BACKGROUND 1.1. Introduction In response to the recent drought and frost which has affected all parts of the country but more severely affecting certain districts in the Highlands Provinces, the National Disaster Drought Response Committee (NDDRC) team comprising of various National Technical Agencies were deployed to all regions of the country beginning 23rd of August, 2015. The objective of the deployment to the regions were to: (i) Assess the extent of damage to determine level of immediate and long term assistance required by the affected communities. The sectors to be assessed includes; food and water security, health issues, education and economic sectors (ii) Carry out capacity assessment on the capabilities & responsiveness of respective provincial governments to manage the effects of El-Niño (iv) Carry out awareness on drought mechanisms and strategies with the Provincial Disaster Government and affected communities (v) Assist PDC establish and strengthen existing government structures at the Provincial, District and Local Level for effective coordination of humanitarian relief operations. Following presentation of the reports, the National Disaster Drought Response Committee requested Government Agencies and various Organizations to carry out their respective organization’s preparedness and response activities. The Deputy Secretary of Health agreed for a Health Risk assessment (Health Service functionality) to be conducted in the districts worse affected in the highlands provinces. The Technical team of the National Department then visited the highlands provinces from 14- 18th of October 2015 with the purpose: 1. To visit district health facilities in the worst affected districts and assess their capacities and functionality 2. To conduct awareness on surveillance, reporting, investigation and response 3. To provide report to National Department of Health and to NDRC of the findings 2.

IMPACT ASSESSMENT WERE DONE ON THE FOLLOWING AREAS 3.1. Coordination & Control Provincial Disaster Committees are seen not be functional and lack of coordination from the provincial level and district level as observed and reported by the local health workers. Magarima and Pangia reported that there were some form of committee working in these centres but health official were not part of the team. It was observed that Kandep district had 2 disaster committees working in parallel. 3.2. Health Facility Operations: All health facilities are operating; General Operations: Most health facilities have scaled down their operations mainly due to water shortage. There were some admissions (e.g. in Ialibu District Hospital) with shorter length of stay with medicines supplied for home treatment while rest attend to outpatient only & minor emergencies. Birth deliveries are referred while in cases, they asked to bring their own water for delivery. Diseases pattern: Some cases of diarrhoea and dysentery, skin infections are been seen but no increases over time suggestive of an outbreak. One health facility confirmed of referring a severe malnutrition case to a hospital. In some centres, there has been notable increase of new HIV cases. Deaths reported in the media were not verified by the authorities on the ground in the respective health facilities. Outreach programs: Notably, all health facilities experienced reduction in the number of people attending outreach programs such for maternal and child health programs including immunization sessions. Health staff: Generally despite the situation, health workers have been on site and no absenteeism has been observed as yet. Communication: Communicating with provincial level is difficult with the National HF radio out of order in all provinces, unavailability of telecommunication services while CUG is available in Western highlands province. Most resort to using their private cell phones. Electricity: Electricity supply is problem in some HF’s. Nongugl HC in Jiwaka province had their power cut due to non-payment of bills for the past 9 months. This centre has gas fridge functioning for Vaccines. 3.3. Water & Sanitation Availability of water at the health facility is most single important issue for which has resulted in scaling down of operations and water need for the health workers. Most health facilities depend on rain catchment and the tanks we saw were either empty or less water were in the tanks. Tambul HC and Mogol HSC water is supplied through the town reticulation system. Health care workers & families using water from big rivers however water collection containers availability is an issue for collection and storage. Water purification tablets were supplied with the 100% medical kits but not been utilized as staff were unaware of how to use them. Water carts are used in Ialibu/Pangia in SHP, Ziwaka and Simbu provinces with costs ranging from K250 – K350 per 7,500 litres. 3.4. Food Security We observed garden produce food shortage as there were zero to fewer fresh produce products in the markets. Food prices increasing for both fresh produce and store goods. Health workers are not yet going out searching for food but the general public are and already people have suffered from food poisoning as result of eating alternatives. For example mushrooms, bush beans. Stealing of food from gardens have been reported in some areas and this is expected to increase which may result in increasing law and order. In one particular district, the district authorities with assistance from rural police enforced ban on selling fresh food been sold at the market especially bought in other areas and resold for fear of missing out on handouts. 3.5 Drugs & Supplies Health facilities currently have adequate supplies of essential drugs, ORS, IVF and IV lines.

As a customary process of political ecology adaptation to the subsequent food insecurity caused by crop- destroying frosts, people migrate to lower altitude areas where kin and friends provide sustenance and social support. However, with increasing economic development and the demise of collective kin endeavours in the region, long-distance migration networks no longer appear to offer people respite from food insecurity.
