  • 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.

  • REGION: MIDDLE SHABELLE REGION INTRODUCTION Middle
    REGION: MIDDLE SHABELLE REGION INTRODUCTION Middle Shabelle is located in the central regions of Somalia. The region borders Galgadud to the north, Hiran to the west, Lower Shabelle and Banadir regions to the south and the Indian Ocean to the east. A pre-war census estimated the population at 2 million and today the Regional Council claims that the region's population is around 1.5 million. The umbrella clan is Hawiye with major clans that include: Abgul, Galjacel, and Shildle and minor clans include: Moblem, Hawadle, Kabole, Hilibe . The region consists of seven districts: Jowhar - the regional capital, Balad, Adale, Aden Yabal, Warseikh, Run-Nigrod and Mahaddey. The region supports livestock production, rain-fed and irrigated agriculture and fisheries, with an annual rainfall between 150 and 500 millimeters. Covering an area of approximately 60,000 square kilometres, the region has a 400 kilometre coastline on the Indian Ocean. The Shabelle river runs for 150 kilometres through the region. EDUCATION The Middle Shabelle has three state recognized schools (plus 5 women's handicraft schools), in Adale, Aden-Yabal, and Balad, enrolling 5,000 students and has approximately 300 teachers. The international community is also involved in education. InterSOS supports a primary school with the provision of salaries for 40 Somali teachers and breakfast for the students. InterSOS began supporting the school in May, 1994, then having an enrollment of 130 pupils. Since then, it has expanded to 1170 pupils, 12 classes, and 39 teachers. WFP/MSF-Spain and local NGOs have rehabilitated the two main schools in Jowhar. Currently neither is operational due to lack of furniture and equipment, though MSF-Spain is assisting local carpenters in the production of furniture for the schools.

  • 2020: Human Rights Report
    SOMALIA 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Somalia is a federal parliamentary republic led by President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed “Farmaajo,” whom the bicameral parliament elected in 2017. Farmaajo is the country’s second president since the Federal Government of Somalia was founded in 2012. The federal parliament consists of the 275-member House of the People and the 54-member Upper House. The country’s last parliamentary elections took place from October 2016 to January 2017. Caucuses selected House of the People members, with seats distributed according to clan affiliation and a power-sharing formula. State assemblies elected Upper House members. The parliamentary electoral process was widely viewed as marred by corruption, but the two houses of parliament elected President Farmaajo in a process viewed as fair and transparent. The government of the self-declared Republic of Somaliland controlled its jurisdiction. The 2012 provisional federal constitution states federal police, overseen by civilian leadership in the Ministry of Internal Security, have responsibility for law enforcement and maintenance of order within the country. Many parts of the country remained outside government control, with the insurgent Islamist group al- Shabaab contesting government control. The African Union Mission in Somalia, under civilian African Union leadership, and the Somali National Army, under civilian leadership in the Ministry of Defense, are the primary internal security providers. Civilian authorities did not always maintain effective

Donor USAID/OFDA Award Number/Symbol AID-OFDA-G-16-00265-01 Start and End Date of Program August 1, 2016 – July 31, 2018 Start and End Date of Reporting Period August 1, 2016 – July 31, 2018 Final Report Date October 31, 2018 Somalia Emergency and Livelihood Intervention Program II (SELIP) Final Report Date: October 31, 2018 Executive Summary Mercy Corps has implemented SELIP II program since August 2016, providing critical life-saving and recovery emergency intervention, initially targeting 66,400 individuals of the most vulnerable disaster-affected households in villages and/or IDP camps, with an initial budget of $2,500,000. Despite the success of SELIP II in responding to humanitarian needs of conflict and climate-affected populations across Somalia, in early 2017 the country experienced severe drought conditions that continued to worsen throughout the year, and Mercy Corps requested an addition budget of $4,000,000 in cost extension. This enabled Mercy Corps to support the disaster-affected communities and families with critical and immediate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) needs/services, expanded economic recovery and market systems (ERMS) support, and targeted agriculture and food security activities in the South Central Somalia regions of Galmudug, Lower and Middle Shabelle, Banadir, and Lower Juba as well as in new drought-affected areas in Gedo and Baidoa (IDP camps).
