Market Prices o Local cereal prices increased or were stable from July to November in most markets, but they started declining with the start of the December Deyr harvest with the exception of Lower Juba o Livestock prices declined due to excess market supply and increased border patrols and restricted movements related to insecurity incidents in northern Kenya o Prices for most imported commodities have declined or remained stable o The MEB cost declined in most regions in the 2nd half of 2014; a significant increase was recorded in Bakool region (trade disruptions) compared to a year ago and 5-year average Projection (Feb-Jun 2015): •Staple sorghum and maize prices are expected to decline seasonably in January through March in major cereal producing regions (Bay and Shabelle) in the South as a result of average to above average harvest in January •Some markets remain poorly integrated with producer markets and not well served by the local supplies from seasonal production, hence price decline is always shorter period •Rice prices are likely to remain stable as a result of record Global rice production in 2014; •Cattle prices are expected to decline further due to oversupply on local markets until May 2015 when they start increasing due to Ramadan collection Purchasing Power (Rural Livelihoods) Terms of Trade: Cereal to Goat Terms of Trade (ToT) goat/ cereals: 100 Central (Red Rice) NE(Red Rice) oToT incr from July 2014 in 90 80 NW (Red Rice) most southern regions due to 70 60 declined cereal prices; but fell in 50 40 other regions, most significantly per Kg Head 30 in Central (18%) due to 20 10 declined livestock prices; ToT is 0 08 09 10 13 14 11 12 07 08 10 11 12 13 14 09 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Jun Jun Jun Jun Jun Jun Jun Dec Dec Dec Dec Dec Dec Dec higher/ close to 5yr average Dec Month (2009-2013) in most regions, apart from Bakool, Gedo, Terms of Trade: Agriculture Labour Wage to Cereal Northern and Central Regions, which are lower Terms of Trade (daily labour/ cereals): oToT has improved in most crop- growing areas compared to 6m and 5yr average due to declined cereal prices/ increased labour wages; the highest ToT (17kg of cereals/ daily farm labour rate) recorded in Bay region.

Most of the conflicts occurred in Africa (16), followed by Asia (nine), the Middle East (six), Europe (two) and America (one). • Repression by the Burundian government and the youth wing of the ruling party CNDD-FDD, the Imbonerakure, intensified prior to the 2020 elections. • The widespread reduction of violence and the beginning of the demobilisation of armed groups led to the end of the armed conflict in the Congolese region of Kasai. • There was an escalation of violence by the ADF in eastern DRC as a result of a military operation conducted by the Congolese Armed Forces in the last quarter of the year. • Various analysts highlighted that ISIS would be seeking a greater role in the conflict in the Lake Chad region, which mainly affects northeast Nigeria and the neighbouring regions of Chad, Cameroon and Niger, due to the increase in the group’s actions. • Violence in the Cabo Delgado province in northern Mozambique increased due to the presence of armed groups calling themselves jihadists. • South Sudan, with 2.21 million refugees, ranked as the largest refugee crisis in Africa and the third largest in the world, behind Syria and Afghanistan.

INTRODUCTION This nutrition survey is the seventh in a series of surveys that UNICEF has conducted in Central and Southern Somalia since September 1999 and the third within the framework of the joint UNICEF/FSAU survey agreement. UNICEF planned the survey, conducted the fieldwork, trained enumerators, monitored survey activities, and carried out data analysis and interpretation. UNICEF is grateful to Somalia Red Crescent Society who facilitated the work in Beledweyne. 1.2. SURVEY JUSTIFICATION UNICEF has supported a supplementary feeding programme in Beledweyne town during the past three years through International Medical Corps (IMC) yet there continues to be evidence of increasing malnutrition rate amongst the population in Beledweyne District although the level of malnutrition is not well documented. There have been alarming reports of food insecurity and displacement mainly in the pastoral and agro-pastoral areas resulting in a decision to conduct a nutrition survey in Beledweyne District, including the displaced population and residents. 1.3 SURVEY OBJECTIVES - To determine the level of malnutrition and Oedema in Beledweyne District by screening the Weight for Height measurement of children between 6– 59 months or 65-110cm. - To measure the determinant factors causing/contributing to existence of malnutrition by recording the occurrence of diarrhoea and ARI diseases in the two weeks prior to the survey. - To measure measles vaccination and Vitamin A supplementation coverage in Beledweyne District and monitor performance in the past 6 months. - To measure the extent of household movements during the changes in Beledweyne District, which has impacted on aid service deliveries.

  • SOMALIA Post-Deyr 2012 Food Security and Nutrition Outlook January to June 2013
    SOMALIA Post-Deyr 2012 Food Security and Nutrition Outlook January to June 2013 Despite improvements, more than one million likely to remain in Crisis through June 2013 KEY MESSAGES Figure 1. Current rural food security outcomes, January 2013 • As a result of positive impact of the good Deyr rains on livestock and crop performance and continued humanitarian assistance, the number of people in Crisis and Emergency (IPC Phases 3 and 4) has halved to 1.05 million since August. Even so, malnutrition rates in Somalia remain among the highest in the world, according to surveys conducted from October to December 2012. Humanitarian assistance to protect livelihoods, reduce acute malnutrition, and help the most food insecure populations meet their food needs is still necessary. • With the onset of the January to March Jilaal dry season, livestock productivity will decrease, but no major changes in food security classification are expected between now and June. However, livelihoods in Somalia remain at risk to a wide variety of hazards such as limited water access. • Early forecasts are that the April to June Gu rains will be normal to below normal in terms of total rainfall. However, if total seasonal rainfall is well below average or very poorly distributed unlike in the early forecast, the food insecure population is likely to increase. The primary areas affected would likely be maize-growing, agropastoral areas of the South.

It does not necessarily reflect chronic food insecurity.
