  • Somalia Drought Response
    Somalia Since 1991, International Medical Corps has worked in Somalia to implement programs that build local capacity while serving the immediate health, nutrition and sanitation and hygiene needs of the most vulnerable. Drought conditions continue to worsen in Somalia and famine looms as the country’s long-running armed conflict drags on, taking a heavy toll on civilians in much of the south-central region. The effects of drought, flooding, and displacement in addition to the fighting have left approximately half of the population dependent on outside support for their survival and livelihoods support. The drought continues to drive people from their homes in search of assistance, while disease outbreaks including cholera and measles are spreading. Restrictions on humanitarian access exacerbate the already precarious situation. EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO DROUGHT International Medical Corps is scaling up health and nutrition assistance in Mudug, Galgaduud, and Banadir, three regions at emergency levels of acute food insecurity (IPC 4). In addition, International Medical Corps is providing health, nutrition screening, and water and sanitation (WASH) assistance within the Middle Shabelle Region, currently at crisis levels of food insecurity (IPC 3). This includes mobile medical clinics in Galgaduud, Banadir, and Middle Shabelle that reach remote communities with life- saving care. We are also running a 54-bed stabilization center that provides 24-hour care for severely malnourished children with medical complications at Galkayo South Hospital. In Mogadishu, International Medical Corps is providing primary health and nutrition services in two displacement settlements. This includes screening for and treatment of acute malnutrition as well as community education healthy infant and young child feeding practices and food rations.

Middle Juba falls on the south west of Somalia, The region border lower Juba, Gedo, Bay and lower Shabelle. The region consists of four districts namely: 1. Bu'aale (The regional Capital) 2. Jilib 3. Sakow (is the larges district in the region) 4. Salagle DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMUNITY The community living in these region is predominantly Agro-pastoralist who mainly depend on rain fed crop and livestock production. The main crops are 'Maize, cowpea, and Sesame which are planted both 'Gu and Deyr' seasons these region also famous in livestock rearing especially cattle and shoats, but due to prolonged dry spells and intense conflicts, the economical situation of these communities has drastically deteriorated. Consequently many shocks such as, the ban of livestock in Garissa market and the recurrent closure of Kenya Somalia border (Which is the main market route) has grounded their hopes. Therefore Middle Juba has the largest farmland on both side of Juba River .those community living for that area most of them they produce a different products from local farmer, most of riverbank area living a Somalia Bantus, those communities is a backbone of Middle/lower Juba , because they are low cheap price of labour , example if you want a build Somali house , the one who is building is one of Somalia Bantus, Wilding ,Machining, etc .

Conclusion and Recommendations Persons Interviewed References 2 Terms of Reference Given WSP’s unique, experimental nature, evaluation and assessment are an important part of the project. Hence WSP developed at the outset a detailed set of evaluation guidelines for its country projects. Project evaluation was visualized as a two-step process. Evaluation I was to focus on project impact and effectiveness, to be carried out by WSP working group members in country, with support from the WSP national team. Evaluation II was intended as an assessment of “methodology, organizational set-up, administration, and operational functioning” to be carried out by an external consultant. Detailed guidelines and “lead questions” for both these evaluations are published in War-Torn Societies Project in Practice (1999), Annex 4, and served as the terms of reference for this evaluation. This assessment was originally envisioned as “Evaluation II.” However, the WSP team in Geneva and Nairobi requested that the terms of reference be expanded to include exploration of project impact and effectiveness in Puntland, and to allow for broader reflection on the WSP approach in the Somali context.
