From April until July 2009 a total of 33 nutrition surveys were conducted, 80 health centres visited and nearly 12,000 children measured in rapid assessments. Without the support and expertise of 15 local NGO, 12 International NGO, 2 Local Authorities and 3 UN agencies, this would not have been possible. A sincere note of thanks and appreciation also goes to the FSNAU nutrition team based in Somalia and Nairobi who work under such difficult conditions yet continue to produce such high quality professional work.

The FSNAU biannual seasonal technical series reports have always included an integrated analysis of all sectors including nutrition, however given the scale of nutrition information available, a separate publication was deemed appropriate. Therefore, this report does not replace the seasonal technical series report rather complements it, with a specific focus on nutrition information. The FSNAU Post Gu ’09 Technical Series report, will be released in the coming weeks and provides a detailed analysis by region and by sector of the integrated food security situation. FSNAU Technical Series Report No VI. 25 vii Issued September 11, 2009 FSNAU Technical Series Report No VI. 25 viii Issued September 11, 2009 1. Executive Summary An integrated analysis of the nutrition information from the Gu‘ 09 season indicates a varied yet alarming situation throughout the country (See Map 1). Civil insecurity in Mogadishu leading to on-going population displacement, the severe and deepening drought conditions in Central regions, parts of the South and in the northwest regions and the continuing elevated commodity prices, are the key driving factors in the current analysis.

    SOMALIA | FLOOD RESPONSE IN COVID-19 CONTEXT SOMALIA As at 7 May 2020 90,000 400,000 40,000 persons displaced by persons at risk of being beneficiaries targeted in flash floods and riverine displaced by floods initial distribution of NFI kits flooding Flooded neighbourhood in Gaalkacyo. OPERATIONAL CONTEXT The onset of the Gu seasonal rains in late April has caused riverine and flash flooding in many areas of Somalia and affected more than 200,000 persons including damage or loss of homes, schools, small businesses, boreholes and livestock. It is expected that the Gu season (April-June) will impact Somalia at similar levels to the Deyr rains of 2019 when more than 400,000 persons were displaced. With 2.6 million internally displaced persons Somalia has the fourth largest IDP population in the world and second largest in Africa. NEEDS AND GAPS Decongestion: Flooding increases congestion especially for those who are displaced. High density sites and communities and lack of household items are key factors for transmission of COVID 19. Decongestion through expansion of sites, rearranging shelters, provision of emergency shelter and household items can help reduce the risk of transmission and will certainly improve the living conditions. Shelter and NFI: Assuming that half of the projected 400,000 individuals (80 per cent of affected) will need both NFI kits (consisting of emergency items such as blankets, jerry cans, plastic sheets and more) and emergency shelter, and the remaining half will need either shelter or NFI kits, a total of 50,000 NFI kits and 50,000 shelter kits will be required.

  • SOMALIA Food Security Outlook October 2018 to May 2019
    SOMALIA Food Security Outlook October 2018 to May 2019 Deyr rainfall expected to sustain current outcomes, except in some pastoral areas KEY MESSAGES Current food security outcomes, October 2018 • Food security has continued to improve throughout Somalia since the 2018 Gu. Most northern and central livelihood zones are Stressed (IPC Phase 2), while southern livelihood zones are Minimal (IPC Phase 1) or Stressed (IPC Phase 2). In October, humanitarian assistance continued to prevent worse outcomes in Guban Pastoral and northwestern Northern Inland Pastoral (NIP) livelihood zones, where Crisis! (IPC Phase 3!) and Stressed! (IPC Phase 2!) outcomes persist, respectively. Northwest Agropastoral and most IDP settlements are also in Crisis (IPC Phase 3). • Contrary to earlier forecasts, Deyr seasonal rainfall is now expected to be below-average despite the development of a weak El Niño. Overall, favorable soil moisture is anticipated to prevent large declines in Deyr crop production and rangeland resources, and current outcomes are likely to be sustained in most livelihood zones through May 2019. In Addun Pastoral, Coastal Deeh Pastoral and Fishing, and northeastern NIP livelihood zones, however, deterioration in pasture and water resources is likely to lead to Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes during Source: FEWS NET and FSNAU FEWS NET and FSNAU classification is IPC-compatible. IPC- the 2019 pastoral lean season. compatible analysis follows key IPC protocols but does not necessarily reflect a consensus of national food security partners. • In the absence of food assistance, deterioration to Emergency (IPC Phase 4) in Guban Pastoral livelihood zone and to Crisis (IPC Phase 3) in northwestern NIP livelihood zone is likely.

  • Party Somaliland:Peace-Building
    PARTY SOMALILAND:PEACE-BUILDING 1 SECESSION AND CESSATION On 26 June 1960, Somaliland obtained independence from Britain. Six days later, on 1 July, under the premiership of Mohamed Ibrahim Egal, Somaliland united with the former Italian Somalia to form the sovereign Somali Republic. In May 1991, following the overthrow of Siad Barre, the Somali National Movement (SNM) declared the secession of the northern regions to form the independent 'Republic of Somaliland', the territory of which corresponds to that of the former British Somaliland Protectorate. In May 1993, Mohamed Ibrahim Egal was elected President of Somaliland. The people of Somaliland are of the Issaq, Gadabursi and Ciise (Dir), and Dolbahunte and Warsengeli clan-families. The latter two belong to the Darod confederation of clans. The Issaq, which formed the backbone of the SNM, are the most populous clan in Somaliland. The declaration of Somaliland secession went against the previously stated pohcies of the SNM, who had insisted that they sought only to change the Barre regime. The decision to declare independence at the Grand Shir ('gathering') of northern clans in Burco, in May 1991, resulted from a popular expression of opposition to further rule from Mogadishu. This was an understandable reaction to the suffering inflicted on the Issaq people by the Barre regime during three years of war, and to the manner in which Ali Mahadi's USC assumed power in Mogadishu. Reinforcing this decision may have been a realisation that the original goal which led Somaliland into unity with the south was no longer tenable. The decision in 1960 to unite with Somalia was driven by nationalistic aspirations to join all the five Somali territories into a Greater Somalia.

    SOMALIA Rain Watch December 13, 2012 FEWS NET will publish a Rain Watch for Somalia every 10 days (dekad) through the end of the current October to December Deyr rainy season. The purpose of this document is to provide updated information on the progress of the Deyr rains to facilitate contingency and response planning. This Somalia Rain Watch is valid through December 10, 2012 and is produced in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) Somalia, a number of other agencies, and several Somali non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Deyr rains subside in most parts of southern Somalia Field reports confirm that dry weather continued in Northern regions, Hiran, Bakol, most parts of Middle Shabelle, and the northern parts of both Gedo and Galgadud Regions from December 1 to 10. However, light to moderate rains fell from December 1 to 3 in most parts of Lower Shabelle, Lower and Middle Juba, Bay, southern Gedo, Adale district in Middle Shabelle, and the southern parts of the central regions (Figure 1). A comparison with the long-term mean (LTM) indicates the rains received in early December were near-normal to above normal in Lower Juba while agricultural and agropastoral areas of Bay and Middle and Lower Shabelle received between 20 to 80 percent of normal (Figure 2). In the northern regions, typically Deyr rains starts and ends earlier than in the South and central Somalia. Contrary to the satellite-derived rainfall estimates (Figure 1) which depict light to moderate rains, all rain gauges and field reports confirmed dry conditions across the northern regions from December 1 to 10.

These villages have a total of 15164 permanent fishermen and 4437 seasonal fishermen. Adverse effects of Tsunami wave forced 1125 to emigrate. There lacks organized groups to assist the fishermen. Co-operatives existed in all the areas before the eruption of civil war. They then collapsed due to mismanagement and lack of support. As a result of this, the individual fishermen suffer the effects of high operational overheads; do not have common pool of resources, lack market information and other benefits that normally accrue associations. The willingness to create and strengthen such associations is however overwhelming in all the areas.
