Post Gu Analysis Technical Series Report No V. 15 October 15, 2008 2008 Post Gu Analysis Food Security Analysis Unit - Somalia Box 1230 Village Market Nairobi, Kenya Ph: 254-20-3745734 Fax: 254-20-3740598 Web site: www.fsausomali.org Email: [email protected] Technical and Funding Agencies Managerial Support European Commission FSAU Technical Series Report No V. 15 ii Issued October 15, 2008 Acknowledgement FSAU would like to thank the fifty five partner agencies for their participation and support in this seasonal assessment and analysis (see Appendix 5.9). This crucial assessment would not have been possible without the technical participation and timely logistical support provided by our partners. The assessment and analysis would not have been possible without the dedication and expertise of the FSAU’s twenty seven field based analysts who continue to work under very difficult conditions. Abdulkadir M. Abikar Abdulkadir Abikar, began working with FSAU in 1993, and for the 15 years with the project he has shown a high degree of professionalism and dedication. Having an agricultural background and having spent much of his earlier career in Shabelle and Juba regions with the Ministry of Agriculture, this gave him valuable experience for his duty area in the Shabelles. Abikar was a professor to a number of the FSAU Field Analysts and he continues to provide guidance and knowledge on many aspects of agriculture. Often working in difficult situations and conditions, Abikar has none-the-less been dependable and willing to take on many new challenges. We would like to thank him for all his contributions to FSAU and wish him well in his retirement. Mahadsanid!

City & Province, Country: Kahda District in Banaadir Region and Adale District in Middle Shabelle Region, Somalia 2. Organization: Real Medicine Foundation Somalia (www.realmedicinefoundation.org) SAACID (www.saacid.org) 3. Project Title: Emergency Aid Response to Drought Affected Communities 4. Reporting Period: January 2018 – March 31, 2018 5. Project Location (region & city/town/village): Kahda District in Banaadir Region and Adale District in Middle Shabelle Region, Somalia 6. Target Population: Real Medicine Foundation’s program, Emergency Aid Response to Drought Affected Communities, targets 150 vulnerable IDP households (about 900 beneficiaries) in two districts of Somalia: Kahda, Banaadir region and Adale, Middle Shabelle region. Kahda District is the largest host area for internally displaced persons (IDPs) from three regions, namely Lower Shabelle, Bay, and Bakol. Adale District is a small, coastal, semi-arid rural district which depends on rain-fed agriculture, pastoralism, and fishing. It was particularly hard hit by the drought of 2011 and hosts a large number of IDPs. RMF’s program provides emergency food assistance in the form of monthly food baskets and food vouchers to the targeted families in these two districts. II. Project Information 7. Project Goal: Sustain 150 vulnerable IDP families (about 900 beneficiaries) in Adale and Kahda districts by improving food intake and meeting dietary needs, ultimately supporting these families’ efforts to regain health and self- sufficiency. 8. Project Objectives: Provide emergency food assistance to families that are facing life-threatening drought, displacement, and threats of intimidation and violence: • Procure and distribute a monthly food basket to the targeted households in Adale and Kahda districts.

    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.

  • Agulhas and Somali Currents Large Marine Ecosystems Project
    Agulhas and Somali Currents Large Marine Ecosystems Project Capacity Building and Training Component National Training Plan for SOMALIA Prepared by: Mr. Hassan Mohamud Nur 1) Summary of key training requirements a) Skill training for fishers. b) To strength the scientific and management expertise c) To introduce an ecosystem approach to managing the living marine resources d) To enhance the local and international markets. e) To secure processing systems f) To upgrade environmental awareness and waste management and marine pollution control g) To create linkages between the local community and the international agencies 2) introduction: Somalia has 3,333Km of coast line of which 2,000Km is in the Indian Ocean south of Cape Guardafui and 1,333Km of north shore of Gulf of Aden. Surveys indicate high potential for fisheries development with evenly distributed fish stocks along the entire coastline, but with greater concentration in the Northeast. The fishing seasons are governed by two monsoon winds, the south west monsoon during June to September and northeast monsoon during December to March and two inter-monsoon periods during April/May and October/November. In the case of Somalia, for the last two decades the number of people engaged in fisheries has increased from both the public and private sector. Although, the marine fisheries potential is one of the main natural resources available to the Somali people, there is a great need to revive the fisheries sector and rebuild the public and private sector in order to promote the livelihood of the Somali fishermen and their families. 3) Inventory of current educational Capacity Somalia has an increasing number of elementary and intermediate schools, beside a number of secondary and a handful of universities.
