Lughaya district has continued to experience high rates of malnutrition with severe drought further experienced towards the end of 2015 and the beginning of 2016. In response to the high malnutrition rates WV in partnership with WFP and UNICEF have been implementing targeted feeding programs in Lughaya and Gabiley districts for the last 4 years. WV remains the only non-governmental organization in Lughaya district. In November 2015, WV in partnership with WFP conducted a coverage survey of the OTP and TSFP in Lughaya district that revealed coverage rates of 60.0% and 50.4% respectively. To continue evaluating performance of the programs and in particular following the effects of the drought, WV sought to conduct a follow-up coverage investigation in 2016. Objectives of the coverage survey • To identify barriers and promoters of access to MAM and SAM interventions of the: • Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (Lughaya district) • Outpatient Therapeutic Program (Lughaya district). • Maternal Child Health and Nutrition Program (Lughaya and Gabiley districts) • Establish and document Point and Single coverage of the programs (where applicable). • Identify and refer severely and moderately malnourished children not covered by the current interventions. • Review uptake of the Lughaya 2015 coverage survey recommendations. • Generate practical recommendations that would lead to better access and coverage of the nutrition program. • Build the capacity of WV staff, MoH and Partners in conducting coverage surveys using Semi Quantitative Evaluation of Access and Coverage. Methodology The coverage investigation utilized the SQUEAC methodology and covered the period January to September 2016. Data collection including training was conducted from 24th October to 10th November 2016. FINDINGS Boosters and Barriers BOOSTERS BARRIERS Community awareness of the program Migration Community acceptance Poor health seeking behavior Strong referral system Inadequate inclusion of potential key sources of referral Reduced stigma Lack of CNW/CHW in some rural villages Active case finding Inadequate communication of program schedule TBAs support in referrals Specific to OTP Coverage survey report of the WV Lughaya and Gabiley nutrition programs, October – December 2016. vi Low defaulting SAM children in TSFP Knowledge of malnutrition Lack of timely payment of CHWs Specific to OTP Specific to the TSFP Proximity to sites Long distance to the TSFP SC in Geerise Weak integration of OTP and TSFP Program efficiency during distributions Shortage and delay in provision of supplies Consistent supplies Coverage estimates OTP and TSFP The OTP and TSFP achieved coverage rates above the acceptable SPHERE standards of 50% coverage for rural contexts. OTP TSFP Point coverage 74.7% (58.5%-85.6%) 71.8% (57.3% - 83.0%) Single coverage 83.9% (72.6%-90.9%) 79.2% (69.1-86.6%) MCHN Lughaya Lughaya MCH Gabiley (MCH district catchment area catchment) Variable % % % PLW in program 40.8% 67.7% 80.7% 6-23 months in program 36.4% 65.9% 79.3% Recommendations To continue improving program coverage there is need to enhance various aspects in regard to; program design, community mobilization and sensitization, program implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

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.

    NEW ISSUES IN REFUGEE RESEARCH Working Paper No. 65 Pastoral society and transnational refugees: population movements in Somaliland and eastern Ethiopia 1988 - 2000 Guido Ambroso UNHCR Brussels E-mail : [email protected] August 2002 Evaluation and Policy Analysis Unit Evaluation and Policy Analysis Unit United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees CP 2500, 1211 Geneva 2 Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] Web Site: www.unhcr.org These working papers provide a means for UNHCR staff, consultants, interns and associates to publish the preliminary results of their research on refugee-related issues. 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.

  • Somaliland Assistance Bulletin
    Somaliland Assistance Bulletin 1 – 30 November 2005 HUMANITARIAN SITUATION Security & Access The overall security situation in Somaliland remained stable. A verdict was issued on the trail case of the 10 arrested suspects of the killings of four humanitarian workers occurring in 2003 and 2004. The case originally started in March 2005. According to the regional court in Hargeisa, 8 men were found guilty of "terrorism" and were sentenced to death. Following the killing of the 4 expatriate humanitarian workers, the UN in collaboration with the national authorities established a Special Protection Unit (SPU) initially to provide protection for humanitarian workers of UN & international NGOs, subsequently extended to the rest of the community. Since then no further incidents were reported. A deadly mine accident occurred in Burao on 16 November 2005 where a vehicle diverted from the main road towards a roadside short cut. Three out of a total of seven passengers were reported dead, including one UN staff member. Somaliland Mine Action Center (SMAC), supported by UNDP, coordinates mine action activities, since late 1999, an approximate area of around 115 million square meters has been cleared.

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.
