    SOMALIA GENERAL . UN-Habitat is active in all the Somali regions with a current portfolio of approximately USD 40 million. UN-Habitat Somalia Program which is delivered in post-conflict Somalia, clearly fits into the UN-Habitat Risk Reduction and Rehabilitation sub-program. However, program activities can be nicely placed in almost any of UN-Habitat’s sub-programs. There is a renewed focus on Mogadishu with presently two projects running. Politically advocated but not yet practical re-location to Mogadishu will be linked to new programme recruitments. Presently, UN-Habitat has a small presence in Mogadishu through national staff and international consultants and constant missions by international staff. Existing and well established field offices are in Garowe, Bossaso (Puntland), and Hargeisa (Somaliland). Excellent cooperation exists with all Somali Administrations at central and local levels. UN-Habitat is an active member of the UN Country Team and works in support of the New Deal and the Somalia Governments Six-point Programme. JPLG, UN-Habitat Mandate implemented in Somalia Joint Programme on Local Governance & Decentralised Service Delivery Under this five-UN-Agency Joint Programme, UN-Habitat’s role covers activities which fit perfectly into its mandate: urban planning, land governance and legislation, municipal finance including GIS- based property taxation, solid waste management, and capacity building of local governments including personnel and physical infrastructure, Program delivers in all regions of Somalia, including Somaliland

    Issued January 14 2004 HIGHLIGHTS

    Issued January 14 2004 HIGHLIGHTS · Sool Plateau Update : Rains of low intensity and limited spatial coverage fell in the first week of December but did little to alleviate the current humanitarian crisis in Sool Plateau. Nutritional status surveys reflect the deteriorating food security situation of residents. An acute malnutrition rate of 18.9% (W/H<2 z-score or oedema) was found during the first round of Sool Plateau sentinel site surveil- lance exercise in November/December 2003. A UNICEF led mission in mid-December 2003 also recorded an equally high malnutri- tion rate in Sool Plateau of Sanaag (4,841 children screened). The rate was significantly higher in Sool Plateau of Sool Region (2,049 children were screened). Civil insecurity in the area is now threatening to disrupt humanitarian relief operations in the region. · Drought in Hawd of Todgheer : An inter-agency rapid assessment led by the FSAU found that the poor and lower levles of the middle wealth pastoral group are facing a high risk of food shortage, largely as a result of poor Gu 2003 and failed Deyr 2003 rains. Affected households will need to be closely monitored during the harsh, dry Jilaal season. For more information on the drought stricken region, see page 2. · Galgadud Region : UN-OCHA Somalia and FSAU carried out a low level mission to Galagdud (13-20 December 2003) to districts where people had been displaced following civil insecurity in the region. This diplacement, combined with a two month delay in the onset of the Deyr rains has undermined agricultural and livestock activities, increasing the risk of food insecurity.

Incidents mentioned in this report are not exhaustive. They are intended to highlight credible reports to inform and prompt programming and advocacy initiatives by the humanitarian community and national authorities. GENERAL OVERVIEW During the reporting period, fighting continued between Al-Shabaab forces and forces supporting the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) in Lower Juba, Banadir and Bakool regions resulting in the displacement of people, mainly within these regions and an unknown number of civilian casualties. Heavy fighting erupted between Al Shabaab and Ethiopian forces in Xudur district of Bakool region. The heavy fighting resulted in an unconfirmed number of casualties and the occupation of Xudur district by the pro-TFG forces who subsequently imposed a night-time curfew.1 Indiscriminate attacks against the civilian population, including IDPs remained a major concern over the past two weeks. At least 11 people were killed and 12 others injured during the past two weeks owing to mortars landing in Beerta Darawiishta IDP settlements of Banadir region. Al Shabaab forces are reported to have instructed IDPs to move away from areas surrounding the presidential palace as they intended to continue their attacks. 2 Fighting also erupted between Al Shabaab and Ahlul Sunna Wal-jama’a (ASWJ) in Dhuusamarreeb district of Galgaduud region resulting with approximately 300 displacements arriving mainly in Gaalkacyo district of Mudug and Garowe district of Nugaal region.
