Project description The evaluated project, the operational execution of which officially terminated on 31 December 2019, was designed to reduce the vulnerability of rural populations in mountainous areas of Djibouti to repeated water shortages. Such shortages have been increasingly frequent, culminating with four consecutive years of failed rainfall between 2008 and 2011 that depleted up to 80% of communal wells across the country. Due to the lack of water, farmers and pastoralists are experiencing a severe drop in agricultural and livestock production

  • Horn of Africa Crisis Situation Report No
    Horn of Africa Crisis Situation Report No. 28 23 December 2011 This report is produced by OCHA Eastern Africa in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It is issued by OCHA in New York. It covers the period from 16 to 23 December. The next report will be issued on 30 December. I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES • Tensions remain high in North Eastern Province of Kenya following a series of explosive attacks targeting military and police convoys in the area. • Aid workers have further reduced operations in the Dadaab refugee camps following heightened insecurity. • WHO has called on health partners to intensify cholera preventative activities in Mogadishu following an increase in cases. II. Situation Overview While drought conditions have eased in many locations due to the recent rains, drought conditions are expected to worsen in parts of the Horn of Africa in the coming months as the dry season sets in. A new food security analysis of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) system in Djibouti has indicated that the food security situation in Obock Region has deteriorated from ‘Stressed’ (IPC Phase 2) to ‘Crisis’ (IPC Phase 3).Deterioration in food security conditions is now likely in coastal and southeast areas as well. In Ethiopia, even as the seasonal deyr (October-December) rains continue in most lowland areas of southern and south-eastern Ethiopia, drought conditions are expected to worsen in the northernmost parts of the Afar Region and parts of northern Somali Region in the coming month. On the other hand, drought conditions in the northern, north-eastern and southern parts of Kenya have significantly eased following good rainfall received in the October-December short rains season.In Somalia, while the deyr rains have subsided in many parts of Lower and Middle Juba regions, flooding continues to affect many settlements in Middle Juba.

  • Djibouti, 2007
    DJIBOUTI 7 – 12 december 2007 At the end of 2007, we were a group of Swedes visiting Ethiopia and Djibouti. It was a private trip led by Eric Renman, a very keen mammal watcher, and because the main focus of this trip was mammals, and Eric knew that I am a mammal freak, I was offered to join. Because there is no report from this trip online and Djibouti is quite unknown as a mammal destination, I decided to make a short report on the Djibouti part of the trip. As I write this 2020 (during corona restrictions) I can’t remember everything and my camera equipment wasn’t very good either. Probably the situation in the country has changed a lot too. So not very up-to-date! It didn’t start very well. When it was my turn to check in for the flight to Djibouti in Addis Abeba, they just told me the plane was full. Most of the group, except for two more of us, went through. It was incredible hot and stressful and we start to plan to take a taxi to the border but suddenly we were allowed to board. After a late arrival we took a taxi to the pre-booked hotel in Djibouti Ville, just to find it was full . When our tour leader solved this problem the rest of us waited outside, and was offered by a man to buy lighters that could emit light with either Saddam Hussein or Usama Bin Laden as the motive. December 8 We got our two Land Rover Defenders in the morning, without contracts or payments, and started bird watching around the city.

  • Environmental Management of Assal-Fiale Geothermal Project in Djibouti: a Comparison with Geothermal Fields in Iceland
    Orkustofnun, Grensasvegur 9, Reports 2015 IS-108 Reykjavik, Iceland Number 7 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT OF ASSAL-FIALE GEOTHERMAL PROJECT IN DJIBOUTI: A COMPARISON WITH GEOTHERMAL FIELDS IN ICELAND Ali Barreh Adaweh Ministry of Energy in charge of Natural Resources Cite Ministerielle, Djibouti REPUBLIC OF DJIBOUTI [email protected] ABSTRACT The geological characteristics of the Assal rift are favourable for the development of geothermal energy in Djibouti. The Government plans to exploit the geothermal resources in the Assal region to enable public access to a reliable, renewable and affordable source of energy. The Assal-Fiale geothermal project is located on a site that has scientific, ecological and tourist importance. Using the geothermal resource is believed to be a positive way to generate electricity in the area but improper management of the resource can cause possible negative impacts on the environment. Environmental impacts assessment will help to understand and minimize negative impacts of the project and with good management can support the environmental, economic and social goals of sustainability. This report presents the possible environmental impacts of the project and their management which aims to minimize them in accordance with national and international regulations and the geothermal utilization experience gained in Iceland. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose of this study The geothermal potential in Djibouti is estimated around 1000 MWe, distributed among thirteen sites and mainly located in the Lake Assal region. The government’s plans, with its first geothermal project, are to exploit the geothermal resources in the Lake Assal region to enable public access to a reliable, renewable and affordable source of energy.
