iv Burkina Faso – Emergency Humanitarian Action Plan

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The floods which occurred in Burkina Faso during the months of July and August 2010 affected an estimated 105,481 people in five regions and caused severe damage to key socio-economic infrastructures such as homes, bridges, roads, schools and health centres. Thousands of people are still in need of assistance; however aid distribution has been in some parts delayed by difficulties in access. EHAP This first flood is of concern as the country is still Key parameters weeks away from the end of the rainy season. August 2010 to January 2011 Duration (normally six months) Several thousand people have taken shelter with host Total affected population families while others have opted to remain in their includes: damaged homes. The stress placed upon host  18,000 children under-five Affected families may also soon begin to show, resulting in an  46,000 women population increased need for alternative accommodation, food  30,000 men and other needs. The most recent assessment  10,000 displaced people in estimates that some 10,000 people are sheltering in shelters more than 80 public facilities including schools, Areas Five Regions (Centre-Nord, targeted by Hauts-Bassins, Est, Sahel et churches and other public buildings. Flash Appeal Plateau Central) Food Aid, WASH, Agriculture, Key sectors Humanitarian organizations and the Government Nutrition, Protection, Health and for response initiated a swift response in all accessible areas, using Education in-country stocks. According to the National Multi- Key target 105 000 people, including: Hazard Disaster Preparedness and Response Plan beneficiaries  65,000 for food approved in April 2010, the overall humanitarian (approximate  85,000 for WASH response is being organized through the figures)  105,000 for health Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) headed by the UN Resident Coordinator (RC) and comprises the Total funding Funding requested per requested beneficiary National Committee for Emergency Aid and $14,163,313 Approximately $134 Rehabilitation (CONASUR), local authorities, UN agencies, the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). OCHA-Regional Office for West and Central Africa deployed a humanitarian affairs officer during three weeks in August. The Emergency Response Roster is also due to deploy another staff member shortly.

Although assessment of all affected areas is still in progress, the immediate needs have been identified and include:  support for food security including activities in support of agriculture  health, primary health care (PHC), including reproductive health and disease control, preventive medicine and basic care to address waterborne diseases  improvement of access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH)  support to the rehabilitation of schools  provision of non-food items (NFIs)

In coordination with the Government of Burkina Faso and in response to their official request for assistance formulated to the Resident Coordinator in August, the HCT prepared this Emergency Humanitarian Action Plan (EHAP) to cover the needs of a projected caseload of 105,000 people affected by flooding. Actions are planned for initially six months until the end of February 2011, beyond which humanitarian actions if still needed, will be revised accordingly. In consultation with the Government, the UN system, participating NGOs, and other partners are seeking to mobilize a total of $114,163,313 for activities for six months to sustain life-saving activities, as well as assist affected populations to regain their dignity and livelihoods. The appeal includes projects from UN organization and NGOs.

2. CONTEXT AND HUMANITARIAN CONSEQUENCES

2.1 CONTEXT AND RESPONSE TO DATE Located in West Africa in the Sahel, Burkina Faso is populated by 15.2 million inhabitants.2 The birth rate is 46.1% and the mortality rate stands at 15.2%. The life expectancy is around 52.7 years. The country is also experiencing significant population movements, both internally and externally. High population growth is contributing to increasing urbanization and to creating an imbalance between available natural resources and demographic pressure. The situation is further compounded with the country’s structural poverty that is exacerbated by external shocks such as the economic and food price crises.

Burkina Faso’s internal migration is due mainly to the rapid degradation of the environment, which is linked to its overuse. Droughts and flooding are severe and commonplace and, in the case of floods, having been occurring with greater regularity and causing greater damage over the past ten years. Despite these unfavourable climatic conditions, the country’s economy is essentially based on agriculture and cattle-breeding which occupies more than 80% of the labour force.

During the months of July and August 2010, several regions in Burkina Faso recorded heavy rainfalls, including over 200 mm/24hours. Severe damage was sustained by homes and primary infrastructure such as bridges, roads, health centres, schools and wells/boreholes. This situation puts the affected populations in dire conditions including rendering them more vulnerable to the spread of disease, lack of food, medicine, etc. In the Centre North and Plateau Central regions, the Tougouri and dykes and the Zorgho dam have stopped functioning. As of 23 August 2010, five regions and nine provinces of the country have been affected by floods.

The most affected regions are:  Centre-North with 239 millimeters of rainfall within 24 hours from 22-23 July 2010  Plateau Central with 202.3 millimetres of rainfall from 3-4 August 2010  Hauts Bassins, Sahel, and East Regions

4 Burkina Faso – Emergency Humanitarian Action Plan

The Government has already provided the affected population with food, and other emergency material (NFIs). Main government partners in the early response are: United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), Burkinabe Red Cross, Plan International, Caritas/Organisation Catholique pour le Developpement et la Solidarité (OCADES) and SOS Sahel. Several others including European Commission Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection (ECHO), United States Agency for International Development (USAID) are planning to provide support based on ongoing assessments. UNDP has approved $50,000 contribution in support of coordination activities.

In addition to humanitarian coordination meetings, two high level government/humanitarian partner meetings were held to review the ongoing response, needs and gaps and consolidate grants/pledges. UNICEF plays lead role in coordination in nutrition, WASH, education and child protection while WFP coordinates the Food Aid and Logistics sectors.

Two CONASUR/UNICEF joint missions have dispatched pre-positioned emergency stocks (including NFIs, BP5/ready-to-use therapeutic food [RUTF], etc.) in the most severely affected areas which accounts for about 80% of the total affected population in Centre North, East and Plateau Central regions. WFP food distributions of general rations to 65,000 flood victims commenced in early August and are ongoing, complementing the Government food assistance provided.

So far, the current floods have killed 17 people and rescue teams are still looking for missing people. The affected populations have lost all their means of livelihood, with houses collapsed, livestock decimated, and fields flooded. In the province of Namentenga (Centre-Nord Region), the populations of some flooded villages have withdrawn to the hilltops as the only means of escaping the waters.

In August, following a request from the UN Resident Coordinator, the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) allocated $1,244,572 from the Rapid Response window to ensure implementation of the most urgent life-saving elements of the flood response. The CERF funds will be used for life-saving interventions in the health, water and sanitation, food and nutrition sectors.

Key facts and figures of response to date

Coordination Group Key Elements of Response to Date Food Aid  WFP: At the early emergency onset 725 metric tons (MTs) of food assistance mobilized from WFP in-country stocks for immediate response. WFP is providing in- kind individual food rations of maize flour, vegetable oil, and pulses (‘niébé’) to 65,000 adults until early/mid-September 2010. Improved corn soya blend (CSB) and fortified vegetable oil is provided to children under-five, pregnant and lactating women to prevent under nutrition.  Christian-Aid: Ongoing food distribution to 6,201 families affected by the flood (having lost grain reserves or/and fields) in Samantenga and Namantenga.  Cash-for-Work (CFW): Activities to 350 beneficiaries, works include reconstruction of agricultural fields, access routes and improvement of nutrition gardens.  Action Contre la Faim (ACF): Manni Irrigation scheme rehabilitation (CFW) and training in flood damage prevention. If additional funding is available, ACF would extend its intervention remaining in the East Region targeting affected areas Coalla, Liptougou, Piella and Thion. Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFIs) UNICEF has contributed NFIs including 131 bundles of second hand clothes for children and adults, 2,060 mats, 3,250 large blankets, 503 cartons of soap, 7,000 plastic cans, 2,375 buckets and 8,000 cups with a total value of $145,000.

2.2 HUMANITARIAN CONSEQUENCES AND NEEDS ANALYSIS According to the government request for assistance dated 9 August, it is estimated that 105,481 people (13,193 families) have been affected and 17 people are reported to have lost their lives

Areas and people affected by floods - Data as of 6 August 2010 % of Number of Number regional N° Regions Female Male Total Affected areas people of pop. affected families affected Centre – Namentenga, 1 86,516 76,804 163,320 34,705 4,339 21% North Sanmatenga 2 East 156,295 150,367 306,662 Gnagna 50,150 6,269 16% Soum, Séno, 3 Sahel 196,096 193,743 389,839 18,300 2,293 5% Oudalan Hauts - 4 108,475 105,996 214,471 Houet 326 41 0% Bassins Plateau 5 188,257 163,746 352,003 Ganzourgou 2,000 251 1% Central Totals 735,639 690,656 1,426,295 105,481 13,193 7%

The displaced population, of whom a large proportion is women and young children, has critical unmet food and non-food needs which could not be fully covered by the initial assistance provided by the Government, hence the primary rationale for this EHAP. They have lost their homes, possessions, crops and livestock and the poorest have no source of livelihood until the next harvest in November. Significant loss of productive assets has occurred: community and household cereal stocks have been lost and while damaged sorghum and millet crops may be recoverable, in Namentenga province alone more than 100 ha. of rice crops and a significant area of maize and bean crops have been wiped out.

The floods have hit some of the most vulnerable and food-insecure regions at the start of the lean season, when many of those affected were already surviving on one-meal-a-day prior to the disaster. Since 2007, the East and Sahel regions have been considered priority areas for emergency nutrition operations, given the high levels of food insecurity and malnutrition. The majority of affected communities have already been identified as areas at risk of food insecurity during the 2009-2010 agricultural assessment. Prior to the disaster, the provinces of Gnagna and Namentenga were already suffering from a deficit in cereal production at 28% and 16%, respectively. For this reason, since March 2010 the Government had introduced the sale of cereals at subsidized prices in these areas.

In response to the new crisis, the local structures responsible for coordinating relief and assistance (Regional Committee for Emergency Aid and Rehabilitation [CORESUR], Provincial Committee for Emergency Aid and Rehabilitation [COPROSUR] and Departmental Committee for Emergency Aid and Rehabilitation [CODESUR]) were activated and missions dispatched to the communities most affected for rapid assessments and implementation of operations assistance. On 25 July, a Government mission visited the Central, North and East Regions to monitor preliminary assistance efforts and remaining needs.

A rapid emergency needs assessment was undertaken by the Government Early Warning System (SAP) and WFP in late July. This assessment and subsequent joint BRCS, UNICEF, and NGO rapid assessments found that conditions in the temporary shelters are highly precarious, with overcrowding, little or no access to food, safe water, hygiene and sanitation facilities. Affected people indicate that food assistance is the top priority for them, ahead of assets and water. Evaluations conducted by the Regional and Provincial Directions of Agriculture (DRA/DPA), which were supported by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) field missions, in the three most affected regions (Sahel, Centre North and East regions), indicated that at least 11,000 farming households (approximately 88,000 people) have been affected.

A primary concern is to establish continuity in delivering assistance by the government and humanitarian actors in terms of access to safe and adequate water and sanitation, health, food access and rehabilitation of production capacities for the rural population affected. Government and humanitarian partners are still facing serious logistical constraints, with some areas still hard to reach.

7 Burkina Faso – Emergency Humanitarian Action Plan

2.3 SCENARIOS 2.3.1 Best case  There is no further unseasonably high rainfall that would cause further significant damage, and the internally displaced people (IDPs) are successfully relocated into safe and adequate sites.  The humanitarian community receives sufficient funding to meet immediate needs for the next six months enabling the government and humanitarian actors to begin the reconstruction and rebuilding of livelihoods for the most vulnerable.

2.3.2 Worst case  Further rains cause additional flooding, increasing the number of displaced and increasing the strain on the Government and humanitarian community.  Fear of floodwaters breaching dams causes further mass movement of the population.  Sufficient funding is not received from the donor community resulting in significant gaps in humanitarian assistance and delaying transition to recovery.  Possible loss of lives

2.3.3 Most likely  The most likely scenario on which the response is build is a return to normal levels of rainfall which allows the emergency responses to the damage caused by the floods of July and August through the country and the launching of rehabilitation activities.  Affected populations resume their livelihoods activities.

3. RESPONSE PLANS

3.1 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES FOR HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE Although assessment data has been difficult to collect due to difficulties in accessing some zones, priority needs and sectors have been identified through consultations between the sector leads and members, including the Government, after reviewing available assessment data and response capacities. Wherever possible, these projects aim to complement the activities and available resources of the Government, activities by the ICRC and NGO partners.

As the crisis evolves, and results of assessments and surveillance became available, immediate and medium-term measures will need to be revised, to ensure an appropriate response to the changing environment. Projects selected for this appeal met the following criteria: 1. The project directly preserves life, health or safety; or, 2. The project reduces aid dependence with a time-critical factor (i.e. within the six months of this appeal); or, 3. The project provides essential common services that enable such actions

Across all sectors, efforts will be made to identify the most vulnerable groups and individuals in need of protection and assistance.

3.1.1 Food Aid Lead Agency United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) Implementing Partners Ministry of Social Affairs with the National Council of Relief and Rehabilitation, BRCS, Save the Children (SC) Canada Helvetas, ACF, OXFAM, Red Cross of Burkina Faso, Christian Aid, local partners MICROFI, L'Alliance Technique d'Assistance au Développement (ATAD), Office de Développement des églises Evangéliques (ODE) and Réseau Marp Number of Projects 3 Sector Objectives  To save lives and to protect livelihoods  To reduce hunger and to safeguard the already precarious nutritional status of vulnerable groups i.e. young children and women  To rehabilitate /restore the livelihoods of those affected by the floods Beneficiaries At least 65,000 people Funds Requested $3,419,218 Contact Information Annalisa Conte, [email protected] Gabrielle Duffy, [email protected]

Sectoral Objectives The objective is to save lives and protect livelihoods, to reduce hunger and to safeguard the already precarious nutritional status of vulnerable groups, particularly young children and women.

Strategy and Proposed Activities The emergency assistance programme includes two phases: (i) immediate life-saving response to meet the acute needs of the flood victims (August/September); and (ii) relief/recovery of people’s livelihoods (October 2010 to January 2011). Activities will target the flood-affected and food-insecure population i.e. at least 65,000 beneficiaries of whom about 13,000 are children under-five and pregnant women. Targeting criteria include displacement, loss of assets and loss of main source of income.

During the first phase, WFP provides in-kind food aid during August and early September, i.e. individual rations of maize flour, vegetable oil, and pulses (‘niébé’) to adults for the preparation of on-site cooked meals. WFP will ensure that the special needs of young children under-five are covered through the on- site preparation of nutritious porridge using sweetened CSB and fortified vegetable oil. Cooked meals will be prepared collectively in shelters by volunteer groups. Cooking utensils were made available by CONASUR for this and eventual needs will be completed by UN agencies and NGOs. WFP’s assistance will be complementary to food aid (mostly cereal) provided by the Government, UNICEF, International NGOs, charity and civil society organizations.

The second phase envisages a more comprehensive package of assistance: Considering that markets are expected to resume functioning at the pre-crisis levels, from September/October to December, short- term CFW programmes will be implemented to help households to: (a) rebuild their livelihoods; (b) meet their essential needs; and (c) resume economic activities in the affected communities through market

9 Burkina Faso – Emergency Humanitarian Action Plan demand. Activities will focus on the rehabilitation of lowland plots for horticulture, water-management facilities, rehabilitation of feeder roads to facilitate trade and market supply, reconstruction of dwellings and productive assets, etc. If required, other types of cash transfer may be implemented to assist vulnerable beneficiary groups who are unable to participate in CFW activities.

Some 15,350 flood-affected people will participate in community-based livelihoods recovery activities and will receive cash payments in return. The amount of cash transfer has been determined based on the average prevailing daily wage in rural areas (about $2.50). It is estimated that each participant (one or two people per household) will work 15 full working days per month, and that the cash transfer received will benefit four to five family members. Therefore some 65,000 beneficiaries4 will be reached. The monthly cash transfer corresponds to about 65% of the national minimum wage. Taking into account the average share of household food expenditure in the targeted geographical areas, it corresponds to almost 100% of a five-member household food need.

Expected Outcomes  Improved food consumption for targeted emergency-affected people meeting minimum food requirements.  Targeted communities have regular access to adequate food (quantity and quality) as well as to productive assets in the post-flood situation.

4 This is a conservative estimate.

3.1.8 Logistics Lead Agency United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Social Affairs with the National Council of Relief and Implementing Partners Rehabilitation Number of Projects 1 To ensure rapid delivery of emergency assistance to food-insecure people in areas Sectoral Objectives isolated by flooding Beneficiaries 5,500 people from 13 villages Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Social Affairs with the National Council of Relief and Implementing Partners Rehabilitation Funds requested $30,000 Annalisa Conte, [email protected] Contact Gabrielle Duffy, [email protected]

Sectoral Objectives The objective is to ensure rapid delivery of emergency assistance to food-insecure people living in those areas isolated by flooding.

Strategy and Proposed Activities WFP launched an IR EMOP and mobilized in-country stocks to meet the immediate critical food needs of around 65,000 flood victims. It is expected that this assistance will save lives and will safeguard the already precarious nutritional status of vulnerable groups, particularly women and young children.

Distributions of in-kind food aid for 28 days are ongoing. Individual rations of maize flour, vegetable oil, pulses and CSB are being delivered to intermediate distribution points by government-owned trucks. Implementing partners (SC Canada and the BRCS) are responsible for the transport of commodities from these intermediate points to the final distribution sites in the villages. Transport is undertaken by road.

However, heavy rains continue and access to flooded areas in the Centre-North and East regions is still difficult. A rapid Logistics assessment found that thirteen villages with a population of 5,500 are accessible only by helicopter. Transport by small boats is difficult due to strong currents.

Flooded regions are among the most vulnerable and food-insecure, where many of those affected were already surviving on one meal a day. It is therefore essential to ensure that critical food assistance quickly reaches these cut-off areas.

In preliminary discussions, the Government (Ministry of Defence) has confirmed that helicopters could be made available for food deliveries to cut-off areas if WFP covers the operating costs. Each helicopter has a capacity of three metric tons and an initial estimate to deliver 50 MTs of food would require 17 flights. helicopters would move from Ouagadougou to Tougouri, the intermediate delivery point where commodities are stored.

Expected Outcomes  Timely delivery of emergency food assistance

Indicators to measure outputs include:  number of delivery points reached (as % of planned)  average no. of MTs (food or NFI) transported  cost per MT/m3 transported  volume of cargo delivered vs requested

At central level, the coordination of assistance to flood victims is placed under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Social Assistance (MASSN) through CONASUR, the National Council on Relief Operations and Rehabilitation. At local (decentralised) level, Government representatives (Governors, High- Commissioners, Chief Commissioners respectively in charge of Regions, Provinces and Departments), are appointed as top officials of these coordination structures and as such they monitor the assistance in collaboration with decentralised departments of MASSN at local level.

The overall coordination of the response by the humanitarian community will be led by the United Nations Resident Coordinator. Priority action in this regard will be to sustain the continued engagement of all relevant stakeholders in the monitoring, planning and response processes by supporting effective information management, joint assessments, operational reporting and financial tracking. This should help ensure that all operations remain relevant and complement governmental efforts to address identified needs. Efforts will also be made to encourage concurrent investment in recovery/development interventions that will address the longer-term impact and help reinforce preparedness at various levels.

23 Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP)

The CAP is a tool for aid organizations to jointly plan, coordinate, implement and monitor their response to disasters and emergencies, and to appeal for funds together instead of competitively.

It is the forum for developing a strategic approach to humanitarian action, focusing on close cooperation between host governments, donors, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, International Organization for Migration (IOM), and United Nations agencies. As such, it presents a snapshot of the situation and response plans, and is an inclusive and coordinated programme cycle of:

 Strategic planning leading to a Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP);  Resource mobilization leading to a Consolidated Appeal or a Flash Appeal;  Coordinated programme implementation;  Joint monitoring and evaluation;  Revision, if necessary;  Reporting on results.

The CHAP is the core of the CAP – a strategic plan for humanitarian response in a given country or region, including the following elements:

 A common analysis of the context in which humanitarian action takes place;  An assessment of needs;  Best, worst, and most likely scenarios;  A clear statement of longer-term objectives and goals;  Prioritized response plans, including a detailed mapping of projects to cover all needs;  A framework for monitoring the strategy and revising it if necessary.

The CHAP is the core of a Consolidated Appeal or, when crises break out or natural disasters strike, a Flash Appeal. Under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator, and in consultation with host Governments and donors, the CHAP is developed at the field level by the Humanitarian Country Team. This team includes IASC members and standing invitees (UN agencies, the International Organization for Migration, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and NGOs that belong to ICVA, Interaction, or SCHR), but non-IASC members, such as national NGOs, can also be included.

The Humanitarian Coordinator is responsible for the annual preparation of the consolidated appeal document. The document is launched globally near the end of each year to enhance advocacy and resource mobilization. An update, known as the Mid-Year Review, is presented to donors the following July.

Donors generally fund appealing agencies directly in response to project proposals listed in appeals. The Financial Tracking Service (FTS), managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), is a database of appeal funding needs and worldwide donor contributions, and can be found on www.reliefweb.int/fts.

In sum, the CAP is how aid agencies join forces to provide people in need the best available protection and assistance, on time. OFFICE FOR THE COORDINATION OF HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS (OCHA)
