  • CERF Reporting Template
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE RESIDENT/HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR ON THE USE OF CERF GRANTS Country Somalia Resident/ Humanitarian Coordinator Mark Bowden Reporting Period January – December 2008 I. Executive Summary The humanitarian situation in Somalia, one of the least developed countries in the world, deteriorated considerably during the reporting period due to the combination of soaring food prices, a significantly devalued Somali shilling, worsening security conditions, and a deepening drought following multiple abnormally harsh dry seasons and a poor seasonal rains in 2008. Meanwhile, the civil strife brought the country to the levels of insecurity and limited access to a degree unseen since the height of the conflict at the beginning of the nineties. Since Somalia is a traditional importer of food, importing roughly 60 percent of the country’s food needs, it was particularly badly affected by soaring food prices. The prices of both imported and locally produced food items increased up to 700 percent during the year as the Somali Shilling decreased in value by some 125 percent. In 2008, the Somalia Food Security and Analysis Unit (FSAU), which provides the guiding common assessment for humanitarian partners in Somalia, reported that, for the first time, an estimated 600,000 urban poor living in main towns and rural settlements were facing conditions of Acute Food and Livelihood Crisis (AFLC) and Humanitarian Emergency (HE), as they struggled to cope with sky-rocketing food and basic commodity prices. As a result, the estimated number of people in need of assistance reached 3.2 million, an increase of more than 80 percent since January 2008 (up from 1.8 million).

Out of the 30 stool samples collected last week, 18 have tested positive for Vibrio cholera serotype ‘inaba’. • Several AWD cases, mainly IDPs, have been reported from Kismayo with at least 40 cases and 4 deaths. WHO has sent medical supplies that are adequate to treat up to 20 severe adults or 50 children and over 100 moderate cases. Update on major public health concerns: • Trends of acute watery diarrhoea (AWD)/cholera The cholera transmission season is ongoing. Some areas have received sporadic rains, posing a high risk for transmission of waterborne diseases, such as AWD. Communities tend to use contami- nated water for domestic use, hence the high risk for sporadic outbreaks. Multiple rumors are cur- rently being investigated. Confirmed cholera outbreaks are ongoing in Mogadishu (Banadir region), the Afgooye corridor, Baidoa (Bay region), Xarardere, Bursalah, Godldogob, and Hobyo district (Mudug region), Awdhegle and Wanlaweyne district (Lower Shabelle region). Confirmed measles and dengue fever cases have been identified in Mogadishu (Banadir region). Dengue fever is con- firmed in Galbeed region of Somaliland. The cholera outbreak in Baidoa is considered under control. Graph 1.

  • Food Security Nutrition
    FSNAU Food Security Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit - Somalia & Nutrition Issued June 30, 2016 Quarterly Brief - Focus on Post Gu 2016 Season Early Warning KEY ISSUES Based on ongoing monitoring activities and the findings of the FSNAU’s rapid field assessment (June 2016) and climate forecasts for 2016 Hagaa (June - July) and Deyr (October - December), the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) projects deterioration of food security conditions in parts of Central and Southern agricultural livelihoods of Somalia in the post-Gu period (July-December 2016). The foreseen deterioration is attributed to below average Gu harvest outlook as a result of unfavourable Gu rainy season, while Hagaa (June - July) seasonal rains are also expected to be below normal. In addition, next Deyr rainy season (October-December) is likely to be below average in most parts of the Climate country due to likely La Nina event. Markets • Flood-affected areas of Hiran and Middle Shabelle are likely to be most affected, particularly during the Hagaa dry season. Similarly, livestock-dependent coastal areas (Coastal Deeh Pastoral and Cowpea Belt) of Central, where poor households mostly own small ruminants, are also likely to see deterioration Nutrition in their food security situation due to the impact of poor Gu rains and anticipated unfavourable Deyr rainy season this year. Agriculture • On the other hand, recent Gu rains have helped to recover pasture, water and livestock conditions in pastoral areas in the Northwest, including the drought-affected areas of Guban and Northern Inland Livestock Pastoral (NIP) livelihoods. The agropastoral areas of Northwest, which were affected by drought over the past two years, are likely to see some improvements due to projected above average Gu-Karan rains (July-September) with a positive impact on major harvest in November.

    SOMALIA Seasonal Monitor June 15, 2015 FEWS NET will publish a Seasonal Monitor for Somalia every 10 days (dekad) through the end of the current April to June Gu rainy season. The purpose of this document is to provide updated information on the progress of the Gu season to facilitate contingency and response planning. This Somalia Seasonal Monitor is valid through June 20, 2015 and is produced in collaboration with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) Somalia, the Somali Water and Land Information System (SWALIM), a number of other agencies, and several Somali non- governmental organizations (NGOs). Significant amounts of rain fell in most of the Northwest From June 1 to 10, field reports and satellite rainfall estimates indicate rainfall ranging from 10 and 50 millimeters (mm) was received in most of Awdal and Woqooyi Galbeed and localized areas of Sool and Sanaag Regions of the Northwest and Bari Region of the Northeast. However, there was little or no rain in most of South-Central Somalia (Figure 1). Rainfall was below the 2005- to-2009 mean in most of northeastern, central, and southern Somalia and parts of Sanaag, Sool, and Togdheer Regions in northwestern Somalia (Figure 2). In the Northwest, moderate rains fell in Awdal and Woqooyi Galbeed Regions of the Northwest. However, no rains fell along the coast in Guban Pastoral livelihood zone. In addition, localized light-to-moderate rains were received in some parts of the Hawd and West Golis Pastoral livelihood zones, including in Burao, Buhoodle, and Odweyne Districts, but agropastoral areas in Togdheer remained dry.

The project will scale up treatment and prevention of acute malnutrition among under-five children and pregnant lactating women who are the most vulnerable group for morbidity and mortalities related with acute malnutrition. The project is aiming to deploy five mobile nutrition units and it will cover 25 sites which do not have access to life saving nutrition services. The nutrition program includes Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP), targeted supplementary feeding programs (TSFP) and will support the referral of Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) children with medical complication to Qardho and Garow stabilization centers. The project also promotes optimal infant and young child feeding practices, including the provision of one to one counselling for mothers and caretakers with difficulties in adopting optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices.
