EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The signature of the Ouagadougou Political Agreement (OPA) in March 2007 ushered in a new era of political and humanitarian development in Côte d’Ivoire. The Ivorian parties to the conflict came together to address the main obstacles that have long prevented a return to normality in the country. The progress made in the implementation of the OPA has placed Côte d’Ivoire in a post-conflict phase for the first time since the eruption of the socio-political crisis in 2002. As a part of this transition, there has been reinforced collaboration between humanitarian partners and the Government as well as improvements in the security situation, particularly following the deployment of the mixed brigade composed of the national army and members of the former rebellion, Forces Nouvelles (FN). Furthermore, these developments have helped to facilitate response efforts to meet the relief and protection needs of an estimated caseload of 120,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the western part of the country. Due to positive developments in the context, between March 2007 and September 2008 humanitarian agencies recorded the voluntary return of approximately 70,000 IDPs in the western regions of Moyen Cavally and 18 Montagnes. Another important benchmark of the transition in Côte d’Ivoire was the closure of the IDPs Transit Camp (Centre d’Accueil Temporaire des Déplacés [CATD]) in Guiglo on 31 July 2008. The CATD was established in December 2003 and had hosted 7,900 IDPs. Its closure conformed with the timeline agreed by relief actors and Government ministers during a reconciliation workshop held in May 2008 in Bloléquin, marking significant progress in the returns process. The humanitarian community also committed to support local authorities to provide alternatives on a case-by-case basis to the estimated 780 residual IDPs who remained in the CATD. Achievements in the returns process have paved the way towards sustainable recovery and development. Accordingly, United Nations organisations and NGOs have begun to adapt their programming and planning processes in line with this evolving context. The elaboration of the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for 2009 to 2013 will also help ensure that the outcomes of the emergency relief phase are sustained and that remaining humanitarian needs are taken into account by early recovery and development programmes. While the political atmosphere remains generally positive and all parties continue to support the implementation of the OPA, potential threats to long-term peace and stability remain relevant. In particular, there has been little or no progress in the disarmament of former rebels and the dismantling of militias, so the proliferation of weapons continues to influence the security environment. In late 2008, recognising the transitional context and reassessing needs, members of the humanitarian community in Côte d’Ivoire unanimously agreed not to embark in a conventional CAP for 2009 but rather update the humanitarian strategy (Common Humanitarian Action Plan - CHAP) and elaborate a gap-filling resource mobilisation in two areas: 1) Resettlement and Protection of IDPs in the west; 2) Nutrition and Food security in the north. Return of IDPs in the west has been ongoing but not without constraints and obstacles. There are continued concerns about human rights violations against displaced and returning populations, and the non-functional judiciary system allows for widespread impunity. Cases of sexual and gender- based violence (SGBV) are increasing and children’s vulnerability has also increased in areas of return. Many IDPs and returnees still require livelihoods support as well as access to safe water and basic health care. In what is considered a fragile environment, it remains critical for the humanitarian partners in Côte d’Ivoire to ensure that the most affected populations receive appropriate assistance in order to consolidate the gains made in the peace process and to avoid a potential relapse. In this respect, protection activities in support of a safe return and reintegration process in the west are a priority. Another humanitarian concern recently surfaced in Côte d’Ivoire. High malnutrition rates were revealed in July 2008 by the Standardised Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transitions (SMART) survey, conducted jointly by the National Nutrition Programme (PNN), WFP and UNICEF. The survey concluded that the food security situation in the north had deteriorated, following a poor maize and rice harvest in 2007, erosion of the means of production with the loss of oxen, and general loss of purchasing power as a result of the high food prices. Furthermore, the survey concluded that 1 CÔTE D’IVOIRE – CRITICAL HUMANITARIAN NEEDS the global acute malnutrition (GAM) rate
