  • Building Resilient Communities in the Face of Climate Change Through Community-Based Approaches in Somalia
    BUILDING RESILIENT COMMUNITIES IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED APPROACHES IN SOMALIA Abdullahi Sheikh Abdisalam, 50-years old farmer and the father of 9 children collects watermelon from his farm in Luuq district of Gedo Region, Somalia. Photo: Mohamed Bashir/NRC. Published by Abdikarim Ali, BRCiS NRC Communication and advocacy coordinator Luuq, also known as Luuq Ganaane, is one of the oldest districts of Gedo region of Jubba land state of Somalia. It locates at the bend of Juba River, where the Juba river flows down from north to south in a horseshoe shape. The district borders Ethiopia and Rabdure (Bakool Region) to the North, Wajiid District (Bakool), and Berdaale District (Bay Region) District to the East, Garbaharey District to the South and Beled Hawa and Dolow Districts to the West. The district has an estimated geographical area of 8,258 km2 and an estimated population of about 65,000 people living in the Luuq town, but the total population of the district is estimated at 185,703 people. Luuq has a hot climatic condition with little rainfall. The temperature is always high, and the areas are cyclically tropical by drought and the floods, which adversely affect the farm-based livelihoods. Several consecutive seasons of rain failure have led failed crop harvesting driving many people into food insecurity. Like any other sector, agriculture has adversely been affected by Somalia’s lack of functional and robust government in more than thirty years. Gedo region, in particular, Luuq district was severely affected, which was one of Somalia’s food basket areas.

  • Issued January 14 2004 HIGHLIGHTS
    Issued January 14 2004 HIGHLIGHTS · Sool Plateau Update : Rains of low intensity and limited spatial coverage fell in the first week of December but did little to alleviate the current humanitarian crisis in Sool Plateau. Nutritional status surveys reflect the deteriorating food security situation of residents. An acute malnutrition rate of 18.9% (W/H<2 z-score or oedema) was found during the first round of Sool Plateau sentinel site surveil- lance exercise in November/December 2003. A UNICEF led mission in mid-December 2003 also recorded an equally high malnutri- tion rate in Sool Plateau of Sanaag (4,841 children screened). The rate was significantly higher in Sool Plateau of Sool Region (2,049 children were screened). Civil insecurity in the area is now threatening to disrupt humanitarian relief operations in the region. · Drought in Hawd of Todgheer : An inter-agency rapid assessment led by the FSAU found that the poor and lower levles of the middle wealth pastoral group are facing a high risk of food shortage, largely as a result of poor Gu 2003 and failed Deyr 2003 rains. Affected households will need to be closely monitored during the harsh, dry Jilaal season. For more information on the drought stricken region, see page 2. · Galgadud Region : UN-OCHA Somalia and FSAU carried out a low level mission to Galagdud (13-20 December 2003) to districts where people had been displaced following civil insecurity in the region. This diplacement, combined with a two month delay in the onset of the Deyr rains has undermined agricultural and livestock activities, increasing the risk of food insecurity.

  • SOMALIA Food Security Update March 2009 Issued in Collaboration with FAO/Food Security Analysis Unit (FSAU)
    SOMALIA Food Security Update March 2009 Issued in collaboration with FAO/Food Security Analysis Unit (FSAU) • The consensus Climate Outlook Forum (COF23) recently Figure 1. Current estimated food security convened in Mombasa, Kenya has forecast an increased conditions (January to March 2009) likelihood of below normal gu (April‐June) rainfall in parts of southern and central Somalia due to the presence of a La Niña, a phenomenon which is associated with drier‐than‐ normal conditions in Eastern Africa. • Due to poor deyr rains in late 2008 and a harsh Jilaal (January‐March) dry season, water sources in many areas, including the central regions, parts of Gedo, Hiran, and Juba, have dried up earlier than normal, leading to water shortages. A deepening of the water crisis can be expected through the onset of the gu rains in mid‐April. • A decline in remittance inflows has occurred during the last several months following the global recession and a subsequent increase in unemployment among the Somali diaspora in Europe and North America. This may contribute to a further deterioration in food security among urban populations. Source: FSAU and FEWS NET Seasonal calendar and critical events Source: FEWS NET Current food security situation Food security in most of south and central Somalia continues to be affected by the impact of poor deyr production in 2008/09, uncertain market conditions, civil insecurity, unstable income sources, hyperinflation, and exorbitant prices for food and other essential commodity. As a result, 3.2 million people, including about 700,000 urban dwellers, are highly or extremely food insecure (Figure 1).
