Security updates and partner contribution The general security situation is relatively calm in Bay & Bakool regions. On 15 July, after military engagement pitting government forces on one side and armed militia on the other led to some trucks carrying food start to move towards town. The FSC members had, during the last FSC meeting, described as Hudur as …a district under total siege for the last 3 months and in dire need of Emergency Response.

The majority of people in need are now looking forward for humanitarian support in such areas as Hudur. This follows increased access in areas that were previously inaccessible.

As a way of sustaining the calm security situation a member informed the meeting that it is imperative for agencies working in the two regions to regularly share information and engage to work closely with the local communities.

Presentation of summary district level information by response objective and review of gaps per district Based on June, 2012 reports from the FSC members 4, 545 people in need from El Barde and Rab Dhure districts of Bakool region were reached through Improved Access to Food. No people in need were reached through Livelihood Investment or Safety Nets responses. There were also no people reached in Bay region during this period.

There is a general feeling that Bay & Bakool Regions have not been receiving much support from the UN, donor and the general humanitarian agencies for a long time. There is need to address this and the FSC is requested to assist considering that the majority of the IDPs in most regions including Mogadishu are from Bay & Bakool regions. In this regard, there was a great deal of discussion on the way forward to bring the plight of people in need in Bay & Bakool to the International Community. A dismal harvest was expected due to crop failure as a result of drought.

The members informed the meeting of the acute water problem facing both human and livestock. In this regard, there is need for agencies to address the water problem urgently.

The meeting was informed that the purchasing power of most people in need had been eroded due to drought and crop destruction by locusts. As a result more people in need Improved Access to Food and others supported through Livelihood Investment.

Any Other Business On line elections for the position of FSC Vice Coordinator for Bay & Bakool regions would be run later in the month with the new vice coordinator expected to chair the next FSC meeting on 27 August, 2012.

The Bay & Bakool members resolved, as a way of highlighting the plight of people in need in Bay & Bakool regions, to start holding monthly FSC meetings in these two regions and not in Banadir/Mogadishu security allowing.

Agencies sought to carry out joint Rapid Assessment(s) in the two regions on the prevailing humanitarian conditions and share with the FSC before the next meeting.
