The proposed interventions were geared towards improving food and nutrition status of the targeted communities to reduce vulnerability and enhance their resilience to future shocks. In Kenya, the project was implemented in Jumble and Warabley locations in Fafi Sub-County and Damajaley and Kulan locations of Dadaab Sub-County, where 665 households were to benefit from farming support, 1205 households were to benefit from pastoral support and 635 households were to benefit from environmental initiatives directly. In Somalia, the proposed interventions sought to support 2,500 pastoralists and agro pastoralists households, with a special focus on women and households with young nutritionally vulnerable children in Puntland and Somaliland over a 2-year period.

Sensitization of the community on the project was carried out in both Fafi (Jambele, Warabley, Kamuthe and Nanighi) and Dadaab sub-counties (Kulan and Damajaley) and the target beneficiaries were also captured. For the Environment conservation, Four Community Based Natural Resource Management Committees were formed in Warabley, Jambele, Damajaley and Kulan and they focused on protecting and conserving the natural resources at community level. The areas of focus included: graze land management, forest management, soil management and water resource management. The KRCS tree nursery has been expanded from a capacity of 25,000 tree seedlings per season to 500,000 tree seedlings per season and the seeds required were procured. 20 hectares was established where a total of 50,000 indigenous tree seedlings were planted in November 2016. This initiative was done in collaboration with UNHCR where by the KRCS through the Hunger Resilience program supported the fencing of the new greenbelts as well as allowances for the casuals, tools and pipes while UNHCR supported the establishment of the drip irrigation system that supplies water from the solarized boreholes. Insecurity and the current ongoing drought from 2016, interfered with some of the activities resulting in delays. Also, funding delays made the project to lag behind. However, sensitization resumed after security reports were received from the intelligence section. Pastoral groups had been identified but the formation of the groups was delayed by the on-going drought since the pastoralists were on the move. Somalia Puntland The Hunger Resilience Project is targeting the Somali communities in Mudug region. The project focused on the needs of the vulnerable members of the communities in the region. The project anticipated targeting a total of 1,500 households (9,000 people) in Mudug districts of Gladogob, Harfo, Jerriban and Galkayo, the number reached was 1500 households (9,000).

A visit was conducted between 5th to 7th October 2016 by the IFRC technical support. It was observed that despite the repatriation of the refugees back to Somalia KRCS could continue to implement to the project at the IFO 2 camp as initially planned. The focus on the refugees was on offering soft skills which could be used across border as a sustainable means of livelihoods while in the host community the focus would be on both soft and hard skills that will be used locally in Dadaab. The KRCS is successfully continuing with the implementation especially on restoration of the land degradation and the repatriation process is not affecting the project. The IRCS, SRC, KRC and IFRC met on 17 January in Nairobi to review and discuss the implementation of the hunger and resilience programme, so that the IRCS can have a first hand and field level talk and exchange with the partners of this programme. The SRC, KRC and IFRC presented the first annual report of the programme during the meeting on 17 January. Both KRCS and SRCS under the Hunger and resilience implemented the baseline survey otherwise other activities like planting of food/cash crops, trees and procurement of irrigation material have taken place.

Certificate of merit pg.11 And many more stories inside... In November 2011 the Ministry of Health in Somaliland opened a campaign in Borama Fistula Center. Besides the 80 cases operated there already by December, one doctor from Bassaso hospital undergone practical training on fistula management with the technical team in Borama. The same doctor from Bossaso undertook an eight weeks training in Kenya early 2011. In Puntland 41 cases were operated in Galkayo Medical Center. Almost two thirds of the patients came from South Central Somalia, especially from the Mogadishu region. Cases were identified by NGOs working in those areas and supported by UNFPA to report to Galkayo Medical Center. The costs of the campaign were totally covered by UNFPA. 18 - year old Nimo Mohamoud said she will wait five years with having another baby, just to make sure she is fine again, after having undergone a fistula operation at the National Fistula Hospital in Borama. Obstetric fistula, one of the most devastating childbirth injuries, is caused by the lack of skilled birth attendant and access to emergency care during delivery. It is a highly stigmatizing, though in most cases treatable condition that results from pro- longed, obstetric labor and cases chronic incontinence. The Somaliland campaign which is part of a larger global cam- paign, addresses all aspects of obstetric fistula, from prevention and treatment to social reintegration of woman recovering from treatment.

A researcher was stationed in each regional capital (Gaalka'yo, Boosaaso and Garoowe) both to facilitate more participatory consultative work with communities at the grassroots level and to assist the nascent administrations in defining their developmental hurdles. Research work started with informal (mostly one to one) consultation with members of the local administrations (regional/district), the traditional and titled community elders, local NGOs, businessmen, intellectuals, women's groups, the political leadership and otherconcerned individuals. International NGOs, UN and other Agencies operating in each region were also consulted. On the basis of these discussions, three descriptive and analytical "Regional Notes", addressing critical reconstruction issues, were presented in a draft form in late 1997 to internal and external actors in the North East, and to representatives of donor and aid agencies in Nairobi. Consultations then took place in all three regions with selected representatives of these groups, with the aim of soliciting their comments, corrections and suggestions to the content of the Notes.

Somali Region, Ethiopia 9 Because the magnitude of the fluctuation is important, it has not Nutrition Survey Update & Other Info 10 been possible to have single clear cut-off points to define a crisis throughout the country and therefore levels of malnutrition that are common place in one part of the country are considered quite critical in another. Internationally acceptable cut-off points and emergency indicators are also not very useful as all areas of the country have malnutrition rates that are consistently at levels that are significantly above the normal. This in itself is a subject worthy of great debate in terms of allocation of resources – the acute crisis versus the chronic crisis. The continued poor level of humanitarian access to the areas of greatest concern i.e. Gedo, Juba, Mogadishu, Galgadud and Sool Plateau affects both the possibility of implementing good quality surveys and following up with the desirable interventions. PUNTLAND During the recent Gu seasonal assessment, a review of nutrition data for Consumption of Meat Products in Puntland generally indicated levels of acute malnutrition within the Selected Villages in Qardho expected range in most districts with a few notable exceptions.
