Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP)

The CAP is much more than an appeal for money. It is an inclusive and coordinated programme cycle of:

• strategic planning leading to a Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP); • resource mobilisation (leading to a Consolidated Appeal or a Flash Appeal); • coordinated programme implementation; • joint monitoring and evaluation; • revision, if necessary; and • reporting on results.

The CHAP is a strategic plan for humanitarian response in a given country or region and includes the following elements:

• a common analysis of the context in which humanitarian action takes place; • an assessment of needs; • best, worst, and most likely scenarios; • stakeholder analysis, i.e. who does what and where; • a clear statement of longer-term objectives and goals; • prioritised response plans; and

• a framework for monitoring the strategy and revising it if necessary.

The CHAP is the foundation for developing a Consolidated Appeal or, when crises break or natural disasters strike, a Flash Appeal. Under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator, the CHAP is developed at the field level by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Country Team. This team mirrors the IASC structure at headquarters and includes UN agencies and standing invitees, i.e. the International Organization for Migration, the Red Cross Movement, and NGOs that belong to ICVA, Interaction, or SCHR. Non-IASC members, such as national NGOs, can be included, and other key stakeholders in humanitarian action, in particular host Governments and donors, should be consulted.

The Humanitarian Coordinator is responsible for the annual preparation of the consolidated appeal document. The document is launched globally each November to enhance advocacy and resource mobilisation. An update, known as the Mid-Year Review, is to be presented to donors in July 2006.

Donors provide resources to appealing agencies directly in response to project proposals. The Financial Tracking Service (FTS), managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), is a database of donor contributions and can be found on www.reliefweb.int/fts

In sum, the CAP works to provide people in need the best available protection and assistance, on time.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

As a result of civil wars in the Mano River Union (MRU) countries, Guinea hosted nearly one million refugees from Sierra Leone and Liberia for over ten years. It continues to also cope with Guinean Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), following rebel attacks from 2000-2001, as well as with additional refugees and returnees from the 2002 conflict in Côte d’Ivoire. The failed coup against President Lansana Conte in January 2005 has contributed to increasing the sense of insecurity of Guineans, despite a number of measures undertaken by the Government to secure the borders. The linking of international assistance to Guinea’s compliance with good governance and output-oriented macro- economic reforms has resulted in increasing poverty, high inflation, and the breakdown of social services and infrastructure, including telecommunications and transportation.

The humanitarian situation is marked by rising mortality, morbidity and malnutrition rates. The outbreak of almost eradicated diseases such as polio and yellow fever, a 50% increase in fuel prices, and the continued inability of the Government to provide basic social services, have further contributed to a deterioration of living conditions of an already vulnerable population. Today, Guinea’s social indicators have become similar to those of countries emerging from a prolonged war.

Despite these ongoing humanitarian challenges, the Government made considerable progress throughout 2005 in meeting some of the international community’s concerns. They included the resumption of dialogue with the opposition parties, the revision of the law on decentralisation, the liberalisation of both the media and the exchange rate regime, and lastly, preparations for municipal elections. There is some hope that international cooperation will soon resume, especially after a positive evaluation by International Monetary Fund (IMF) in September 2005.

Guinea still faces some key challenges, including the following: (a) upholding free and fair municipal elections by the end of 2005, which would include the participation of opposition parties; (b) coping with potentially destabilising effects if the current political impasse in Côte d’Ivoire leads to a resumption of armed conflict in that country, which would prevent the repatriation of Liberian refugees, bring in a new influx of refugees and returnees, and pose a threat to civilian populations living along the border; (c) proceeding with the macro-economic and political reforms initiated during 2004-2005 and finding adequate and durable solutions to the critical socio-economic situation in order to prevent an increase in humanitarian needs; (d) decreasing the relatively high malnutrition, morbidity and mortality rates, improving food security, halting the spread of Human Immune-Deficiency Virus (HIV)/ Acquired Immune-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and the prevalence of other communicable diseases such as cholera, poliomyelitis, yellow fever and malaria; and, (e) maintaining the international community’s attention to urgent rehabilitation and development needs so as to reduce vulnerability and poverty, and to prevent an increase in tension. To assist with these challenges, the Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP) 2006 will strive to achieve the following strategic goals:

• Reinforce coordination, protection and advocacy on behalf of the most vulnerable; • Enhance early warning and emergency preparedness measures; • Reduce vulnerability through more sustainable initiatives and prepare a transition strategy from relief to early recovery.

In pursuance of these goals, 29 projects have been submitted by five non-Governmental organisations (NGO), five United Nations (UN) agencies, the UN Department of Safety and Security (DSS) and the UN Office for the Coordination for Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), requesting a total of US$ 32,874,5811 to address the humanitarian needs of nearly 630,000 people affected by malnutrition, sexual and gender based violence, and HIV/AIDS in Guinea Forestière, Haute Guinea and other areas. The majority of the projects aim at addressing food security and health, providing international protection to refugees, and responding to the most critical needs of host communities and other vulnerable groups in the same areas. The Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP) for 2006 contained in this CAP will complement a number of longer-term rehabilitation and early recovery initiatives planned for 2006 by donors, NGOs, the Red Cross Movement, and individual UN agencies within the framework of the Common Country Assessment/UN Development Assistance Framework (CCA/UNDAF) for 2006- 2011.

1 As World Food Programme (WFP) activities for Guinea are incorporated into WFP’s regional operations for West Africa; the projects and budgets are included in the West Africa Regional CAP.

2. 2005 IN REVIEW2

The continued deterioration of the socio-economic situation in Guinea and the inability of the Government to provide basic social services to the most vulnerable populations coupled with inadequate funding levels for humanitarian and rehabilitation programs were the major challenges facing the humanitarian community and its partners in the implementation of the CHAP in 2005. The following strategic goals were set:

• Reinforce coordination, protection and advocacy on behalf of the most vulnerable; • Reduce vulnerability through sustainable initiatives; • Ensure Guinea’s participation in a sub-regional strategy to stabilise the sub-region.

An overview of progress and constraints in the implementation of the CHAP is provided below.

2.1 PROTECTION, COORDINATION, AND ADVOCACY The Government as well as the international community provided limited resources to enhance assistance and protection of vulnerable communities, including non-refugee populations. A protection working group was created, which met regularly in Conakry. It provided a framework for the development of mechanisms for reinforcing the capacity of the local authorities to better understand and address protection needs of vulnerable groups. In cooperation with partners, another important measure was the launch by the Government of a national birth registration exercise aimed at improving the 48% rate of registered births.

The National Committee on Child Protection chaired by the Minister of Social Affairs held monthly meetings to discuss issues related to unaccompanied children. In this context, the Government signed Memoranda Of Understanding (MOUs) with Mali and Côte d’Ivoire to prevent child trafficking and improve border control. As part of a reunification exercise, 60 separated refugee children were reunited with their families in Sierra Leone. Joint cross-border coordination allowed local authorities to locate, for example, an abducted child in Liberia and return the child to Guinea. Efforts have been made to reinforce security in refugee camps in order to maintain their civilian character, despite unconfirmed reports of infiltration by armed groups. The United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) has also designated two reception days per week for urban refugees to report any protection related problems.

To encourage Liberian refugees to voluntary repatriation, UNHCR and other partners, including donors, carried out several campaigns to address any repatriation concerns. The Liberian refugees were provided with financial incentives and regular briefings on the security, infrastructure, social services and living conditions in the places of return. The voluntary repatriation of Liberian refugees commenced in October 2004 with an average repatriation rate of 2,000 – 3,000 refugees per month. By October 2005, about 18,000 Liberians had been repatriated. Some 59,000 Liberians and 3,500 Ivorians remain in camps. Ivorian refugees continue to wait for an improvement in the security situation of their country. A full-scale repatriation is likely to start after the October 2005 elections in Liberia. The remaining caseload of 2,060 Sierra Leonean refugees in Boreah camp continued to receive relief assistance and protection, in preparation for their local integration.

On a comparative basis, efforts to raise awareness of the needs of forgotten vulnerable groups, such as IDPs, returnees and host communities, as laid out in the CHAP 2005, yielded mixed results. Women and children in host and refugee communities benefited from the services of free legal clinics, which increased awareness of human rights and international humanitarian law instruments. However an income-generating project carried out by United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) and a food security project implemented by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) had limited effects on their beneficiaries as insufficient resources prevented the vulnerable groups from benefiting uniformly/equally.

2 The analysis contained in this document is based on the following recent assessments and surveys: (a) preliminary results of an inter- agency assessment of the most critical needs in Guinea Forestière and Haute Guinea carried out in July and August 2005 (unpublished); (b) food security analysis by WFP in August 2005; (c) a preliminary report of the Guinea Survey on Demography and Health (EDS) completed in 2005 by the Ministry of Planning and United States Agency for International Development (USAID) (unpublished); (d) an Action Contre la Faim (ACF) nutrition survey in Gueckedou undertaken in 2005; (e) preliminary results of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) nutrition survey in Conakry in 2005; (f) missions reports and field visits by humanitarian partners.

GUINEA

Inter-agency assessments of the most critical needs were carried out for the first time in Guinea Forestière and Haute Guinea in June and September 2005 respectively. These assessments evaluated the access levels to health and nutrition, water and sanitation, and education services. They also included a sample household inquiry on coping mechanisms and the impact of the prolonged presence of refugees, IDPs and returnees on host communities and the environment. The final outcome of the assessments will be presented shortly. A vulnerability assessment of food security needs was carried out by WFP in May 2005 and the results indicated increasing vulnerability due to food insecurity.

Donors, NGOs and UN agencies were regularly involved in established coordination structures, thereby enhancing inter-agency coordination at the national and regional levels. With support from the international community and national counterparts, the local authorities were able to take the lead in the coordination of humanitarian and early recovery assistance programmes. Unlike previous years, the Government, in cooperation with UN agencies, NGOs and donors, held regular consultations on the sector working groups, resulting in improved analysis of the humanitarian situation and the outstanding humanitarian needs. In an effort to reinforce inter-agency information management and sharing, an Information Management Unit (IMU) was created with support from the European Community Humanitarian Aid Office (ECHO). The IMU became functional in September 2005.

2.2. REDUCING LONGER-TERM VULNERABILITY Due to limited funding, UN agencies and NGOs utilised funds from their regular country programmes to assist vulnerable groups not included in the refugee programme. Below is a summary of activities undertaken in 2005 to reduce vulnerability.

Health: Cholera affected 2,707 people with 85 deaths (case fatality rate of 3.14). Yellow fever control, and poliomyelitis immunisation were carried out as the second round of the polio vaccination campaign, launched in April 2005, reached a global coverage of 111%.3 Efforts were made to lower malnutrition, morbidity and mortality rates through targeted programmes in water and sanitation, nutrition, and mother and child health care. An eight-month supply of essential drugs was provided to 36 health centres in N’Zerekore, Yomou, Lola and Beyla prefectures in the last quarter of 2005. Moderate and severe malnutrition rates were found to be lower in refugee camps at 0.9% and 0% respectively in comparison to the global rates of 9.4% and 1.8%4. The epidemiological situation remained stable in refugee camps in terms or morbidity and mortality rates. Through its sub office in N’Zerekore, World Health Organisation (WHO) has supported disease surveillance among the refuges and host communities.

Water and sanitation: N’Zerekore and Macenta prefectures benefited from the establishment of 500 latrines. 1,255 water pumps were made operational during 2005, which benefited approximately 610,000 persons, and 20 water points were constructed in Guinea Forestière.

Food aid and Agriculture: Progress has been made in the identification system of food aid beneficiaries and in the gradual reduction in food aid dependency. However, the reduction of food rations and changes in the food basket had a number of negative effects on beneficiaries. Food aid continued to be provided to moderately and severely malnourished children, their mothers and HIV/AIDS victims.

In a bid to improve coping mechanisms and food security among 10,000 returnee households from Côte d’Ivoire, Sierra Leonean refugees and the host communities, FAO undertook the provision of agricultural inputs and technical assistance in Guinea Forestière. School vegetable gardens received seeds and tools, which increased the self-reliance of school feeding programmes. A small number of income generating projects was also implemented. They helped a total of 20,000 IDPs, returnees, and host communities to increase their food security and coping mechanisms. However, in spite of carefully planned emergency agriculture response plans, food security has not improved.

Education: Host families constructed additional classrooms using local material to reduce the average class size down from 124 pupils.

3 More children were vaccinated than originally targeted. 4 Source: International Federation of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) for malnutrition rates in the camps and the Government’s Demographic and Health Survey (EDS) for malnutrition rates for the population in 2005.

GUINEA

Rehabilitation: As a complement to the CAP 2005, a poverty reduction programme targeting about 5,000 women in Haute Guinea has been conducted. Ex-volunteers were removed from the list of targeted beneficiaries, as there remains confusion among stakeholders on the required needs for this group. FAO used funds from its regular country program to strengthen the national capacity to respond to a locust invasion during the first half of 2005. The World Bank signed an agreement with the Government, which enabled the issuance of a US$ 25 million credit to support the national health policy.

2.3 ENSURE GUINEA’S PARTICIPATION IN A REGIONAL STRATEGY TO STABILISE THE SUB-REGION In pursuit of a regional strategy to stabilise the sub-region, the UN Country Teams (UNCTs) of Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Côte d’Ivoire embarked on a joint coordination approach to address cross- border issues of common concern relating to instability in the MRU region and Côte d’Ivoire. The first consultative meeting of the MRU and Côte d’Ivoire took place early in 2005 and the meeting resulted in recommendations on the following issues: illegal traffic in small arms and light weapons, youth unemployment, child trafficking, protection of refugees, security, border management, Disarmament, Demobilisation, and Reintegration (DDR) and the risk of re-mobilisation, epidemics, HIV/AIDS, peace building, and conflict prevention. A second consultative meeting is scheduled for the end of 2005 in Conakry to approve a matrix of common cross-border initiatives within the MRU region and Côte d’Ivoire.

Other cross-border initiatives included the signing of non-aggression pacts among communities of the same ethnic groups in the MRU countries, which helped promote peace and reconciliation. MRU consultations have also contributed to solving the border issue of the Yenga enclave5. However, 5,000 ex-volunteers and an unknown number of ex-combatants, who fled demobilisation in Liberia, have not been demobilised/reintegrated due to lack of funds.

Regional as well as country-specific contingency planning were carried out, taking into consideration the implications of a possible resumption of armed conflict in Côte d'Ivoire and its impact on Guinea and the sub-region.

2.4 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW The original CAP 2005 requested a total of US$ 43.7 million to provide assistance to conflicted affected populations in Guinea Forestière, Haute Guinea and other areas. The request was revised downwards after the CAP Mid-Year Review to US$ 39 million (-10.5%) to address remaining humanitarian needs. Since then, new pledges/contributions have been received. As of 2 November 2005 the funding level is 51%, with US$ 19.9 million committed/contributed. The current shortfall amounts to US$ 19.2 million of the total revised budget.

Despite increased humanitarian and early recovery needs, all sectors - with the exception of the multi- sectoral program for refugees - remained critically under-funded as of end-October 2005. In total, over 81% of the allocated funds were provided for refugee assistance and only 19% for non-refugee needs. UNHCR allocated un-earmarked funds to CAP projects to benefit not only refugees but also some host communities.

Two NGOs included in the CAP received funding in the sectors of health and protection: American Refugee Committee (ARC) (79%) and Hammer Forum (100%). Contributions outside of the framework of the CAP to UN agencies, NGOs, and the Red Cross Movement amounted to US$ 2.8 million, earmarked for protection and refugees (Red Cross Movement), health and nutrition (Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)), food aid (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ)), and logistics (International Organisation of Migration (IOM)). As of 2 November 2005, uncommitted pledges by ECHO to UN agencies, NGOs and the Red Cross movement amounted at US$ 9.7 million.

5 The borders between Sierra Leone and Guinea at a place called the Parrot’s Beak were clearly demarcated.

GUINEA

Inadequate funding of humanitarian and early recovery programs contributed to a deterioration of the living conditions of beneficiaries, as relief assistance to some target groups and the implementation of some essential programs were postponed. Water and sanitation, health, agriculture, basic education, and rule of law remained critically under funded.

2.5 LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE CAP 2005 • Humanitarian assistance by itself cannot adequately address the increasing vulnerability and the needs of IDPs, returnees, and other forgotten vulnerable groups. Following the example of traditional refugee assistance, integrated packages of relief, rehabilitation, and early recovery assistance need to be provided concomitantly to enhance self-reliance.

• Despite efforts undertaken to increase the visibility of the Guinean crisis, there has been limited interest in funding humanitarian and rehabilitation projects outside of refugee camps. The international community’s consensus that remaining humanitarian needs should be addressed in tandem with a transition to development programme has not translated into adequate levels of financial support.

• An inclusive coordination system involving relief, recovery, and rehabilitation partners proved useful and essential in maximising results and planning for more sustainable actions. Inter- agency needs assessments were carried out and they provided a clearer picture of the different levels of vulnerability in Guinea Forestière and Haute Guinea. Funds still need to be made available for more comprehensive nutrition surveys in the most critical areas.

3. THE 2006 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

3.1 THE CONTEXT AND ITS HUMANITARIAN CONSEQUENCES 3.1. A The Context 2005 was marked by key socio-economic and political progress such as the designation of a new Prime Minister, the resumption of dialogue with the opposition, the revision of the law on decentralisation, the liberalisation of both the media and the exchange rate regime, and the preparations for municipal elections. These events resulted in several bilateral and multilateral development partners reaffirming their support for the new policies and resuming cooperation with the Government. Significant long–term efforts have been either planned or are underway with the support of the European Union (EU), the World Bank and the IMF. An IMF delegation, which visited Guinea in September 2005, was assured of the Government’s willingness to fulfil the conditions for the resumption of a budget-supported programme, which had been interrupted in 2002. In the Human Development Report 2005, Guinea ranked 156 out of 177 countries in the human development index, recovering from the four level drop to 160 in 2004.

These signs of progress have not yet translated into changes in the socio-economic situation. Guinea remains categorised as one the Highly-Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) but it is not listed as one of the countries to benefit from debt relief. There has been a sharp decrease in the living standards and coping mechanisms of a population that for over a decade has been locked into a structural humanitarian crisis characterised by widespread destruction of infrastructure, large-scale displacement, collapse in productivity, high morbidity, mortality and malnutrition rates, and continued lack of adequate access to food security and basic social services. 52% of the population lives below the poverty level in comparison to 40% in 1996 and 49% in 2004.6 The gross national per capita income dropped from US$ 450 in 2000 to US$ 410 in 2002. A 50% increase in fuel costs, sharp increases in prices of food and other basic commodities, and the rapid depreciation of the national currency have had direct repercussions on household living conditions and have greatly limited the capacity of the country to invest in key development sectors. Shortages of foreign currency and inequalities in wealth distribution have worsened an already critical situation. The breakdown in transportation and telecommunication services as well as intermittent water and power cuts have added to widespread dissatisfaction and tension among the population.

According to the draft CCA for 2006-2011, the proportion of the population suffering from hunger and malnutrition has increased from 25% in 1992 to 44% - 85% in 2002/2003. The report indicates that 90% of malnourished people live in rural areas and one in three households are confronted with severe malnutrition, with children under five and pregnant and lactating women most affected.

Regarding the municipal election, a national electoral commission was established in October in order to ensure free, fair and transparent elections as requested by the opposition coalition, Republican Front for Democratic Change Front Républicain pour l’Alternance Démocratique (FRAD)7. Tensions due, for example, to delays in the electoral process could further exacerbate the socio-economic crisis and adversely affect the humanitarian situation.

Sub-regional instability continued to threaten peace in Guinea and to dominate discussions within Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the MRU. The outcome of the peace process in Côte d’Ivoire can have a major impact on the humanitarian situation. The current political impasse in Côte d’Ivoire, culminating from the postponement of the October elections, could play a key role in maintaining peace or destabilising the sub-region. The high level of vulnerability and the reports of illegal trafficking of children and arms continued to be an issue of concern for mainly Guinea Forestière and Haute Guinea. Arms trafficking contributed to an increase in armed banditry and constituted additional security risks for civilians.

A series of natural disasters occurred in 2005, including a locust invasion that affected the Sahel region. The locust infestation ravaged fruit trees and vegetable gardens in 19 prefectures in Guinea. Flooding also occurred in three communes in Conakry as well as Gaoual, rendering 4,000 people homeless in 16 villages and destroying 576 huts, 13 houses, and 92 granaries. The demand for more

GUINEA arable land in Guinea Forestière led to the deforestation of at least 200,000 hectares8 of land for shelter, firewood, and agriculture. Tougher rules are needed to curb deforestation, while at the same time cheaper fuel needs to be provided to vulnerable populations to allow them to replace firewood for cooking.

3.1. B The Humanitarian Consequences The humanitarian situation continues to be characterised by a difficult socio-economic environment, political stagnation, and the lack of access to basic social services. An increase in fuel prices and the subsequent rise in the prices of basic commodities have had an adverse effect on the pattern of life of the population. Many people cannot afford even one meal per day. The unemployment rate has steadily increased and those that are employed have not received an incremental salary increase to meet with changing economic realities.

Medical services continue to be inadequate due to the Government’s discontinued financial support to hospitals. As a result, high fees are charged for the provision of medical services. Classrooms are over-crowded, particularly in regions hosting refugee populations, and teacher’s salaries are meagre. To make matters worse, power supply and pipe-borne water have become more unreliable.

Increasingly vulnerable populations, particularly the youth in Guinea Forestière and Haute Guinea, continue to be affected by disease, hunger, extreme poverty, and limited education and employment opportunities as well as poor access to basic social services and clean water and sanitation. This situation could have dire consequences for these populations if not appropriately addressed. The lack of resources necessary to cushion the pressure, which refugees, IDPs and returnees have exerted on local structures, has further weakened social infrastructures and the provision of basic social services.

The deteriorating living conditions throughout the country have caused tensions within households and among ethnic groups, leading to the surfacing of protection incidents. Widespread impunity, coupled with illiteracy, child criminality, and youth unemployment have contributed to an increased sense of insecurity, especially for women and children. Despite progress made in education, particularly in the schooling of girls, fewer girls than boys go to school. This remains a major challenge, as approximately eight out of ten women are illiterate. Female genital mutilation, sexual abuse and exploitation as well as exclusion from the spheres of decision-making persist. Sexual gender-based violence (SGBV) has contributed to a rapid rise in HIV/AIDS, particularly along border areas.

Food security In spite of the increase in national food production, accessibility to adequate food quality remains a problem due to the low household purchasing power and limited access to arable land. In rural areas, 90% of the people suffer from hunger and malnutrition and more than 36% of the households are confronted with severe food insecurity. The most food-insecure areas are Kankan (42%), Nzérékoré (54%) and Faranah (38%). The nutritional situation has considerably deteriorated and is worrying in some areas, particularly in Guinée Forestière9. 58% of the 364 vulnerable households interviewed during a inter-agency needs assessments in Guinea Forestière in June 2005 also specified food as the priority for immediate action, followed by health (27%), socio-economic development (12%), shelter (7%), water and education (3% each).

Farming households require seeds and tools to augment their agricultural production as well as animal healthcare to reduce livestock morbidity and mortality. Challenges in the fight against food insecurity include the maintenance of self-help capacity for vulnerable groups, the rehabilitation of ground cover, restoration of soil fertility and protection of cultivable land. Sustainable development actions to complement emergency assistance should be adopted to contain this downward trend.

Health and nutrition While there has been some progress with regard to sector working group coordination, healthcare services continue to be woefully inadequate. There is a lack of trained personnel as well as equipment and essential medicines in most facilities. The interruption of a Government financial subvention to medical services since 2004 has contributed to an increase in the cost of services, putting them beyond the reach of most vulnerable populations. Referral services from health centres to hospitals or

GUINEA between health structures are in many cases non-existent. A study on the impact of the health and nutrition situation in Guinea Forestière, which was conducted by the Government in cooperation with humanitarian partners in mid-2005, is in its final stage; recommendations will be issued for practical and strategic action.

In Gueckedou, a malnutrition survey conducted by ACF showed a 10% global malnutrition among children under five years of age in comparison to 2% recorded in refugee camps. For children aged 6 to 29 months, the global malnutrition rose to 15.4%. Poverty prevents access to food, and morbidity, lack of access to basic health and water services, bad hygiene practices as well as the precarious living conditions are further causes of malnutrition.

Cholera outbreaks between April and September 2005 affected 1,919 people and led to 71 deaths. 10 Diseases such as polio and yellow fever, once considered to have been eliminated, resurfaced after a years-long break, despite regular vaccination campaigns. The main causes of mortality among vulnerable populations remain malaria, Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI), and anaemia. In refugee camps, cases of malaria have remained one of the major causes for medical consultation, with 107 cases per 1,000 persons per month, followed by ARI with 76 per 1,000 persons per month. ARI remained of the leading causes of morbidity among children under five (191 cases per 1,000 children per month), followed by malaria (157 cases per 1,000 children per month) and anaemia (12 per 1,000 children per month).

High HIV sero-prevalence, especially in areas affected by sub-regional conflict and population movements, has been reported. The average sero-prevalence among pregnant women steadily increased in urban environments and could soon reach 6.5%, a rate that was projected to be reached 10 years later in 2015 11.

Water and Sanitation The provision of potable water for the majority of the population remained an almost impossible task. A sample of interviewed households indicated the need to improve hygiene (83%), increase water sources (77%), conduct hygiene education (77%), provide water containers (64%), and rehabilitate water points and pumps (52%)12.

Education Despite some improvement in global education indicators (see Annex I), the school system is marked by overcrowded classrooms. This is caused mainly by an increase in the number of students from Côte d’Ivoire. There is also a lack of teachers, equipment, drinking water, and toilets.

Priority needs for 2006 Meeting the basic needs of the remaining 64,000 refugees living in camps and the protection needs of more than 7,000 urban refugees is a key priority for 2006. If the planned promotion of voluntary repatriation of Liberian refugees leads to the return of a large number, UNHCR will then activate the local integration program for the residual caseload of Liberian refugees. Ivorian refugees living in the camp in N’Zerekore will continue to receive multi-sectoral assistance and those who opt for facilitated voluntary repatriation will be assisted to return home, provided that the security situation in Côte d’Ivoire permits it. Although conditions in the camps have improved, proper assistance is required to ensure refugee protection and continued peaceful cohabitation with host communities. IDPs willing to return or resettle in their host communities areas need to be assisted with protection, return and reintegration packages, including access to arable land, agricultural inputs, basic health, water and sanitation, and education services within the framework of this CAP. Rehabilitation and income generating activities should further be implemented through transitional actions in the context of the EU rehabilitation programme for Guinea Forestière.13

In order to improve food security, the most vulnerable populations must have access to arable land as well as seeds and tools. Nutrition surveys are required in some prefectures of Guinea Forestière, Haute and Moyenne Guinea, and Conakry. The coordination capacity of local authorities needs to be strengthened at the national and prefecture levels for emergency preparedness, monitoring, protection and the delivery of assistance, as humanitarian organisations prepare to phase out their activities in Guinea.

3.2 SCENARIOS Best Case • Free and fair municipal elections are held in December 2005 with the participation of main political parties and independent media. In Côte d’Ivoire, the political situation stabilises and allows for the preparation of presidential elections. General elections in Liberia are free and fair. The MRU countries and Côte d’Ivoire continue to reinforce peace-building processes and renew non-aggression pacts. • The promotional phase of voluntary repatriation of Liberian refugee takes place smoothly and a majority of the camp-based refugees are able to return home in safety and dignity; the voluntary repatriation of some 2,000 Ivorian refugees is facilitated. Sub-regional cooperation allows for improved security and the reduction of malaria and the spread of HIV/AIDS. A number of ex- volunteers are trained and reintegrated. • The EU, World Bank and other bilateral partners implement their rehabilitation and development projects, and the IMF resumes its budget-supported programme, thus allowing for the rehabilitation of main roads and other social infrastructure, including transportation and telecommunications services. The CCA/UNDAF is implemented and preparation begins for the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP). • Access to health and water and sanitation services is improved and there is increased food security due to effective sector policies. A reduction in malnutrition, mortality and morbidity rates occurs and there is a sufficient availability of anti-retroviral drugs.

Worst Case • Deepening crisis following stalled municipal elections in Guinea. Widespread banditry, inter- ethnic clashes, proliferation of small arms, and a surge in recruitment of young people into armed groups. • The one-year grace period for organising the elections in Côte d’Ivoire does not change the status quo and rather results in armed conflict. Exodus of populations into Guinea and neighbouring countries occurs, with skirmishes along the borders.

13 An EU rehabilitation, income generating and conflict prevention programme for conflict-affected areas in Guinea Forestière is still under discussion and is planned to start by mid-2006. The program would last five years and cost EUR 25 million (US$ 30.3 million).

11

GUINEA

• Interruption of organised voluntary repatriation to Liberia and the arrival of new refugees, returnees and third country nationals from Côte d’Ivoire into Guinea Forestière and Haute Guinea. Outflow of Guineans seeking refuge in neighbouring countries or internal displacement. • Delay in the implementation of rehabilitation and development programmes. Further deterioration of the humanitarian situation and increased inflation and unemployment. Shortages of food, medicines and potable water resulting in outbreaks of epidemics and an increased spread of HIV/AIDS.

Most Likely Scenario • Maintenance of the political status quo and implementation of additional political and socio- economic reforms in Guinea. Free and fair municipal elections are held. • Successful elections in Liberia and repatriation of Liberian refugees. Despite mediation, tensions increase in Côte d’Ivoire with widespread skirmishes, especially in Abidjan and the western part of the country. Internal displacement and outflow of refugees, returnees and third country nationals into Guinea and other neighbouring countries. • Delays in the implementation of the EU rehabilitation and development programme. Resumption of the IMF budget-supported programme. Economic recession, inflation, unemployment, increased poverty, vulnerability, dissatisfaction and social tensions continue, as the socio- economic situation will take some time to recover. • Continued lack of access to adequate social services and infrastructure, increased mortality, morbidity and malnutrition rates, and limited funds to carry out rehabilitation programmes.

3.3 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES FOR HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE The strategic priorities for the CAP 2006 clearly relate to those outlined in the 2005 CAP, owing to the fact that this is expected to be the last CAP for Guinea. The current humanitarian context could last for years, if the root causes of sub-regional instability and internal, structural problems are not addressed. With an emphasis on Guinea Forestière, humanitarian response throughout 2006 will endeavour to reinforce coordination, protection and advocacy in Haute and Moyenne Guinea, enhance early warning and emergency preparedness of all concerned partners in the event that the conflict resumes in Côte d’Ivoire or elsewhere within the MRU, facilitate conflict prevention along border areas, and advocate for more sustainable actions towards a transition from relief to early recovery and development initiatives.

Reinforce coordination, protection and advocacy on behalf of the most vulnerable • Continue to improve strategic and sector coordination with all humanitarian partners in Guinea Forestière, Haute Guinea, and Conakry and reinforce the coordination capacity of local counterparts. • Ensure the protection of vulnerable groups against gross human rights violations, including SGBV and other abuses, and advocate for the rights of the most vulnerable in terms of life-saving and life-sustaining assistance. • Strengthen the capacity of Government counterparts in ensuring protection for refugees and refugee status determination. • Promote the organised voluntary repatriation of the remaining 59,000 Liberian refugees, complete the socio-economic integration of the remaining 1,500 Sierra Leoneans, relocate some 3,300 Ivorian refugees from the Nonah transit camp, and facilitate the return and reintegration of about 30,000 IDPs living in Guinea Forestière. • Reduce morbidity, mortality and malnutrition rates among the most vulnerable populations through targeted programmes in food aid and food security, water and sanitation, and health and nutrition, including the prevention of epidemics and protection against HIV/AIDS and malaria. • Enhance food security among host populations and increase school attendance in Haute Guinea and Guinea Forestière through school feeding programmes.

Enhance early warning, emergency preparedness and information sharing • Improve early warning, risk analysis and preparedness of all partners, including national counterparts, to ensure timely and effective response to future emergencies and natural disasters, guided by the respect for humanitarian principles, refugee and international humanitarian law, the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and other applicable international instruments.

12

GUINEA

• Establish a national early warning system for natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes, and locust infestations. • Reinforce the provision of public information to all partners at the national and regional level, through the creation of a standardised joint database, website, mapping system, inter-agency radio programme, monthly and weekly situation analysis, briefings and other updates.

Reduce vulnerability through more sustainable actions and prepare a transition strategy from relief to early recovery • Improve cross-border coordination within the MRU countries and Côte d’Ivoire in order to allow for common action to address cross-border issues such as human trafficking, conflict prevention and peace building, illegal traffic in small arms and light weapons, the demobilisation and reintegration of ex-volunteers and other groups, and the control of the spread of HIV/AIDS and other pandemics. • Prepare an inter-agency transitional Plan of Action for Guinea Forestière for 2006-07 based on the CCA/UNDAF to complement and replace the CAP 2006 and other humanitarian relief assistance. The transitional Plan of Action should address peace building, early recovery, rehabilitation and income-generating needs in the most critical areas of Guinea Forestière, Haute and Moyenne Guinea, and ensure the return, resettlement and reintegration of uprooted populations.

The following key indicators will be used to measure implementation of the CAP 2006:

• Percentage of reduction in malnutrition, morbidity and mortality; • Improved access of target population to food security and basic social services; • Number of refugees repatriated, resettled or locally integrated; • Increased awareness on protection issues, and number of reported cases positively dealt with; • Level of inter-agency preparedness for crises in the region that could have humanitarian implications for Guinea; • Consolidated information management products accessible to all partners and a vulnerability analysis as well as regular analytical reports on the humanitarian situation in Guinea and the sub- region available; • A consolidated transitional Plan of Action for Guinea Forestière is in place.

In pursuance of its goals, the humanitarian community will work collectively to reinforce their presence in Guinea Forestière and establish links between different sectors through sectoral working groups and the National Committee for the Coordination of Humanitarian Action Comité National de Suivi de l'Action Humanitaire (CNSAH). Agencies will undertake additional joint needs assessments and monitoring and evaluation exercises to ensure transparent and accountable use of resources. Humanitarian actors will protect livelihoods of refugees, host populations and other vulnerable communities.

The CAP will be complemented by other major aid initiatives such as: • EU, World Bank and other bilateral donor support for development programmes in the sectors of health care, primary education, rehabilitation, and peace building; • The CCA/UNDAF for 2006-2011; • Assistance in protection, water, health, registration and non-food items by the Red Cross Movement; • Provision of capacity building, technical assistance, and agricultural inputs by NGOs and other partners.

3.4 RESPONSE PLANS 3.4. A Agriculture Sub Sector: Food Security

Context The deterioration in the socio-economic situation of Guinea has affected the population’s food security, particularly in rural areas. Moreover, the reduction in international financial assistance to Guinea and the decrease in export income have limited the Government’s capacity to invest in priority areas like agriculture.

Over the last three years, rice production stagnated at around 800,000 Metric Tonnes, which does not adequately meet community consumption. In 2004, Guinea imported 333,236 MTs of rice, which represented an 18% increase in comparison to 2001. The price of 50 kilos of imported rice reached almost Guinean Francs (GNF) 100,000 over the first semester of 2005, compared to an average of GNF 60,000 in 2004. In addition, the rise in the price of basic commodities due to currency depreciation negatively affected the purchasing power of the population, increasing the vulnerability of those most in need in Haute and Moyenne Guinea.

Households’ limited financial capabilities seriously impede their access to agricultural inputs and equipment, especially due to the lack of agricultural finance institutions. This situation, combined with the inability of most households to hire additional labour, resulted in the development of limited farmland and poor agricultural yields. Along the same vein, the nutritional status of school-age children has floundered at increasingly low levels.

Guinea Forestière region continues to host a number of Liberian, Sierra Leonean, and Ivorian refugees. Concerns centre on the highly damaged areas of host populations, whose production capacities have been reduced. One of the major challenges in combating food insecurity lies in providing support to host populations by building their productive capacities, rehabilitating ground cover, restoring soil fertility, and protecting cultivable land.

Moreover, the 2005 locust infestation poses a risk that should not be under-estimated, as the possible reoccurrence of this phenomenon could severely compromise food security. The infiltrations of the first immature swarms coming from Guinea-Bissau and Senegal into the north-western region of Guinea, announced at the beginning of January 2005, lasted approximately three months, causing damage to natural vegetation, fruit crops, tuber crop plants and vegetable gardens. However, no swarm invasion has been reported on Guinean territory since March, at which time the locusts that escaped sprayed treatment and plant protection moved towards countries on the eastern border. The possible reoccurrence of this phenomenon could be a future factor that compromises food security.

Strategy and Objectives In order to counter shortfalls in agricultural production, FAO intends to build the agricultural production capacity of conflict-affected households through the supply of food and vegetable seeds and farming tools. The provision of these elements will help improve poor agricultural yields and limited self- sufficiency of households. Together with technical guidance, it will also improve production and increase access to arable land. In addition to the supply of agricultural inputs, school vegetable gardens will be developed and properly supported. Promoting school gardens in areas already receiving WFP assistance and considered as vulnerable will strengthen the impact of food aid.

Some of the challenges in the struggle against food insecurity include bolstering the food production capacity of vulnerable groups, rehabilitating the vegetal cover, restoring soil fertility in old campsites and areas damaged by refugee presence, and protecting arable lands. This labour intensive programme will at the same time contribute to environmental protection and lead to the reintroduction of cash crops, income generation, and the improvement of the living conditions of the populations in the immediate surroundings of refugee camps.

Particular emphasis will be placed on assisting host communities who have shared their resources with refugees for over a decade. The target groups include families hosting vulnerable persons, returnees from Côte d’Ivoire, Sierra Leonean and Liberian beneficiaries who have chosen to permanently settle in Guinea, and demobilised youth and schoolchildren in vulnerable areas currently assisted by WFP due to food insecurity risks.

GUINEA

Regarding locust control, the alert system needs to be revitalised and enhanced in cooperation with neighbouring countries in the Sahel. Based on the latest forecasts on locust movements and the occurrence of a plague in Guinea, support needs to be provided for the implementation of a national advanced warning system so as to index the available locust control tools, regularly monitor the locust situation, study their development pattern and provide special training. This structure may also be used to mobilise additional resources, coordinate locust control activities, improve identification of the locust population, protect crops, and mitigate their impact on the environment.

Implementing Partners Initiatives in the agricultural field will include the participation of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Forestry, and the Ministry of the Environment, in partnership with UN agencies and other international organisations. The projects will be implemented by rural development agencies and local and international organisations with appropriate capabilities.

Implementation The principal actions proposed by FAO are as follows: • Supply food crop and vegetable seeds; • Provide farming tools; • Train beneficiaries in farming techniques; • Establish nurseries for forest seedlings; • Reforest over-exploited land; • Provide environmental education; • Provide nutritional education; • Provide training in irrigation techniques and vegetable gardening methods.

Expected Results • Assistance is provided to Liberian refugees who decide to stay in Guinea on a long-term basis, after the promoted voluntary repatriation comes to an end; • 5,000 host families living in camp neighbourhoods and 5,000 demobilised youths are assisted; • 5,000 metric tones of agricultural seeds are distributed; • 50,000 agricultural tools are provided; • 100 hectares of over-exploited land are restored; • 50 schools assisted through the WFP feeding programme are supported with school gardens; • 10,000 students are trained in vegetable gardening and adequate nutrition.

Sub Sector: Food Aid14

Context The positive political development in Liberia and Sierra Leone has allowed for the return of thousands of refugees to their countries of origin and triggered reflections on appropriate strategies for the recovery and rehabilitation of the Guinea Forestière region. In order to define the most appropriate action strategy in this sense, WFP has initiated a series of evaluations in the areas considered as vulnerable in a baseline survey carried out in 2003 and updated in 2005. An analysis of the results shows a worsening of food insecurity in most of the assessed regions of Haute Guinea, Moyenne Guinea and Guinea Forestière.15

Given the general deterioration of the food security situation, support needs to be provided to vulnerable families in other regions of a country that is facing serious structural constraints, which have significantly hampered their access to food. The need for more accurate targeting of beneficiaries in order to provide timely, life-saving assistance to those most in need is essential.

The spread of HIV/AIDS in Guinea and its socio-economic consequences constitute a major concern for the Government and its development partners. In October 2004, WFP - in partnership with the National AIDS Control Committee Comité National de Lutte Contre le Sida (CLNS) and local NGOs - launched a pilot project of food assistance for HIV/AIDS affected people in Conakry. Due to the low level of preparedness of the potential partners at that time, the project could not kick off in N’Zérékoré as initially planned and is due to be implemented by the end of 2005. The same WFP baseline

14 WFP activities for Guinea are incorporated into WFP’s regional operation for West Africa and are thus included in the West Africa Regional CAP. 15 WFP, Report on Food Security in Guinea, August 2005.

15

GUINEA survey16 on food security carried out on households affected by the disease has revealed that 55% of households have poor diets and that money spent on food represents 64% of their income.

Strategy Guinea continues to host more than 55,000 refugees located in six camps.17 Since July 2005, WFP has provided daily food rations of 1835 Kcal/person to Liberians refugees and 2100 Kcal to the Ivorians. The rations vary as the Ivorians live in the Nonah transit camp, where the opportunities for self-help activities are very limited.

In line with the transition from emergency to rehabilitation/development, WFP is in the process of integrating its emergency school feeding activities in Guinée Forestière into the regular Country Programme (CP). To this end, the primary schools in the Kissidougou and Beyla prefectures benefiting from food aid will be included in the CP at the beginning of the 2005-2006 school year. WFP is also providing assistance to 124,547 pupils in Haute and Moyenne Guinea18 and 80,000 in Guinea Forestière.19

The end of food assistance under the emergency programme - Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation - is scheduled for December 2006. WFP intends to place emphasis on the promotion of self-help activities for the Guineans through the launching of a second development programme activity - Community Rural Development - and the kick-off in October 2005 of a pilot project for the socio-professional integration of ex-volunteers (300 beneficiaries), which will be implemented in partnership with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Mano River Women’s Peace Network.

Objectives • Provide food assistance to refugees, host communities and third country nationals; • Reinforce self-sufficiency through activities aimed at increasing agricultural production and incomes; • Monitor the food security situation; • Reinforce the capacities of local NGOs and Government counterparts; • Satisfy the nutritional needs of vulnerable people.

Expected Results • Food rations provided to 59,000 refugees; • Nutritional status of under-five children, pregnant and lactating women is maintained; • A daily hot meal ensured for pupils in the localities covered by school canteens; • Income level of vulnerable households is increased; • Food aid to 900 people affected by HIV/AIDS is provided.

3.4. B Coordination and Support Services Context The continued presence of thousands of refugees in Guinea despite the improving situation in Sierra Leone and Liberia, in addition to the anticipated influx of refugees, returnees and third country nationals which could result from the deteriorating security situation in Côte d’Ivoire, demand inter- agency coordination, information management and emergency preparedness. Needs assessments as well as a vulnerability analysis should be conducted in regions other than Guinea Forestière and Haute Guinea. Inadequate resources need to be mobilised to meet the challenges. Strategy Priorities in 2006 will be to improve early warning, contingency planning and preparedness for emergencies and natural disasters, and information sharing and inter-agency coordination mechanisms. Efforts need to be undertaken to ensure the Government’s involvement in humanitarian issues at the national and prefecture levels. The coordination sector will pursue the three overall strategic objectives of the CHAP for 2006, namely (a) reinforce coordination, protection and advocacy

16 The results of the analysis will help measure the impact of the assistance provided by WFP and the extent to which certain activities will be included in the next WFP country programme (2007-2010); the country programme formulation mission will take place in October 2005. 17 The closure of the Boreah camp is scheduled for late 2005. 18 15% of these pupils are girls receiving supplementary rations to take home. 19 12,000 are girls receiving rations to take home.

16

GUINEA on behalf of the most vulnerable; (b) enhance early warning and emergency preparedness; (c) facilitate the work of the partners in reducing vulnerability through more sustainable initiatives and in the in preparation of a transition strategy from relief to early recovery.

Activities • OCHA will facilitate strategic and sector coordination with UN agencies, donors, NGOs and the Government in Conakry, Guinea Forestière and Haute Guinea. It will work to reinforce the coordination capacity, early warning, risk analysis and preparedness of the National Service on Humanitarian Action Service National d'Action Humanitaire (SENAH) to respond to future emergencies and natural disasters, such as floods and earthquakes, by facilitating the work of sector working groups. A vulnerability analysis of the most critical regions and sectors will also be carried out. • The inter-agency contingency plan will be regularly updated. The Government’s preparedness will also be strengthened in order to enable them to receive and assist new refugees, IDPs, returnees, and third country nationals. • The IMU will continue to promote common data standards with all partners and advocate for the exchange of data and information. The IMU was created within OCHA Guinea with support from ECHO in order to enhance information sharing, strategic planning, monitoring and reporting among all humanitarian partners. • The humanitarian website http://ochaonline.un.org will contain databases of recent assessments, studies, briefings, situation reports, ‘Who Does What Where’ information, agency profiles, maps, chronologies of events, contact lists and meeting schedules. Regarding the provision of humanitarian support services, the coordination sector will continue to facilitate the implementation of WFP’s mandate as the lead agency for all UN humanitarian air operations. • Cross-border coordination within the MRU region and Côte d’Ivoire will be strengthened to address issues of common concern such as information sharing on early warning indicators, peace building activities, DDR, and the control of malaria, HIV/AIDS and other epidemics. • National NGOs and immigration officers will be trained on the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, international humanitarian law and humanitarian principles in general, in cooperation with UNDP, the Red Cross movement, NGOs and donors. In conjunction with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), a workshop on the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement will be held to strengthen the response capacity of local counterparts. • Humanitarian partners will be encouraged to participate in the preparation of an inter-agency transitional Plan of Action for 2006-07, which shall complement the CAP 2006 and phase-out relief assistance.

Indicators • Improvement in the level of preparedness of humanitarian partners to receive, assist, and protect a potential influx of populations fleeing conflict in neighbouring countries. • Completion of a comprehensive vulnerability analysis of the situation, based on consolidated and standardised data and information, and an analysis of gaps and the impact of assistance provided within and outside of the CAP. • Number of regular analytical situation reports and briefings as well as relevant and standardised information products (joint database, website, mapping system) distributed and/or shared with all humanitarian and development partners in Guinea and the sub-region. • Number of effective coordination structures, including sector working groups, which can be re- activated any time in case of a declared emergency or natural disaster, and also improved national capacity within and outside the Government to assess, monitor, assist and report on critical humanitarian needs. • Completion of an inter-agency transitional Plan of Action to phase out humanitarian assistance.

Monitoring The successful implementation of the agreed strategic objectives will be monitored through the Mid- Year Review of the CAP, monthly situation reports, and regular coordination meetings of the CNSAH and the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Country Team, including donors. The IMU unit will map out the locations where basic social services exist and indicate the zones where vulnerable populations and humanitarian aid agencies are concentrated. Established databases, such as the ‘Who Does What Where’, will also contribute to the monitoring and evaluation of programmes.

3.4. C Education Context Guinea is confronted with a difficult economic situation, further compounded by the presence of Sierra Leonean, Liberian and Ivorian refugees. This economic situation, which is characterised by inflation and dramatic price increases, coupled with poor access to basic social services, particularly in the Guinea Forestière region, threatens the living conditions of a population already living in abject poverty. Weak household revenue has had negative consequences on the access to quality education. Many parents can no longer afford to send all their children to school.

The long period of instability along the southern and south-eastern borders of the country and the rebel incursions in September 2000 contributed to the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the country, particularly in the prefectures of Forecariah, Kindia, Kissidougou, Gueckedou, and the N’zerekore region. The situation is slowly improving due to the return of Sierra Leonean and Liberian refugees to their countries of origin and to the collective efforts of the international community to restore security in the country. However, the planned objective of facilitating the voluntary repatriation of 55,000 Liberian refugees in 2005 was not fully achieved due to refugee hesitations linked to the scheduled October elections in Liberia and the poor road conditions inside Liberia during the rainy season. At the same time, secondary education for Liberian refugees was not ensured for the 2005- 2006 school year.

The state does not have the capacity to offer children quality education without assistance from the International Development Association (IDA), the European Union, and the French Development Agency. In this context, the CAP 2006 calls for international assistance to provide favourable conditions for access to and the continuation of education for refugee and IDP children as well as those from the local community.

Strategy • Provide formal and non-formal primary education for at least 11,000 children (refugees, IDPs and host communities) and prepare for the integration for at least 8,000 of them. • Improve the educational system and extend school canteen facilities to hundreds of pupils in the Guinea Forestière region. • Improve the quality of teaching and learning by distributing teaching materials and equipment to teachers as well as to pupils from refugee, IDP and host communities and by strengthening the capacity of teachers. • Conduct civic education programmes in school and in the community and provide psychosocial support for children in difficult circumstances. • Strengthen parent associations (Community Teacher Association (CTA) and APEAE (Association des Parents d’Elèves et des Amis de l’Ecole) and encourage their involvement in school management in affected areas.

Expected Results • Liberian refugee children whose parents decide to remain in Guinea on a long term basis will continue their education by being integrated into the Guinean school system. • Schools in affected areas are rehabilitated and provided with taps, toilets, latrines, and canteens. • The quality of teaching/learning in schools in affected areas improves. • Children’s rights are reinforced in civic education programmes; children and communities know and apply these rights and support is provided to children in difficult circumstances. • The capacity of parents associations will be enhanced and they will have greater involvement in school management.

Indicators • Number of refugee and displaced pupils with access to quality formal and non-formal education. • Number of schools constructed or rehabilitated. • Number of schools with separate water points and latrines for girls and boys. • Number of children that successfully pass the school year. • Percentage of schools and communities targeted for training on children’s rights issues. • Number of parents associations assisted and involved in school management.

GUINEA

3.4. D Health Context The presence of refugees in Guinea Forestière has had a significant impact on humanitarian sectoral response, notably with regard to infrastructure and the provision of health. Access to health services remains a concern due to the limited capacity of health centres, posts and other facilities in most towns. Patients often walk long distances to reach the nearest health centre. The lack of ambulance services often prevents local health posts from transporting patients in time to better-equipped facilities.

The epidemiological situation in refugee camps during the first semester of 2005 remains stable, both in terms of morbidity and mortality rates. The mortality rate for children under five is below acceptable thresholds. Health posts in refugee camps have had increased attendance rates as people from the host community come to receive care through these posts (i.e. neighbouring villagers constitute 30% of consultations). This demonstrates the malfunctioning of Guinean health clinics, which are suffering from a lack of medicine and other medical supplies.

Guinea has faced a cholera epidemic and reported two suspected cases of yellow fever in Mamou and N’Zerekore. Investigative teams determined that the yellow fever case in Mamou was an isolated incident, while doctors believed that the second case was a reaction to a yellow fever vaccination. The cholera outbreak from earlier in the year in Moyenne Guinea and Guinea Maritime is now under control.

Strategy • Improve access to health, nutrition and reproductive health services by ensuring the availability of stocks of medicines, material, testing equipment, Antiretrovirus (ARV) and other medicine and equipment, and through capacity building of personnel. • Strengthen prevention programmes, including vaccination and change of behaviour patterns, and increase access to medicines necessary for the treatment of epidemics and widespread diseases such as HIV/AIDS and malaria.

Objectives • Reduce mortality and morbidity rate among refugees, returnees and host communities in Guinea Forestière. • Support prevention and control programmes of epidemic diseases and promote good health practices.

Expected results • Improved availability of medicines, birth-control supplies, laboratory and other equipment. • Vaccination campaigns for disease prevention, including for polio, are conducted. • 100% of health infrastructures in refugee camps and 50% of health structures catering to host community are capable of responding to the needs of the communities. • Personnel of public health facilities are able to respond to emergencies. • Communities are better informed about and can protect themselves against HIV/AIDS and other infections.

Indicators • Decrease in mortality and morbidity rates in refugee camps and in host communities. • Number of vaccination campaigns and percentage of coverage. • Number of functioning health infrastructures in refugee camps, number of consultations and increased admission rates of health facilities in host communities. • Number of health personnel trained to respond to emergency situations. • Number of initiatives undertaken in partnership with communities to prevent, detect and control health risks related to HIV/AIDS, malaria and other epidemics.

Monitoring Agencies or organisations, which received funds for health and nutrition projects, will be responsible for the implementation of these projects. Reports will be submitted to the sectoral group and to donors on a trimester basis. The Ministry of Health and WHO, who have the overall leadership of this sector, will submit these reports to the general coordination mechanism.

GUINEA

3.4. E Protection/Human Rights/Rule of Law Context The Government as well as the international community have provided limited resources to enhance the assistance and protection of vulnerable populations other than refugees. Without a proper framework for tackling the issues of IDPs in Guinea Forestière, assisting them remains a major issue for the donor community. There has also been no significant improvement in the living conditions of up to 100,000 Guinean returnees, who continue to have little or no access to basic social services. In addition, porous borders continued to facilitate the illicit traffic in weapons, armed banditry, and human rights violations in the border areas of Guinea Forestière, placing many communities in this region at risk of violence, abuse and exploitation.

Cross-border movements have had dire consequences on women and children, particularly in Guinea Forestière, which has the third highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rate in the country after Conakry and Fria. Women and girls continue to bear the burden of SGBV and protection mechanisms need to be enhanced to curtail violence against these groups. The needs of orphans and other children affected and infected by HIV/AIDS should also be taken into account, as they are particularly vulnerable to abuse, exploitation and trafficking. In relation to the population movement in the region,

Conflict and instability in Liberia and Ivory Coast have affected development in the N’Zérékoré region and increased child protection issues in the area. Substantial efforts in specialised protection services should continue and be reinforced in order to support conflict-affected children and women to return to normal life. Unaccompanied minors, separated children, former child soldiers, orphans and other vulnerable children need special attention. Child protection needs to be further reinforced to facilitate access to basic needs like health and education, but also to prevent new cases of abuse and exploitation.

Strategy and Objectives Taking into account the deterioration of human rights and living conditions of the population, the strategy of the protection sector will have the following objectives: • Accelerate family tracing, reunification or creation of durable solutions for separated or unaccompanied children; • Support demobilisation and socio-economic reintegration of young volunteers and children affected by armed conflict; • Prevent all forms of physical or psychological violence, reinforce early action and provide support services to women and children victims of SGBV; • Provide access to basic services and psychosocial support to HIV/AIDS orphans and other children affected or infected with HIV/AIDS; • Support the prevention of all forms of economic exploitation or trafficking, reinforce early identification/action and provide support services to women, children, and victims of SGBV.

This strategy will target refugees as well as conflict affected local populations, particularly in Guinea Forestière. Focusing on conflict-affected children, women and youths, this programme will aim to prevent their marginalisation and encourage their active participation in community development.

Humanitarian agencies have established proactive systems to identify and document cases of separated or unaccompanied children, reunify them with their respective families (including host families), and ensure long-term family and social integration. More than 50% of the known cases have been resolved. In cases where tracing was unsuccessful, cross-border cooperation between social workers should help reunify families. If a family cannot be traced, durable solutions will be sought.

Initiatives will also focus on young volunteers and children associated with armed forces as only a small number of them have received support so far. These young volunteers are at risk of delinquency or drug abuse and need to be reintegrated into the community and to receive psychosocial support. Projects will also target other children at risk of recruitment.

Specific projects have been implemented to counter violence against children and women, facilitate early detection of cases, identification of persons at risk, and the provision of support for confirmed cases of violence. Health, psychological and legal aid have also been provided. Services, however, have been offered mainly to refugees, with limited assistance to the local population. Victims of sexual abuses have also waited for months to receive support and they often face stigmatisation by their

20

GUINEA community. Multidisciplinary and mobile team will be set-up to address their needs and to provide psychosocial support and facilitate community reintegration.

The situation of orphans and other vulnerable children in Guinea is also increasingly worrisome. Extended families have absorbed many orphaned children but the coping mechanism of families has been stretched by the difficult economic situation. A recent survey conducted by UNICEF in Guinea showed that more than 85% of orphans have to work in order to participate in the economic survival of the family; a fragile economic balance can be jeopardised at any time by the sickness of one family member. Effective pilot projects providing psychosocial support, access to education and health have demonstrated their effectiveness in protecting these children.

With weakening of the traditional safety net (family and community network) by the impact of the crisis, Guinea has allegedly been a central platform for trafficking in children. There is an urgent need to reinforce early identification and referral mechanisms by reinforcing the National Committee on Child Protection, holding regular cross border consultations, undertaking joint border patrols, bringing perpetrators to justice and providing strong legal assistance to victims.

Participating organisations Specialised NGOs as well as by the Ministries of Social Affairs, Youth, Security and Justice and their regional services will implement various projects. Communities will be closely involved at all stages of implementation.

Training and follow-up mechanisms To ensure the success of these actions, protection training will be revitalised. At the regional level, support will be provided to the office of the SENAH to put in place a protection coordinating committee that will meet on a monthly basis. The presence of an international UNICEF protection officer will enhance the work of this committee. The national protection committee in charge of monitoring the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child will take the lead in the implementation of the projects.

3.4. F Muti-sectorial/Refugee Protection Context Since October 2004, UNCHR has facilitated the voluntary repatriation of Liberian refugees. UNHCR will continue to provide international protection and assistance to Liberian, Ivorian and other refugees living in the country in 2006. It will target about 59,000 Liberian refugees living in the camps of Kissidougou and N’Zérékoré, about 3,300 Ivorian refugees living in the Nonah camp, a residual caseload of Sierra Leonean refugees living in Kissidougou, and more than 7,000 urban refugees of various nationalities living in Conakry. All the refugees living in and out of camps will continue to benefit from basic assistance and international protection.

UNHCR will further strengthen the capacities of local authorities in the area of international protection and programme management through training. This will enable them take over operations after UNHCR’s planned phase-out from the country in 2007.

Strategy • Ensure respect for the convention on refugees and other procedures regarding international protection of all refugees living in Guinea. • Identify and implement appropriate sustainable solutions for refugees. • Assist the Government in maintaining the civilian and humanitarian character of refugee camps. • Strengthen prevention and action mechanisms in cases of SGBV and other forms of exploitation and mistreatment of women and child refugees. • Strengthen the strategy of combating HIV/AIDS and providing assistance to those living with the disease. • Prepare for the implementation of UNHCR’s exit strategy from Guinea by advocating self-reliance for refugees and developing a local integration programme for the residual caseload. • Strengthen the capacity of the Government in ensuring protection for refugees and refugee status determination.

21

GUINEA

Strategic Objectives • Provide protection and multi-sectoral assistance to Liberian and Ivorian refugees living in camps. Urban refugees will also be provided protection and medical assistance will be provided to the most vulnerable in this group. To promote self-reliance in order to facilitate durable integration, some will also benefit from income-generating activities. • Continue prevention efforts against SGBV by strengthen community organisations. • Promote the voluntary repatriation of 59,000 Liberian refugees; consolidate the camps and facilitate the voluntary repatriation of some of the Ivorian refugees depending on the evolution of the situation in Côte d’Ivoire and ensuring that this repatriation respects international norms in terms of registration, information exchange, protection of minors and other criteria in order to minimise duplication. • Implement, starting in mid-2006, a local integration programme for the residual caseload of Liberian refugees who decide to remain in Guinea on a long-term basis. • Promote sustainable solutions for non-accompanied minors.

Expected results • Protection and multi-sectoral assistance will be provided to Liberian and Ivorian refugees living in refugee camps. Urban refugees living Conakry will also receive protection, while medical care and financial assistance will be provided to the most needy. • Refugees will be protected from SGBV, exploitation and mistreatment. Cases of SGBV would be thoroughly followed-up, including assistance to victims. Court cases will be brought against those suspected of having committed such violations. • The repatriation programme of Liberian refugees will be successfully completed and the facilitation of the voluntary repatriation of Ivorian refugees will be undertaken, if the political situation in the country of origin permits it. • The remaining caseload of Sierra Leonean refugees will be well integrated, and the remaining caseload of Liberian refugees will be settled in areas designated by the Government. • Family reunification and other sustainable solutions will be established for unaccompanied minors.

3.4. G Safety and Security of Staff and Operations Context The security situation remained stable in 2005, with no significant incidents involving UN personnel or partners. The socio-economic and political situations have significantly worsened and this has negatively impacted the security environment. The main security threat in Guinea remains armed banditry in Conakry and key regional towns. To address the increase in criminal activity and armed banditry, armed night patrols have been introduced with limited success in Conakry and the prefectures. The Government has demonstrated its capacity to provide basic security for international personnel in and outside Conakry, including along the volatile borders where many aid agencies continue to operate with the support of Area Security Coordinators and Field Security Assistants.

In 2004, DSS revised the security phases in Guinea. The Guinea Forestière region (Macenta and Gueckedou) was decreased from Phase IV to Phase III, while Conakry and the rest of the country continue to be in Phase I. Regular field visits have been undertaken to evaluate changes in the security situation and to advise the aid community accordingly. Training was provided to all UN staff and other interested personnel in Conakry and Guinea Forestière in 2004 and 2005. In addition, regular radio checks were conducted, in cooperation with the radio operators of other UN agencies. Reports and briefings have been shared with all partners.

UNDSS recruited a Deputy Field Security Coordination Officer to strengthen the coordination of security of staff in the capital, while Field Security Assistants continue to operate in Guinea Forestière. In addition, some UN agencies have a Security Officer attached to their operations. This has allowed UN agencies to meet the required Minimum Operating Security Standards (MOSS).

Objectives In order to improve the safety and security of humanitarian staff and operations, the UNDSS intends to reinforce its operational capacity on the ground to provide more safety through the improvement of the telecommunications network and equipment. For reasons of emergency preparedness and taking into account the difficulties in establishing communications by telephone, the capacity of the radio room

22

GUINEA will be enhanced through the recruitment and training of a specialist on telecommunications. English courses will also be conducted for all radio operators.

Indicators • Number of UN staff trained on security awareness and equipped with functioning VHF radios. • Improved radio communications and emergency preparedness. • Improved security coordination with other partners.

3.4. H Water and Sanitation Context The rate of access to drinking water increased considerably from half of the population in 1999 to two- thirds in 2005. However, there are noticeable disparities between rural and urban areas and between regions. Of all the regions, Guinea Forestière has the most acute problems, particularly in the towns and villages hosting either IDPs from the September 2000 rebel attacks, or returnees from neighbouring countries and the surrounding areas of refugee camps. The population density increased to the point that inhabitants of the Yomou prefecture barely have 7 litres of water per person per day, while those of Lola, N’Zérékoré and Beyla have about 5 litres per person per day. According to a UNICEF-funded survey20 in 2002, the population density doubled in certain areas since the rebel attacks and the use of polluted sources (traditional wells and puddles) increased considerably. The consequences of the limited access to water are exacerbated by the poor handling of faeces and other bad sanitary habits.

Several agencies, including UNICEF, national and international NGOs, have implemented projects to combat water-borne diseases, reduce risks associated with lack of sanitation, and improve access to drinking water and purification services. These initiatives have helped prevent major epidemics and increase mortality rates. However, given the poverty of the affected populations and the limited resources provided by the Government and humanitarian agencies to rehabilitate destroyed facilities, new water points and latrines need to be constructed to increase access to potable water, existing water sources must be treated to reduce the risk of epidemics such as cholera and diarrhoea, and infrastructure destroyed during the rebel attacks must be rehabilitated. The most affected areas, particularly the prefectures of Guinea Forestière, Guéckédou and Macenta, have an average population of 600,000 people, more than half of which are vulnerable.

Strategy • Ensuring the availability of drinking water in 150 villages of 250 inhabitants through the construction of 100 new wells. Extension of the water supply system in Nzérékoré, Lola and Yomou, the construction of 50 fountain terminals and the connection with the sheltering network of 200 families hosting IDPs or returnees. • Ensuring the availability of latrines for 5,000 families and 50 hygienic facilities containing 200 public latrines, particularly separate girls’ and boys’ latrines in schools, pre-schools, Community Supervision Centres, and health posts and centres. • Combating vectors, in particular mosquitoes, through the creation of village hygiene and sanitation teams capable of eliminating mosquito nests and impregnating and/or distributing mosquito nets. • Promoting hygiene education in the prefectures and monitoring water quality.

Access to drinking water will be provided to the most affected villages through the construction of new water points and the rehabilitation of existing ones. Community representatives will be trained and equipped to maintain them. In urban areas where there is a standard water supply network, implementing agencies will install purification facilities in all public buildings including schools, child centres, health centres and posts, and markets. Low-cost and easy to maintain SanPlat type family latrines as well as 60 cm SanPlat slab latrines will be built in order to reduce health risks in public facilities.

20 The survey focused on the consequences of armed conflict on the life of women and children in Guinea Forestière.

23

GUINEA

The strategy also foresees the analysis and chemical treatment of drinking water points, especially during periods of high risk of epidemics. For this purpose, NGOs and the National Service for Improved Wells21 (SNAPE) will be provided with calcium hypochlorite to ensure the chlorination of all wells in target zones. Finally, gourds, jerry cans, and hygiene kits will be distributed. These activities will be complemented by mass awareness campaigns through rural radio programmes and traditional authorities to promote hand washing with soap and hygiene in broad terms. Women’s groups will be also formed and equipped to impregnate and distribute insecticide-treated mosquito nets for children under five years of age and to pregnant women from host, IDP and returnee communities. In parallel, sanitation teams, equipped and trained by regional hygiene departments will carry out campaigns of fumigation and elimination of mosquito larvae. Rural radio programs and local/traditional animation groups will supplement these activities by conducting public awareness campaigns to promote individual, collective and environmental hygiene.

Expected Results • Quantity and quality of drinking water for refugee, displaced and returnee communities will improve. • Availability of hygienic toilets to the majority of vulnerable families and in public places will increase. • Availability of drinking water in schools, pre-school and health centres will increase. • Insecticide-impregnated bed nets will be available and utilised by at least 60% of vulnerable pregnant women and children. • Basic hygiene rules will be understood and followed in local communities.

Implementing Agencies The initiatives to provide access to drinking water and sanitation facilities will be implemented by SNAPE, specialist NGOs, the Ministry of Health, and the private sector. The Ministry of Communication will use rural radio broadcasts to raise community awareness, while the Ministry of Pre-University Education will provide environmental education in schools. The training of community impregnation teams will be ensured by NGOs and local communities under the joint supervision of the Ministry of Social Affaires, Ministry for Territorial Administration and Decentralisation, and the Ministry of Health.

Monitoring A steering committee made up of representatives of all the interested Government departments will supervise planning, execution, follow-up and evaluation of the projects. Control will be undertaken at all levels: community (local communities, water and sanitation committees); prefecture (prefectoral cell of coordination through follow-up missions and bi-annual/annual reviews); administrative areas (regional direction of the SNAPE); and Conakry (steering committee, monitoring missions, annual review). Follow-up analysis of water quality will facilitate the evaluation of accomplished progress. The supervision of the project will be undertaken by the administrators of the community development and water and sanitation projects.

4. STRATEGIC MONTORING PLAN

• The IASC country team will continue to meet on a monthly basis. Humanitarian partners will constantly monitor the evolution of the humanitarian situation, identify gaps in assistance, duplication, and constraints in the achievement of agreed priorities, and make necessary recommendations for action. • Sector working groups will regularly review or revise the strategic objectives in their respective domains. • Regular joint needs assessments will help monitor the impact of assistance provided and progress made in achieving the goals set in this CAP. Nutrition surveys will help show if there is a reduction in the rates of malnutrition. • The Mid-Year Review of the CAP will analyse changes in the humanitarian context, scenarios and objectives, and measure the impact of assistance provided.

5. CRITERIA FOR PRIORITISATION OF PROJECTS

In order to ensure greater prioritisation and complementarity of action, participants at the CAP 2006 preparation workshop agreed that all projects should undergo a technical and senior level review. To that end, Sectoral Working Groups (SWG) reviewed all projects against agreed criteria and sector objectives, and checked them against the goals and objectives set out in the CHAP. The projects included in this Appeal are in line with most of the following agreed criteria:

• Specific strategic objectives, sector objectives and response plans; • Need to stabilise and improve food security and the nutritional situation; • Support the safety, international protection, return and reintegration of refugees, host communities and other vulnerable groups; • Planned implementation in priority areas (Guinea Forestière and Haute Guinea). • Contribute to reinforced coping mechanisms of vulnerable populations; • Strengthen the capacity of local counterparts; • Do not duplicate other planned or ongoing actions in the same region or area; • Take into account the special gender needs of men and women, boys and girls; • Include a focus on HIV/AIDS.

The selection process also took into account the operational capacity and comparative advantage of the appealing organisations, accessibility of the targeted areas, practical budgets, and the likelihood of a measurable impact within one year.

Preliminary results of EDS 2005: After the finalisation of this CAP, the Ministry of Planning published the preliminary report of the third survey on demography and health (EDS-III) in Guinea, which was carried out in partnership with MEASURE Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). The principal results indicate that: 9% of the children under five years of age suffer from acute malnutrition, of which 2% are severely malnourished. Children of three years of age (35%) show a delay of growth (stunting), resulting from chronic malnutrition. Only 37% of 12-23 month old children were completely vaccinated, while 14% did not receive any vaccine. Infant mortality rate is 91% and youth mortality is 163%. HIV/AIDS prevalence among people between 15 - 49 years is 1.5%. 1.9% of women are infected, compared to 0.9% of men. Conakry has the highest HIV prevalence of 2.1%, followed by Zérékoré at 1.7%. It is the first time that Guinea measured HIV/AIDS prevalence among the population.
