Warsheikh Situational Report (Rapid Assessment for Solar Poweredwell in Warsheikh District) WARSHEIKH SITUATIONAL REPORT (RAPID ASSESSMENT FOR SOLAR POWEREDWELL IN WARSHEIKH DISTRICT) Assessment Team: 1. Mubashir Mohamed Ahmed ADT 2. Mohamud Jinow Afrah Water Engineer 3. Abdullahi Salad Qoslaaye Construction and Solar System Expert 28/06/2021 Brief Background Warsheikh district compose of 52 villages. Warsheikh town is the seat of district which belongs to middle Shabelle region of Hirshabelle state. The town is on the Indian ocean 40km north of Mogadishu. It is well known Islamic historical center and hosts centers of Sufi Dariqas. The twon is very known the traditional Islamic studies such Fiqihi, Arabic Grammer and Tafseer. It was one of the principal settlements of the Sultanate of Mogadishu during the Middle Ages. The town has an old mosque situated near a cape, which features an inscription noting its construction in 1278H (1861-1862 CE). Politically, it was center for the resistance of Italian colony. Warsheikh was before the civil war a popular destination for Sufi adherents who visited tombs of Sufi clerics and saints buried in the town. It was popular for beach lovers away from the mostly crowded Mogadishu beaches, recently the town away from Mogadishu only 40 km has been a boom of visitors. The population of Warsheikh is estimated 3200 HHs or 19200 people. Warsheikh district like other districts doesn’t have segregated data but they claim the population in the town is more than 3200HHs. According to the Warsheikh mayor about 8634 children under 18 years, 5778 women and 4788 men are living in Warsheikh town. The livelihood in the town is variety of small businesses, fishing, farming and animal herding. Warsheikh is famous with red snapper fish which locals call it (Gaduudow). Despite the historic importance of Warsheikh town, it is still suffering lack of potable water. No running water in the town and the only water source is traditional open shallow wells. We have been getting requests from the elders and sheikhs in the town for water well quite a while. Recently one of the prominent Dariqa leader from the town contacted us and asked for well offering himself to take full responsibility of the repair and maintenance of the well. This is why we are proposing a solar well for Warsheikh. Objectives of the assessment The aim of this assessment is to assess the water and sanitation problems in Warsheikh district and surrounding villages to support the community in their attempts to get access to clean water. specific objectives: ✓ To assess the current water shortages, hygiene, and sanitation situation in Warsheikh town and the surrounding villages. ✓ To evaluate sources and quality of water in Warsheikh and neighboring villages ✓ To identify key factors and underlying causes of these problems and suitability for solar powered well Methodology Focus group discussions was organized. The group composed of 10 members of district water office head, community leaders, women religious leaders. A team of 3 members led by ADT project officer have conducted the assessment and completed it within two days. The report key findings. ➢ There is poor water quality and poor sanitation in Warsheikh town which affect the health of the community negatively. ➢ High malnutrition and diarrhea are common in the district and is attributed to poor water quality and sanitation. ➢ The water sources in the district are contaminated open traditional wells which are the source of water borne diseases such as acute watery diarrhea and other diseases. ➢ Due to failure of GU rains this year most parts of South-Central regions of Somalia including Middle Shabelle are facing droughts that threaten the lives of communities and their livestock across the regions. ➢ In drought affected villages under Warsheikh district, water scarcity is a leading cause of displacements and resource-based conflicts. ➢ Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the access to adequate WASH facilities plays an important part in the control of the disease. ➢ Pastoralists living in villages under Warsheikh district come to Warsheikh town looking for water while the town itself is suffering of acute water shortages. ➢ The interviewed people informed us that 52 villages in Warsheikh district depend on Warsheikh town economically and health services. ➢ Water table in Warsheikh area is not far and enough water can be reached in 20- 35 meters. ➢ The people and local authority in Warsheikh town are so happy with the Solar powered well and believe it will increase access to clean water and will decrease water borne decease incidents in the town and surrounding villages. Challenges and constraints Security In Somali, the security is the main challenge for every project. Warsheikh district is very save and there are no security concerns. It is under the full control of Hirshabelle state and federal government of Somalia. Al-Shabaab militants are not active in the district and surrounding villages. But sometimes there is inter-clan conflicts based on resource and land territory disputes. Rough road Warsheikh town is 40km north of Mogadishu. The road from Mogadishu and Warsheiklh is very rough and sandy which strong 4WD vehicles only manage to go through, otherwise, you stuck in the sand and you compromise your security. The town depends on Mogadishu for essentials such as food stuffs and all types of commodities including construction materials. Recommendations Based on water shortage in Warsheikh town and the surrounding villages, the assessment team recommends: • Installation of the solar well in Warsheikh town. It is suitable for the project because it has significant population, no security problems and water table is not far and quality water can be reached within 35 meters. • To start the project as soon as possible as there is dire need of clean water in the town and neighboring villages because of the drought in the area. • The people and district leaders are so helpful and eagerly waiting the delivery of the project. .

    Protection Cluster Update Funded by: The People of Japan Weeklyhttp://www.shabelle.net/article.php?id=4297 Report 29 th July 2011 European Commission IASC Somalia •Objective Protection Monitoring Network (PMN) Humanitarian Aid This update provides information on the protection environment in Somalia, including apparent violations of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law as reported in during the last week through the IASC Somalia Protection Cluster monitoring systems. Incidents mentioned in this report are not exhaustive. They are intended to highlight credible reports in order to inform programming and advocacy by the humanitarian community and national authorities. General Overview A combination of famine, drought, lawlessness and conflict during the last two weeks continues to raise the number of multi layered direct and indirect protection related cases in South Central Somalia. The United Nations officially declared famine in parts of Bakool and Lower Shabelle regions, declaring that Somalia is experiencing the worst drought in decades. 1 Currently in some parts of Bakool and Lower Shabelle, acute malnutrition tops 50 percent and death rates exceed six per 10,000 populations per day. 2 In other parts of southern Somalia, the humanitarian crisis is escalating as aid agencies struggle with funding constraints and access to Al Shabaab controlled areas. Although Al Shabaab recently lifted a ban on aid agencies, the group has since retracted the statement and has continued to restrict humanitarian aid access in many areas under their control. 3 Hence many aid agencies have reported that they are still unable to reach an estimated 2.2 million Somalis facing starvation in many Al Shabaab controlled areas.

Overview The Reer Hamar [also spelled Rer Hamar] is a minority group in Somalia (ACCORD Dec. 2009, 17; Mohamoud Feb. 2012, 10). According to Minority Rights Group International (MRG), rer hamar means "the 'clan' of Hamar" [also spelled Xamar], otherwise known as Mogadishu (Oct. 2010, 11). In correspondence with the Research Directorate, a UK-based independent researcher who lived in Somalia for 25 years and completed her doctoral thesis on the Reer Hamar/Benadiri people stated that the Reer Hamar "belong to the lineage groups that are associated with stone-town Mogadishu, the oldest part of the city ... which was historically known as Hamar" (21 Nov. 2012). MRG explains that the Reer Hamar are part of a group of minorities that originates from "mercantile urban communities" established by migrants from the Arabian Peninsula who settled along the southern coast of Somalia and built stone towns for defence and trade (Oct.

During April 2011, only 3.5% were children younger than five among the reported casualties. • From 14-15 May 2011, WHO in collaboration with Puntland and Galmudug ministries of health trained more than 40 health workers on AWD/cholera prevention, case detection and management. The health workers are from 9 districts of Galgaduud and Mudug and are now fully skilled to assist an estimated population of 780 000 people1. Update on major public health concerns: • Trends of acute watery diarrhoea (AWD)/cholera The cholera transmission season is ongoing. Some areas in most regions of Somalia have received sporadic rainfall. Due to water shortages, WHO observes that there is a likelihood of a risk in transmis- sion of waterborne diseases as communities tend to utilize water from contaminated sources. Investigation of a number of rumors have confirmed the existence of AWD cases though not severe. Since week 12, and following a confirmed cholera outbreak in Mogadishu, 2268 AWD/cholera cases including 1782 (79%) cases under the age of five with 77 related deaths have been reported from Banadir Hospital in Mogadishu (see graph 1).

    Agulhas and Somali Currents Large Marine Ecosystems Project Capacity Building and Training Component National Training Plan for SOMALIA Prepared by: Mr. Hassan Mohamud Nur 1) Summary of key training requirements a) Skill training for fishers. b) To strength the scientific and management expertise c) To introduce an ecosystem approach to managing the living marine resources d) To enhance the local and international markets. e) To secure processing systems f) To upgrade environmental awareness and waste management and marine pollution control g) To create linkages between the local community and the international agencies 2) introduction: Somalia has 3,333Km of coast line of which 2,000Km is in the Indian Ocean south of Cape Guardafui and 1,333Km of north shore of Gulf of Aden. Surveys indicate high potential for fisheries development with evenly distributed fish stocks along the entire coastline, but with greater concentration in the Northeast. The fishing seasons are governed by two monsoon winds, the south west monsoon during June to September and northeast monsoon during December to March and two inter-monsoon periods during April/May and October/November. In the case of Somalia, for the last two decades the number of people engaged in fisheries has increased from both the public and private sector. Although, the marine fisheries potential is one of the main natural resources available to the Somali people, there is a great need to revive the fisheries sector and rebuild the public and private sector in order to promote the livelihood of the Somali fishermen and their families. 3) Inventory of current educational Capacity Somalia has an increasing number of elementary and intermediate schools, beside a number of secondary and a handful of universities.
