,500 Food assistance Erigavo 4,000 Food assistance 3 Sool Taleex 3,500 Food assistance and WASH Hudun 3,000 Food and WASH assistance SRCS Regional Branches supported the multi-partner situational assessments to identify hotspots, determine needs of affected populations, contribute to the emergency updates \ appeal from NADFOR and the FSNAU report. This was done by the Branches before the DREF was launched / approved to avoid overlap and \ or duplication of resource.

SRCS has a long-term record in providing life-saving assistance to people in need in Somalia. SRCS’ presence and local networks across the country are exceptionally well-established, which enables SRCS to also reach vulnerable populations who are not served by other humanitarian actors, for instance in highly remote and high-risk areas. SRCS has vast expertise with different types of programming through multilateral projects supported by IFRC, bilateral programmes with Movement partners and with ICRC. These include Youth Development, Disaster Risk Management (including Epidemic Prevention and Control, Community-Based Health and Nutrition, Community-Based Health and First Aid, HIV programmes, Restoring Family links), Community Resilience (including WASH, Livelihoods, Drought Resilience and Climate Change Adaptation), dissemination of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), Promotion of Red Cross Red Crescent Principles \ Humanitarian Values, and Rehabilitation for those abled differently. Action undertaken by the National Society to respond to the Disaster. SRCS has actively engaged with the communities and closely worked with Government in all six regions of Somaliland. It has well-trained Community and Branch Volunteers capable of implementing emergency response interventions and well-structured regional branch offices with transport / vehicles. Immediately following the needs assessment completed by SRCS between 18 - 21 February 2019, the National Society engaged with Communities, concerned Regional Branches, Local Authorities through inception meetings to discuss the implementation of the Cash Transfer

It tests whether there is a predictable sequence of responses adopted by rural households when faced with food insecurity and famine conditions and examines the implications of this for famine early warning and famine response. The research is based on fieldwork conducted in rural Somaliland in 1992. A sample of 100 households interviewed just before the outbreak of the war in 1987 were re-sampled, allowing comparisons to be made before and after the crisis.

The papers do not represent the official views of UNHCR. They are also available online under ‘publications’ at <www.unhcr.org>. ISSN 1020-7473 Introduction The classical definition of refugee contained in the 1951 Refugee Convention was ill- suited to the majority of African refugees, who started fleeing in large numbers in the 1960s and 1970s. These refugees were by and large not the victims of state persecution, but of civil wars and the collapse of law and order. Hence the 1969 OAU Refugee Convention expanded the definition of “refugee” to include these reasons for flight. Furthermore, the refugee-dissidents of the 1950s fled mainly as individuals or in small family groups and underwent individual refugee status determination: in-depth interviews to determine their eligibility to refugee status according to the criteria set out in the Convention. The mass refugee movements that took place in Africa made this approach impractical. As a result, refugee status was granted on a prima facie basis, that is with only a very summary interview or often simply with registration - in its most basic form just the name of the head of family and the family size.1 In the Somali context the implementation of this approach has proved problematic.

AFRICA Section 18 - Somalia (North-West) (submitted by the High Commissioner) GE.95-02298 A/AC.96/846/Part I/18 page 3 I.18 SOMALIA (NORTH-WEST) 1. Beneficiary population 1. The main beneficiaries of UNHCR activities in North-West Somalia are the estimated 650,000 returnees from neighbouring Djibouti, Ethiopia and Yemen, other parts of the Horn of Africa sub-region, and elsewhere. Out of this number, it is believed that between 300,000 to 400,000 Somali refugees had repatriated spontaneously from neighbouring countries to North-West Somalia in 1991. The expected total number of repatriants during 1995 and 1996 is 350,000, returning from: Ethiopia (280,000), Djibouti (25,000), Kenya (35,000), and Yemen, Saudi Arabia and other countries (10,000). 2. There are currently 400 UNHCR-assisted Ethiopian refugees in Hargeisa. The majority of these, about 64 per cent, are adult men, mainly former military personnel or officials of the previous Ethiopian regime. 2. Developments in 1994 and 1995 3. The relative peace and stability which North-West Somalia enjoyed from mid-1993 allowed UNHCR to undertake a number of preparatory activities during 1994 to encourage and facilitate the voluntary return of the Somali refugees who still live in neighbouring countries, mainly in Ethiopia and Djibouti.

Authorities have endorsed the SDGs and included them in the national development framework, the Somaliland National Development Plan II (NDPII). Nonetheless, the government of Somaliland remains unable to share this progress with official UN mechanisms because of its political status. To ensure that Somaliland’s efforts to implement the SDGs are shared with the rest of the world, civil society has decided to fill the gap – and report on the process and progress on SDG16+ implementation in Somaliland. This is an independent progress report that is produced and owned by the Somaliland SDG16+ Coalition – a group of civil society organisations working to implement SDG16+ in all regions of Somaliland. The report itself is a result of an inclusive and comprehensive consultation process involving civil society and relevant government organs and departments.

  • Overcoming Challenges in an Unrecognized Economy: Experience from Somaliland
    American International Journal of Contemporary Research Vol. 7, No. 1; March 2017 Overcoming Challenges in an Unrecognized Economy: Experience from Somaliland Muktar Adan A. (Koshin) A Researcher, Currently enrolled a Postgraduate Program School of Business University of Nairobi Kenya Abstract The crumble of the great Somali Democratic Republic does not designate to Somalis that they lost their precious nation. The formidable pride of the Somali nomad, his extraordinary sense of superiority as an individual, and his firm conviction that he is the sole master of his actions and subject to no authority except that of God. But it’s a loss of all the national institutions and the hierarchy of governance, a loss of the brilliant Somali culture, academics, professional personnel, the proudness and patriotism the dignity and all sorts of humanity This study analyses the economic meltdowns that hampered Somaliland. In 1991 all state institutions that provided and regulated financial services, including the central bank and the entire banking system collapsed, the collapse of the commercial banks in the 1990s and the loss of depositor’s money, eroded public confidence in government and banks. The former British Somaliland protectorate (now the Republic of Somaliland) got its independence on 26th June 1960 and after four days united with southern Somalis’ which was colonized by Italy and that was the beginning of three good decades of anarchy, chaos and mayhem which was confronted by the northern Somali’s who had united with their southern brothers. This dishonesty led the northern Somali’s to withdraw from the unionon May 1991, which led to the rebirth of the Republic of Somaliland.
