Following the recent floods in Somalia, a number of IDPs were affected and displaced which were at risk to poor hygiene and sanitation if not intervened timely. The assessment was planned after extensive discussion with the WASH cluster partners through the regional WASH cluster meeting held on 29th April 2018 at CPD hall in Adado District. This assessment would not have been possible without the generous support of the WASH partner organizations mentioned above who supported questionnaire data collection in Abudwak, Adado and Dhusamareb Districts of Galmudug State, Somalia. The GU seasonal rain started with heavy rains flooding most in middle and lower shabelle but it has not spared the IDPs in Galmudug State affecting 3,315 Households in Abudwak, Adado and Dhusamareb District IDP Camps as well. These people affected by the floods are mostly the IDPs and some Host communities’ homestead leaving stagnant around their homes and leaving massive flood around their water sources leaving stagnant water in all the area and destroying latrines and the IDPs temporary shelters.

    Country Information and Guidance Somalia: Security and humanitarian situation in south and central Somalia Version 2.0 July 2016 Preface This document provides country of origin information (COI) and guidance to Home Office decision makers on handling particular types of protection and human rights claims. This includes whether claims are likely to justify the granting of asylum, humanitarian protection or discretionary leave and whether – in the event of a claim being refused – it is likely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under s94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. Decision makers must consider claims on an individual basis, taking into account the case specific facts and all relevant evidence, including: the guidance contained with this document; the available COI; any applicable caselaw; and the Home Office casework guidance in relation to relevant policies. Country Information The COI within this document has been compiled from a wide range of external information sources (usually) published in English. Consideration has been given to the relevance, reliability, accuracy, objectivity, currency, transparency and traceability of the information and wherever possible attempts have been made to corroborate the information used across independent sources, to ensure accuracy. All sources cited have been referenced in footnotes. It has been researched and presented with reference to the Common EU [European Union] Guidelines for Processing Country of Origin Information (COI), dated April 2008, and the European Asylum Support Office’s research guidelines, Country of Origin Information report methodology, dated July 2012. Feedback Our goal is to continuously improve the guidance and information we provide. Therefore, if you would like to comment on this document, please email the Country Policy and Information Team.

  • Building Resilient Communities in the Face of Climate Change Through Community-Based Approaches in Somalia
    BUILDING RESILIENT COMMUNITIES IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED APPROACHES IN SOMALIA Abdullahi Sheikh Abdisalam, 50-years old farmer and the father of 9 children collects watermelon from his farm in Luuq district of Gedo Region, Somalia. Photo: Mohamed Bashir/NRC. Published by Abdikarim Ali, BRCiS NRC Communication and advocacy coordinator Luuq, also known as Luuq Ganaane, is one of the oldest districts of Gedo region of Jubba land state of Somalia. It locates at the bend of Juba River, where the Juba river flows down from north to south in a horseshoe shape. The district borders Ethiopia and Rabdure (Bakool Region) to the North, Wajiid District (Bakool), and Berdaale District (Bay Region) District to the East, Garbaharey District to the South and Beled Hawa and Dolow Districts to the West. The district has an estimated geographical area of 8,258 km2 and an estimated population of about 65,000 people living in the Luuq town, but the total population of the district is estimated at 185,703 people. Luuq has a hot climatic condition with little rainfall. The temperature is always high, and the areas are cyclically tropical by drought and the floods, which adversely affect the farm-based livelihoods. Several consecutive seasons of rain failure have led failed crop harvesting driving many people into food insecurity. Like any other sector, agriculture has adversely been affected by Somalia’s lack of functional and robust government in more than thirty years. Gedo region, in particular, Luuq district was severely affected, which was one of Somalia’s food basket areas.
