Crisis and Emergency acute food insecurity persists in many parts of the country and severe AWD/Cholera outbreak is ongoing. Humanitarian assistance has 739,000 helped reduce gaps for household food consumption and contributed to people displaced due to drought lower staple food prices, but an elevated risk of famine remains. This is due *All financial figures in US dollars 1 to vulnerabilities caused by a combination of food consumption gaps, high acute malnutrition, high disease burden and reliance on humanitarian assistance (FSNAU Food Security Alert, June 2017). • Acute malnutrition: Access and availability of food is slightly improving due to increased humanitarian aid, but the scope of need is still high as the mortality rate and levels of acute malnutrition remain critical, with Crude Death Rates (CDR), Under 5 Death Rate (U5DR) and GAM rates being at: 2.43/10,000/day, 4.65/10,000/day and between 15-30% GAM respectively. This is particularly true among the rural pastoralist population of Sool, Sanaag, Bari, Nugaal and the agro pastoralist population of Bay regions of South West State as well as IDPs in Baidoa and Mogadishu. • Conflict insecurity: Protracted insecurity continues to impact on food security and access to the most affected populations in rural and urban parts of the country. Mogadishu and other major towns remain the epicentre of frequent and active attacks by insurgents. However, the risk is spreading towards other areas considered low level conflict areas including Qandala town in Bari, Bossaso and Galkayo towns in Puntland. Although access and security challenges exist, humanitarian assistance continue to reach more people.

    SOMALIA GENERAL . UN-Habitat is active in all the Somali regions with a current portfolio of approximately USD 40 million. UN-Habitat Somalia Program which is delivered in post-conflict Somalia, clearly fits into the UN-Habitat Risk Reduction and Rehabilitation sub-program. However, program activities can be nicely placed in almost any of UN-Habitat’s sub-programs. There is a renewed focus on Mogadishu with presently two projects running. Politically advocated but not yet practical re-location to Mogadishu will be linked to new programme recruitments. Presently, UN-Habitat has a small presence in Mogadishu through national staff and international consultants and constant missions by international staff. Existing and well established field offices are in Garowe, Bossaso (Puntland), and Hargeisa (Somaliland). Excellent cooperation exists with all Somali Administrations at central and local levels. UN-Habitat is an active member of the UN Country Team and works in support of the New Deal and the Somalia Governments Six-point Programme.

  • Food Security Nutrition
    FSNAU Food Security Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit - Somalia & Nutrition Issued June 30, 2016 Quarterly Brief - Focus on Post Gu 2016 Season Early Warning KEY ISSUES Based on ongoing monitoring activities and the findings of the FSNAU’s rapid field assessment (June 2016) and climate forecasts for 2016 Hagaa (June - July) and Deyr (October - December), the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) projects deterioration of food security conditions in parts of Central and Southern agricultural livelihoods of Somalia in the post-Gu period (July-December 2016). The foreseen deterioration is attributed to below average Gu harvest outlook as a result of unfavourable Gu rainy season, while Hagaa (June - July) seasonal rains are also expected to be below normal. In addition, next Deyr rainy season (October-December) is likely to be below average in most parts of the Climate country due to likely La Nina event. Markets • Flood-affected areas of Hiran and Middle Shabelle are likely to be most affected, particularly during the Hagaa dry season. Similarly, livestock-dependent coastal areas (Coastal Deeh Pastoral and Cowpea Belt) of Central, where poor households mostly own small ruminants, are also likely to see deterioration Nutrition in their food security situation due to the impact of poor Gu rains and anticipated unfavourable Deyr rainy season this year. Agriculture • On the other hand, recent Gu rains have helped to recover pasture, water and livestock conditions in pastoral areas in the Northwest, including the drought-affected areas of Guban and Northern Inland Livestock Pastoral (NIP) livelihoods. The agropastoral areas of Northwest, which were affected by drought over the past two years, are likely to see some improvements due to projected above average Gu-Karan rains (July-September) with a positive impact on major harvest in November.

  • Nutrition Update’
    NUTRITION UPDATE N U FOR Food Security Assessment Food and Agriculture Unit for Somalia SOMALIA Organisation [email protected] April 2001 NUTRITION ISSUES IN SOMALIA While the effects of the ‘livestock ban’ are undoubtedly having a negative effect on the economy of Somaliland and Puntland, there has been no evidence so far of deterioration in the nutritional status of the population. So far little qualitative information is available from the populations most likely to be affected i.e. the poor in urban areas, the displaced and the poor/very poor pastoralists. There is however, some reluctance among parties involved with these groups to undertake nutrition surveys although some are now considering the idea. Because organisations often undertake nutrition surveys only when malnutrition is already evident, surveys in Somalia are strongly associated with subsequent food aid; indeed the interest in undertaking nutrition surveys has diminished considerably since the food security situation in south and central Somalia has improved over the past six months or so. As a result of this, we have inadequate information on what ‘normal’ levels of malnutrition are in the various populations and will continue to have difficulty in interpreting malnutrition rates produced in times of crisis. FSAU nutritionists and food security specialists are willing to provide technical support to any organisation or government authority wishing to undertake a nutrition survey, as in the recent survey in Jamame.

  • Somalia Seasonal Monitor, June 15, 2015
    SOMALIA Seasonal Monitor June 15, 2015 FEWS NET will publish a Seasonal Monitor for Somalia every 10 days (dekad) through the end of the current April to June Gu rainy season. The purpose of this document is to provide updated information on the progress of the Gu season to facilitate contingency and response planning. This Somalia Seasonal Monitor is valid through June 20, 2015 and is produced in collaboration with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) Somalia, the Somali Water and Land Information System (SWALIM), a number of other agencies, and several Somali non- governmental organizations (NGOs). Significant amounts of rain fell in most of the Northwest From June 1 to 10, field reports and satellite rainfall estimates indicate rainfall ranging from 10 and 50 millimeters (mm) was received in most of Awdal and Woqooyi Galbeed and localized areas of Sool and Sanaag Regions of the Northwest and Bari Region of the Northeast. However, there was little or no rain in most of South-Central Somalia (Figure 1). Rainfall was below the 2005- to-2009 mean in most of northeastern, central, and southern Somalia and parts of Sanaag, Sool, and Togdheer Regions in northwestern Somalia (Figure 2). In the Northwest, moderate rains fell in Awdal and Woqooyi Galbeed Regions of the Northwest. However, no rains fell along the coast in Guban Pastoral livelihood zone. In addition, localized light-to-moderate rains were received in some parts of the Hawd and West Golis Pastoral livelihood zones, including in Burao, Buhoodle, and Odweyne Districts, but agropastoral areas in Togdheer remained dry.
