UNICEF is also grateful to FSAU for participating in the planning, implementation and data analysis of this study. Special thanks is due to the mothers and caregivers that took time off their busy schedules to respond to the questionnaires and allowing their children to undergo anthropometric measurements. Last but not least the enumerators and supervisors who participated in the gathering of data are acknowledged. June 08, 2002 3 1 Executive Summary UNICEF, in collaboration with FSAU and the Sanaag Regional Health Office of MOHL conducted a nutrition survey in Sanaag region in May 2002. The main objective of the survey was to determine the nutritional status of children aged 6 – 59 months in Sanaag region. Moreover, the study aimed at understanding the factors influencing the nutritional status of children in these areas. Using the two-stage random cluster sampling methodology, a total of 900 children between ages 6-59 months were examined. Nutritional status assessments were based on weight and height measurements. Information relating to diarrhoea and ARI incidence two weeks prior to the survey, vitamin A supplementation and measles vaccination status of the children were also collected. 1.1 Nutrition Data analysed in EPI Info for nutritional status suggests a global acute malnutrition rate of 13.7 per cent (using <-2 z score and/or oedema) and a severe malnutrition rate of 5.0 per cent (<-3 z score and/or oedema) while oedema alone was 3.3 per cent. 1.2 Immunization Information collected on immunization during the survey indicates that only about 19 per cent of the children had been immunized against measles, out of which only about 4 per cent had been vaccinated within the six months prior to the survey. An overwhelming 81 per cent had not been immunized at all against measles. Vitamin A supplementation during the past six months stood at just under 46 per cent. 1.3 Child diseases About 18 per cent of the children had diarrhoea while close to 38 per cent suffered from acute respiratory infections during the two weeks prior to the survey. When asked if they seek assistance when a child is sick, the majority of households (more than 92 per cent) replied in the affirmative. While the majority of these (44.5 per cent) reported that they seek assistance from private clinics/pharmacies, an equally significant number (38.2) reported use of traditional healer when a child falls ill. 1.4 Household characteristics It appears that 26 per cent of the households interviewed are female headed. Just over 66 per cent reported purchases as their main source of food, while sales of animals and animal products was the main cited source of income with about 37 per cent of households. 1.5 Water and environmental sanitation The main source of drinking water for the surveyed households was open wells (about 42 per cent). About 37 per cent of interviewed households reported the pit latrine as their sanitation facility, whereas slightly more than 62 per cent were reported as not having one. 4 2 Summary of findings Indicator Percentage Number of boys in the sample 52.6 Number of girls in the sample 47.4 Global acute malnutrition according to Weight For Height Index in Z-Score or presence of oedema 13.7 Severe acute malnutrition according to Weight For Height Index in Z-Score or presence of oedema 5.0 Severe malnutrition according to oedema only 3.3 Proportion of children with diarrhoea in two weeks prior to the survey 18.2 Proportion of children with ARI in two weeks prior to the survey 37.7 Proportion of children supplemented with Vitamin A in six months prior to the survey 45.6 Proportion of children immunised against Measles 19.2 Proportion of female-headed households 26.0 Proportion of households with open wells as the main source of drinking water 44.2 Proportion of households with pit latrines as sanitation facility 37.1 Proportion of households seeking assistance when child is sick 92.5 Proportion of households seeking assistance from private clinic/pharmacay 44.5 Proportion of households seeking assistance from traditional healer 38.2 5 3 Background information Sanaag region shares borders with Puntland (Northeast Somalia) on the east and the Red Berbera Ceerigaabo AWDAL Sea on the north. The region’s Borama SANAG Burao GALBEED population is approximately Gar Adag Hargeisa 210,000 persons. Of this TOGDHEERCaynabo population, approximately 16 SOOL percent are rural-sedentary and 58 percent rural-nomadic. Most The boundaries and names on these maps do not imply official endorsement or acceptance by people in the region engage in the United Nations animal husbandry, with only a limited number involved in small-scale subsistence farming, fishery, frankincense production and urban-based commercial activities. The region has a land mass that makes up about 35 percent of total land area of Somaliland, making it the broadest region. Geographically, Sanaag has four zones: the coastal area, the mountain range, the gypsumlkarst deposit plateau and the Sool Haud plateau. The latter is rich in pasture and has better quality of water. Except for the elevated area of Erigavo district, where rainfall records indicate an annual average of up to 500 mm, most areas in Sanaag have rains that generally do not exceeded 150 mm. Recently, the region has received a large number of displaced people fleeing from the instability in Puntland. The majority of the displaced settled in Dhahar and Badhan districts, while a significant number also settled inside Erigavo town. 3.1 Health context Sanaag region has got one regional hospital, five mother/child health centers and 25 health posts. In collaboration with MOHL, UNICEF supports with the provision of drugs/medical supplies and staff training to all health facilities in the region. IFRC/SRCS supports and manages the Kulmiye mother/child health center inside Erigavo town. Also, IFRCS/SRCS trains first aid volunteers who can assist in emergencies and the implementation of mass immunization campaigns. The regional hospital,

  • CLAIMING the EASTERN BORDERLANDS After the 1997
    CHAPTER SEVEN CLAIMING THE EASTERN BORDERLANDS After the 1997 Hargeysa Conference, the Somaliland state apparatus consolidated. It deepened, as the state realm displaced governance arrangements overseen by clan elders. And it broadened, as central government control extended geographically from the capital into urban centres such as Borama in the west and Bur’o in the east. In the areas east of Bur’o government was far less present or efffective, especially where non-Isaaq clans traditionally lived. Erigavo, the capital of Sanaag Region, which was shared by the Habar Yunis, the Habar Ja’lo, the Warsengeli and the Dhulbahante, was fijinally brought under formal government control in 1997, after Egal sent a delegation of nine govern- ment ministers originating from the area to sort out local government with the elders and political actors on the ground. After fijive months of negotiations, the president was able to appoint a Mayor for Erigavo and a Governor for Sanaag.1 But east of Erigavo, in the area inhabited by the Warsengeli, any claim to governance from Hargeysa was just nominal.2 The same was true for most of Sool Region inhabited by the Dhulbahante. Eastern Sanaag and Sool had not been Egal’s priority. The president did not strictly need these regions to be under his military control in order to preserve and consolidate his position politically or in terms of resources. The port of Berbera was vital for the economic survival of the Somaliland government. Erigavo and Las Anod were not. However, because the Somaliland government claimed the borders of the former British protec- torate as the borders of Somaliland, Sanaag and Sool had to be seen as under government control.

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

  • Somaliland – a Walk on Thin Ice 1
    7|2011 KAS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS 79 SOMALILAND – A WALK ON THIN ICE 1 Harriet Gorka “Northerners can in no way claim that the 1960 merger with the South was a shotgun wedding – by all accounts unification was wildly popular. Northerners could argue, however, that they asked for an annulment of the union prior to the honeymoon and that their request was unjustly denied.”2 This statement by a legal scholar reflects the prevailing balancing act of the conflict in Somaliland, which some might say started with the voluntary unification of Harriet Gorka worked Somaliland and the Italian Trust Territory of Somalia. Yet from February to April 2011 at the Konrad- the conflict goes deeper and is more far reaching than Adenauer-Stiftung in “just” the desire to secede from the Somali state. It is Windhoek, Namibia. an ongoing debate whether the right to self-determination should prevail over the notions of territorial integrity and sovereignty. May 2011 marked the 20-year anniversary of Somaliland’s proclamation of independence. However, its status has not officially been recognised by any state, even though it has a working constitutional government, an army, a national flag and its own currency, which should make Somaliland a stand out example for other entities seeking independence. The territory also sets itself apart from the rest of Somalia because it is stable and peaceful, which has been achieved by integrating clan culture into its government. The accom- plishments of the past two decades are impressive, despite 1 | The opinion expressed by the author is not in all points similar to the opinion of the editors.
