Corrected Legend Format on 10.7.2013 SOMALIA Livestock Price Bulletin February 2016 The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) monitors trends in staple food prices in countries vulnerable to food insecurity. For each FEWS NET country and region, the Price Bulletin provides a set of charts showing monthly prices in the current marketing year in selected urban centers and allowing users to compare current trends with both five-year average prices, indicative of seasonal trends, and prices in the previous year. The livestock sector is central to the economic and cultural life of the Somali people. The sector provides food and income to over 60 percent of the country’s population. Burao and Galkayo are the largest livestock markets in the Horn of Africa especially for export sheep and goats from the Somali region of Ethiopia and parts of southern Somalia. The majority of the livestock exported through Berbera and Bosasso seaports transit or pass through these markets. Burao and Galkayo are two important reference markets for key pastoral livelihood zones of Hawd, Sool Plateau, Nugaal valley, and the Adun in the northeast and central regions. Beled Weyne connects the south and central regions of the country, and is the supply source of export cattle through Bosasso port. Dinsor, Bardera, and Afmadow are important cattle markets in the agro pastoral livelihood zones in southern Somalia. Significant number of the cattle trekked to Garissa, Kenya transit these markets. Afmadow is largest cattle market in southern Somalia. It is the reference market for the largest cattle belt in the Juba valley. It is the main source of the cross border cattle trade to the Garissa, Mombasa, and Nairobi markets in Kenya. 5 Year Average 2010/11 - 2014/15 Previous Year 2014/15 Current Year 2015/16 Goats (Local Quality): Nominal retail prices in Bossaso Goats (Local Quality): Nominal retail prices in Dhusamareb, Gadon 2,000,000 1200000 1000000 1,600,000 800000 1,200,000 600000 SOS/each 800,000 SOS/each 400000 400,000 200000 0 0 Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug 5 Year Average Previous Year Current Year 5 Year Average Previous Year Current Year Goats (Local Quality): Nominal retail prices in Erigavo Goats (Local Quality): Nominal retail prices in Hargeisa 1,200,000 600000 500000 900,000 400000 600,000 300000 SOS/each SOS/each 200000 300,000 100000 0 0 Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug 5 Year Average Previous Year Current Year 5 Year Average Previous Year Current Year FEWS NET gratefully acknowledges the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit--Somalia and other UN, network, and private sector partners for assistance in providing price data.

  • Galmudug State Idp Camps Rapid Wash Assessment Report
    GALMUDUG STATE IDP CAMPS RAPID WASH ASSESSMENT REPORT Host community in Qaradhi village, Adado District fetching water from stagnant pool of water in the water source. 5TH – 9TH MAY 2018 Galmudug State Rapid WASH Assessment Report (@2018, CPD) 1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Through the WASH Cluster, CPD as the lead agency organized rapid WASH assessment with SCI, IRC, SSWC and the regional Local Authority (Galmudug Disaster Management Agency) between 5th to 9th May 2018 in Galmudug State. Following the recent floods in Somalia, a number of IDPs were affected and displaced which were at risk to poor hygiene and sanitation if not intervened timely. The assessment was planned after extensive discussion with the WASH cluster partners through the regional WASH cluster meeting held on 29th April 2018 at CPD hall in Adado District. This assessment would not have been possible without the generous support of the WASH partner organizations mentioned above who supported questionnaire data collection in Abudwak, Adado and Dhusamareb Districts of Galmudug State, Somalia. The GU seasonal rain started with heavy rains flooding most in middle and lower shabelle but it has not spared the IDPs in Galmudug State affecting 3,315 Households in Abudwak, Adado and Dhusamareb District IDP Camps as well. These people affected by the floods are mostly the IDPs and some Host communities’ homestead leaving stagnant around their homes and leaving massive flood around their water sources leaving stagnant water in all the area and destroying latrines and the IDPs temporary shelters. The Assessment was carried out in 24 different IDP camps in Abudwak, Adado and Dhusamareb District IDP Camps, Galmudug State.

SUMMARY 1.1 Key findings/considerations. 1.2 Herale district- Social structures - Herale ‘’district’’1 was formerly part of Balanbale district of Galmudug state. It is a relatively small settlement that neighbors Balanbale district in Galmudug state. The area has an estimated population of 29,000 residents;it is divided into six sub-locations. It is located about 600km north of the Somali capital Mogadishu and straddles between AbudwakandBalanbale districts. The Dir clan is the dominant constituency with the presence of the minority clans in Herale district. - The Dir clan is comprised of many sub- clans majority of who settle in Somaliland while substantial constituencies live in south central Somalia. Suure sub clan is the branch of Dir family that occupies Herale district. The community has a strong tradition that bonded the community over the years. However, the tradition seem to have been weakened over time by the political contests between politicians that supported Galmudug state formation in 2015 and ASWJ allied faction that opposed its formation- because of the federal governments interference.The disagreement resulted a bloody conflict that saw the ousting of ASWJ backed faction that dominated the politics of the district for decades from Herale town to Hurshe settlement 15 KM north of the city.

  • UNHCR Somalia
    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.

  • 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.
