Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP)

The CAP is much more than an appeal for money. It is an inclusive and coordinated programme cycle of:

strategic planning leading to a Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP); resource mobilisation (leading to a Consolidated Appeal or a Flash Appeal); coordinated programme implementation; joint monitoring and evaluation; revision, if necessary; and reporting on results.

The CHAP is a strategic plan for humanitarian response in a given country or region and includes the following elements:

a common analysis of the context in which humanitarian action takes place; an assessment of needs; best, worst, and most likely scenarios; stakeholder analysis, i.e. who does what and where; a clear statement of longer-term objectives and goals; prioritised response plans; and a framework for monitoring the strategy and revising it if necessary.

The CHAP is the foundation for developing a Consolidated Appeal or, when crises break or natural disasters strike, a Flash Appeal. Under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator, the CHAP is developed at the field level by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Country Team. This team mirrors the IASC structure at headquarters and includes UN agencies and standing invitees, i.e. the International Organization for Migration, the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and NGOs that belong to ICVA, Interaction, or SCHR. Non-IASC members, such as national NGOs, can be included, and other key stakeholders in humanitarian action, in particular host Governements and donors, should be consulted.

The Humanitarian Coordinator is responsible for the annual preparation of the consolidated appeal document. The document is launched globally each November to enhance advocacy and resource mobilisation. An update, known as the Mid-Year Review, is to be presented to donors in July 2007.

Donors provide resources to appealing agencies directly in response to project proposals. The Financial Tracking Service (FTS), managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), is a database of donor contributions and can be found on www.reliefweb.int/fts

In sum, the CAP works to provide people in need the best available protection and assistance, on time.

ACCESS AND SECURITY

Appealing Agency UNITED NATIONS DEPARTMENT OF SAFETY AND SECURITY (UNDSS)Project Title Enhancement of Security Environment and Accessibility Project Code SOM-07/S01Sector Access and SecurityObjective Assist Agencies to gain access to all parts of Somalia by giving UNDSS

Somalia additional resources to conduct operations. Beneficiaries UN and NGO communities and the population of Somalia Implementing Partners UN AgenciesProject Duration January – December 2007 Funds Requested $300,000

SummaryThe UN Security System has gone through a major transition as directed by the UN General Assembly. Ability to constantly assess and revise the security situation in all parts of the operational area is a major part of this transition. UNDSS’s main role is to assess the constantly changing security situation to assist the UN Agencies with access into all parts of Somalia. The UN can no longer send humanitarian staff to conduct humanitarian, recovery and development projects in risky areas without a prior assessment by professional security personnel. Somalia with its complex system on the ground is a costly environment to operate in and timely funds are needed to respond to the ever-changing situation. The funds would increase the flexibility within UNDSS. The UN Security system with such ability would enhance the possibility to get humanitarian staff into larger areas (and areas with major security problems) and also enhance the possibility of a successful completion of aid projects through managing risks.

Activities UNDSS have security professionals covering the Somalia program from bases in Nairobi, Hargeisa, Garowe and Baidoa and covers the entire country through smaller offices in seven other locations including Mogadishu. Activities include monitoring events throughout Somalia, planning for emergencies, risk management advice and implementing emergency plans and security measures when necessary. Although it is part of the UN system it also offers similar support to NGOs, donors and in the field. Specific activities include: Professional security staff who offer security risk management advice and prepare and implement

emergency plans; not only to the UN system but also regularly in with NGOs and the Diplomatic community;

Preparation of regular updates shared with the aid community; Implementation of security measures for common UN facilities, especially airstrips which are key but

currently a very vulnerable link in the delivery of aid to Somalia.

Expected OutcomesOutcomes include timely preparation of plans, reports, and security advice for agencies and support to UN Agencies when attempting to access “new” locations or locations that have gone through a period with major security problems or when responding to a major emergency. The access to such areas by Humanitarian staff is depending on the UN security system’s resources to conduct these operations.

Appealing Agency WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME (WFP) on behalf of UNITED NATIONS COMMON AIR SERVICE (UNCAS)

Project Title Airfield Security for the United Nations in SomaliaProject Code SOM-07/S03Sector Access and SecurityObjective This project aims at enhancing the security of specific airfields in order to

meet the minimum standards of security for both aircraft and personnelBeneficiaries UN and NGO communities and the population of Somalia. Implementing Partners WFP, UNCASProject Duration January 2007 – December 2009 Total Project Budget $1,744,895Funds Requested for 2007 $581,632

SummaryFollowing increasing incidents with UN aircraft in Somalia over the past years, the UNDSS risk matrix for Somalia presents risks associated with Air travel in and out of Somalia as the biggest threat facing UN staff and operations in the country. As due to the security situation agencies operate a cross border operation with the only means for the required frequent travel being by air, this presents an immediate issue. UNDSS therefore approached the UN Country Team (UNCT) in 2004 requesting funds for immediate works and services to allow for six selected airfields to meet the most basic safety requirements. Funds were provided, but they allowed for only the most basic work, as well as provisions for a more in depth assessments of the actual needs. Based on these assessments UNDSS, in collaboration with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)/Civil Aviation Caretaker Authority for Somalia (CACAS) and UNCAS, prepared a three-year project aimed at meeting a higher standard of safety for selected airfields.

Activities Given the increasing incidences of air transport security breaches, it is incumbent upon the UN to ensure that every effort is made to maximize the security for UN personnel and operations in Somalia. Conformance to a minimum level of airfield security is considered essential to ensure the continuance of on going UN operations in Somalia. After numerous negotiations with ICAO, UNCAS (WFP), UNDSS and UNDP, it was agreed that WFP will be the implementing agency for this project, considering the extensive works that they have already undertaken at various airstrips under the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) initiative. These works are very much linked to the activities in this project. . Neither of the other agencies is able to implement it in its entirety given their restricted mandates. However, throughout the implementation, these agencies will provide technical assistance and guidance, as well as implement specific components of the project. Specific activities include: Provision of essential security infrastructure to meet DSS requirements in the six airstrips; Aviation infrastructure in place at the six airstrips for emergency and/or medical evacuation capability; A ground-to-air communications system in place and managed by competent staff.

Expected OutcomeThe stated objective of this project is enhanced security for UN staff and operations in Somalia. There are several other beneficial outcomes expected in the process of enhancing security and infrastructure of airfields inside Somalia for the Authorities, the communities and the international agencies operating in Somalia.

Appealing Agency UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (UNDP)Project Title Rule of Law and Security – Law Enforcement – Special Protection Unit Project Code SOM-07/S04Sector Access and Security Objectives An efficient and effective adequately equipped Special Protection Unit

housed within the civilian police service that meets the needs and expectations of all International Agencies

Beneficiaries All International Agencies operating within Somalia Implementing Partners UNDP, Ministry of Interiors of Somaliland (SL), Puntland (PL) and the

Transitional Federal Government (TFG). Project Duration January – December 2007Funds Requested $1,904,584

SummaryThe Special Protection Unit (SPU) was initially created in November 2003 to support the Somaliland Authorities in fulfilling their responsibility towards assuring the security of humanitarian/development institutions and personnel operating in the area. The establishment of the SPU in Somaliland aims to prevent the reoccurrence of the tragic incidents, which caused the death of five humanitarian workers and the injury of others during 2003. The Authorities themselves fully recognise and accept the primary responsibility for the safety and welfare of all international aid workers. This is absolutely fundamental for the security considerations of the United Nations, which encourages and expects Governments and authorities to honour that responsibility. The SPU is available to all International UN Agencies and International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs). The SPU programme has now been extended to Puntland and will be in place in Baidoa and Jowhar as well as other geographical areas of operation as security improves countrywide.

Activities Rehabilitation of police infrastructure and deployment of trained SPU officers to all required locations and security escort duties: Rehabilitation of SPU police facilities; Support for high quality SPU police training in Somaliland, Puntland and South/Central; Support for the increased capacity for rapid response and escort duties; Equipment and logistics; Command and Control.

Expected Outcomes A professional Special Protection Unit within the civilian police force is present with adequate structures

in northeast and northwest Somalia, including key areas in Central South Somalia as the situation allows;

Increased security and protection for the continuation of humanitarian efforts in all regions of Somalia; Prioritised law enforcement institutions established, training facilities built or rehabilitated and essential

equipment provided to support police presence in all regions of Somalia.

Project Title Common Premises in SomaliaProject Code SOM-07/S05Sector Access and Security Objective Appropriate and satisfactory office and accommodation for increased UN

presence throughout SomaliaBeneficiaries UN staff in Somalia – Indirectly programme beneficiariesImplementing Partners UNDP implementing on behalf of UN Agencies in Somalia Project Duration January – December 2006Total Project Budget $1,160,000Funds Requested for 2007 $860,000

SummaryThis project aims to ensure the safety and security of UN staff in Somalia by providing appropriate office and accommodation facilities for the UN inside Somalia. By further improving safety, security and capacity, it is expected that Agencies will be able to post more regular personnel in the field. The project will thus contribute to increasing sustainable operational capacity to ensure more efficient and effective humanitarian actions.

ActivitiesPresently the UN has only limited office and accommodation structures in Somalia outside of Somaliland. To this effect, the plan in 2007 includes the setting up of UN common premises in Garowe and Baidoa, as well as Mogadishu and possibly other locations as access and safety permits. The project will entail rehabilitation of existing structures and construction of new and expanded facilities. In Garowe, a suitable site is in the process of being selected and plans to accommodate up to 80 staff have been presented. In Baidoa, works on the existing United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) compound have allowed minimal presence and security, however a more permanent solution is required to ensure minimum acceptable conditions for staff based there. With increased humanitarian assistance to Mogadishu, the compound there will need expansion in the coming year, including construction of additional facilities. Several UN offices in other locations in South-Central Somalia will need investment to ensure adequate security.

As the land on which the UN bases its common premises is in most cases a grant from the local authorities, the initial capital costs will make the UN operations in Somalia less costly in the long run by reducing the recurring rental costs in these locations.

Expected OutcomesThe project will thus contribute to increasing sustainable operational capacity to ensure more efficient and effective humanitarian actions.

Project Title Alternative Livelihood project for destitute pastoralistsProject Code SOM-07/A01ABSector Food Security and LivelihoodsObjectives To initiate a series of demonstration plots and build capacity for local

communities to mitigate against future disasters in Badhaahe and Jilib Districts that will provide appropriate livelihood skills to destitute households seeking an alternative to pastoralism.

Beneficiaries 20,000 personsImplementing Partners Local Community Based Organisations (CBOs) and Kisima Peace and

Development OrganizationProject Duration January – December 2007Funds Requested for 2007 $525,000

SummaryThe recurrent drought and political instability has drastically affected Lower and Middle Juba regions, the overall vulnerability of pastoralists and agro-pastoralist has been a major threat to livelihoods of these people. There is the need for diversification of income resources and improvement of existing farming practices to mitigate the impact of climatic fluctuations and political instability. Pastoralists are focusing more on other sources of income that include petty trading to supplement their livelihood. With the drought toll, they have been forced to sell all the family assets to gain food and other basic supplies.

Activities Put up demonstration plots that will enhance capacity on food production and need to diversify sources

of income in the region in response to the continued decline of pastoralism; Carry out relevant trainings for the beneficiaries; Investigate the possibility of replicating and expanding the activity to other areas where same cluster of

economic groups can benefit; Build the capacity of local CBOs, Community Development Committees (CDCs) and other community

organized groups to improve their resilience in mitigating the droughts and other disasters; Carry out assessments in other sectors of productive activity with a possibility of diversifying into it.

Expected Outcomes Increased support to destitute pastoralists through investment and capacity building in initiatives such

as agriculture, poultry farming, beekeeping and fishing; Improved food security situation for the otherwise destitute pastoralists; Establishment of alternative income generating activities for the pastoralist in project area.

Indicators 500 pastoralists and agro-pastoralist trained on food basic production techniques; 20 Demonstration plots established; Oversee formation and training of 30 CDCs and CBOs; Documentation of current and potential economic activity for the area as a charter for future action.

vulnerable beneficiary at household level, and in particularly in terms of food security, through the conditional and unconditional cash transfers

Beneficiaries 10,825 vulnerable householdsImplementing Partners Local Non Governmental Organisations (LNGOs)Project Duration September 2006 - February 2008 (18 Months)Funds Requested for 2007 $2,850,000

SummarySeveral assessments including the most recent, have classified Gedo region as a region under humanitarian emergency. Due to this situation, the region has the highest Malnutrition rates of over 20% Global Acute Malnutrition that have been persistent over the last five years. Gedo is largely a pastoralist region and the failure of last year’s Deyr season leading to an almost famine situation led to the death of almost 50% of the animals due to lack of pasture and Water. This loss of the only source of livelihood has made the people of Gedo to become more vulnerable and is currently living under serious financial indebtedness. This situation is likely to continue and full recovery could take several years.

Activities It is this realization that made CARE requests for this project. The project on providing conditional and unconditional cash transfers to vulnerable communities. The cash-grants will straightforwardly improve the short-term food security prospects of the beneficiary households through the immediate impact on purchasing power. In addition a more medium and longer-term effect is expected. As the Gedo region is recovering from a extended drought period and from several phases of insecurity and civil unrest, the cash grants will directly address the desirability of vulnerable households to re-invest in reproductive assets for the benefit of their long-term livelihood security. The conditional cash transfers under the Cash for Work component will also contribute to public goods. Identified community assets that will be rehabilitated will either improve infrastructure (roads) or sanitation conditions (wells) that may have an indirect bearing on livelihood security.

Expected OutcomeTo contribute to the strengthening and protection of livelihoods of 10,825 vulnerable beneficiaries at household level, and in particularly in terms of food security, through the conditional and unconditional cash transfers.

affected by prolonged drought in seven target regions in South/Central Somalia and enhance their resilience to shocks.

Beneficiaries 100,505 householdsImplementing Partners Local Non Governmental Organisations (LNGOs)Project Duration July 2006 to June 2007 (12 Months)Total Project Budget $20,482,423Funds Requested for 2007 $7,124,321

SummaryEven before the Gu rainy season was complete, the Food Security Analysis Unit for Somalia (FSAU) from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), together with Famine Early Warning System Network (FEWS-Net) Somalia, had already predicted that conditions of Humanitarian Emergency in Southern and parts of Central Somalia would continue while other areas in Central and Northern Regions continue to face stressed conditions and will be in an Acute Food and Livelihood Crisis from July through December 2006. This situation would see to a further increase of Malnutrition rates to over 20% Global Acute Malnutrition in many areas throughout southern Somalia, which is being reported to be already very high. This together with very high levels of asset loss (cattle deaths of 50% are reported in Gedo Region) and financial indebtedness will ensure that the affects of the crisis will continue into the next season, and full recovery could take several years.

The recent concluded Post Gu 2006 Assessment by the Food Security Analysis Unit for Somalia (FAO/FSAU), FEWS NET Somalia and their partners (CARE Somalia included) confirmed the above fears. The assessment concluded that although there are some improvements in certain areas, the conditions of humanitarian crisis in Southern Somalia persist and will continue at least until December 2006. “In Bakool, Hiran and parts of Central Regions, the situation is deteriorating placing populations in these areas at increased risk to Humanitarian Emergency in the coming few Months”. The comprehensive post-Gu assessment and situation analysis concluded that an estimated 1.8 million people are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance and livelihood support at least until the end of December 2006. Of this total, an estimated 1.4 million people in North, Central and Southern Somalia continue to face conditions of Humanitarian Emergency or Acute Food and Livelihood Crisis, while an estimated 400,000 are Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

ActivitiesCARE Somalia through the Rural Food Security Program (RFSP) will continue to address the current humanitarian emergency by maintaining the current levels of its food ration in Hiran Middle Shabelle, Gedo South Mudug and Galgaduud regions and will be reaching 87,396 households. CARE will provide a full ration per household to the most vulnerable beneficiaries for this period.

Expected OutcomeFood aid needs in the CARE areas of operation in Somalia for the period between September 2006 and April 2007 is currently being estimated at 28,108mt at a cost of about $17,810,803.00.However, in the case of a failed Deyr rains for 2006(October-December), the needs will increase and CARE will have to revise its plans accordingly.

Project Duration January - December 2007Total Project Budget $3,715,000Funds Requested $3,715,000

SummaryDrought and insecurity have once again challenged the resilience and coping strategies of Somalis. The situation has also highlighted the need to protect and rehabilitate productive assets in order to increase resilience to shocks, strengthen and support existing coping mechanisms, boost early livelihood recovery and prevent future potential conflict over resources. These are key to maintaining the productive capacity and livelihoods of thousands of pastoralists and agro-pastoralists living in Somalia’s marginal productive areas. The FAO’s actions are meant to save lives through more “livelihood-oriented” relief and early recovery actions and to ensure a balanced response between pastoralists and farming households.

Activities Strengthen public infrastructure, particularly water-points to facilitate movement of stocks to enable

drought-time grazing through cash for work (50 traditional water points for livestock rehabilitated); Support fodder production initiatives along rivers in order to develop economic partnership between

farmers and pastoralists (including fodder crop seed production); Support animal health initiatives aimed at increasing Somali livestock professional and Community

Based Animal Health Workers capacity (particularly in Bakool and Hiraan Regions); and rehabilitation of river embankments (in line with Somalia Water and Land Information Management System assessments and recommendations).

Expected Outcomes Increased access to water for pastoral communities at large and reduced risk of over-grazing and

rangeland degradation; Increased availability of animal feed during dry seasons; Increased number of productive animals protected from diseases; and reduced number of farming

families affected by the negative impact of uncontrolled floods.

SummaryThe experience of the recent drought that affected the Somali livelihood system demonstrated that the accurate information and timely early warning provided by the FAO/FSAU and the FEWS-Net are extremely valuable. Nonetheless, these do not necessarily lead to a rapid and appropriate response effectively able to mitigate the drought’s effects. Adequate contingency planning, improved capacity in livelihoods programming and more flexible funding mechanisms would allow more timely and efficient livelihood actions. the situation also demonstrated the vital role of national NGOs, CBOs and the Somali safety net system. Parts of Somalia have shown some success in mitigating the effects of the drought. These efforts have resulted from the collaboration between international and national organizations as well as local initiatives led by the private sector where and when international assistance has been limited by under funding and lack of access. Traditionally, Somali women were considered to play a passive role in both family and public spheres. The recent experience indicates they are becoming more active in the economic and social activities after the civil war. It is paramount that the national capacity be strengthened to increase improve the effectiveness of any humanitarian action and increase access to people in need.

Activities Monthly coordination meetings for emergency actions in order to support humanitarian information

sharing systems and establish consensus on response options, targeting, guiding principles and minimum standards, monitoring and evaluation;

Training and support of “credible” Somali partners through Project Cycle Management (PCM) approaches;

Sensitisation and training of partners on constraints and solutions for gender mainstreaming in emergency programming.

Expected Outcomes Improved quality of agriculture and livelihoods emergency actions as a result of a sound coordination

mechanism; Increased access to population in needs through national partners; and improved integration of a

gender perspective in programming.

SummaryLivelihoods of both pastoralists and farmers have been eroded in the past ten years by conflict and insecurity but also by the accelerating recurrence of the drought cycle. Somalia is either in a state of Humanitarian Emergency or in a state of Acute Food and Livelihood Crisis. Based on the 2006 FAO/FSAU post Gu assessment, an estimated 1.8 million people are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance and livelihood support. In spite of the improvement since the Deyr 2005-06 analysis, this total number is twice as high as the 922 000 estimated a year ago due to an increase in the population in Acute Food and Livelihood crisis and the worsening situation in some southern regions (mainly Hiran and part of Lower Juba). A fundamental difference between pastoral and agricultural livelihoods is that pastoralists take much longer to recover after a drought, largely because their economy is dependent on reproductive capital. The FAO’s actions are intended to save lives through more “livelihood-oriented” relief and early recovery actions. They aim to ensure a balanced response between pastoralists and farming households.

Activities Emergency local purchase and distribution of agricultural inputs for drought tolerant crops (primarily

seeds; 1,200 tonnes of locally known and adapted seeds, ½ sorghum, ½ cowpea) to 60,000 farmers in rainfed areas with significant and consecutive crop failure (Gedo, Lower and Middle Juba, Baakol and Hiraan Regions);

Animal re-distribution to marginalized pastoralists, mainly healthy shoats and pack animals (Gedo, Lower and Middle Juba, Baakol Regions);

Supporting targeted de-stocking of so called “non-productive animals” as a voluntary option for pastoralists affected by drought (Hiraan and Galgadud regions);

Other livestock actions as necessary according to the rainfall situation and subsequent conditions of rangelands, livestock health and markets.

Expected Outcomes Resumed agricultural production in rainfed areas, contributing to food security (Millenium Development

Goal [MDG] number 1); Recovery period allowing pastoralists to regain pre-drought livelihood and economic wealth conditions

reduced from five to two years (MDG 1); A fair price to pastoralists for their livestock is ensured, thus contributing to maintain purchasing power

in order to preserve productive animals (MDG 1).

SummaryWFP new Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO) 10191.1 started in July 2006 and will run for a period of two years, throughout 2007 up to mid 2008. WFP’s aim is to improve the overall household food security in Somalia. WFP strategic priorities are: a) Respond to emergencies to save lives and protect the livelihoods of the most vulnerable groups, b) Support improved nutrition and health status of malnourished children under five (U5) and vulnerable mothers, c) Support improved nutrition and health status of Tuberculosis (TB) and Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) patients, and d) Support rehabilitation and recovery projects through Food-For-Training (FFT) and Food-For-Work (FFW) for asset creation and protection.

ActivitiesLivestock condition and production will be enhanced with improved water and pasture availability. However, many pastoral and agro-pastoral households will remain in a state of Humanitarian Emergency, as recovery from the devastating 2005-2006 drought is anticipated to take a number of years. A total of 650,000 people in south Somalia will continue to require food aid through relief, social support and recovery actions. WFP will target most of its emergency assistance to areas of greater needs including Gedo, Bakool, Middle and Lower Juba. Recovery activities as well as support programmes to tuberculosis and in-patients of hospitals, orphanages, supplementary and therapeutic feeding centres will also be maintained across southern Somalia. WFP operations will also address the needs of 300,000 people in northeast and northwest Somalia through recovery and development programmes. In addition and given the high likelihood of increased insecurity, conflict and flood in 2007, an additional contingency of 175,000 people has been added to this plan. WFP main target population will include drought, flood and conflict affected households, IDPs, destitute and women-headed households, malnourished children and mothers.

Expected OutcomeIn line with UN MDGs and UNCT Somalia priorities and within its recovery programme, WFP will assist primary education and provide support to hospitals and Mother and Child Health (MCH) centres in Somalia. By the end of 2007, the emergency and regular school feeding programmes will cover more than 160 schools and about 45,000 students across the country. Another area of priority is capacity building of cooperating partners like the federal and regional authorities and local NGOs through skill transfer and technical trainings.

SummaryThe majority of the farming communities in Bu’ale and Sakow district practice dheshek cultivation. Dhesheks are natural depressions in the flood plain of the Juba River, seasonally flooded by river water, underground flow from the river, or by run-off from adjacent levee. The majority of the population in these two districts are riverine farming communities who live in hundreds of sedentary farming villages clustered along the dhesheks/Juba River. According to FAO/FSAU post Gu analysis report, Middle Juba region show deteriorating food and livelihood security since Gu ’05. About 70 % of the total population in this region are facing either Humanitarian Emergency (119,000) or Acute Food and Livelihood Crisis (42,000). Pastoral, agro-pastoral and riverine livelihoods are the worst affected population groups. In particular riverine communities remain the most affected population group, as they are experiencing sustained conditions of Humanitarian Emergency for a fourth consecutive year. There are a number of problems that affect the riverine communities in these districts. These include general poverty, lack of economic diversification, severe seasonal flooding, low river levels, and drought resulting in dried up dhesheks, and recurrent conflict and insecurity. Of these, seasonal floods result the most damaging destruction on the dheshek farmlands and create havoc in the livelihoods of the dheshek farmers every year especially during irregular rains According to FSAU and FEWS NET reports, the targeted population in this region has experienced chronic food insecurity and consistently high malnutrition rates.

ActivitiesTo overcome food insecurity and the major underlying cause of the persistent seasonal production failures due to the effects of irregular rains and subsequent seasonal floods, COSV/JCC intends to rehabilitate 100 major creek points in Bu’ale, Salagle and Sakow districts.

The proposed rehabilitation of large creeks along the river is expected to reduce the potential damages caused by the devastating seasonal floods which occur almost every year. Since it is impossible to prevent the flood with sand bags, COSV and JCC will use heavy machineries (bulldozer) in order to permanently close 100 large creeks each measuring not less than 200m. This activity will be implemented soon after the harvest when farming communities will have ample time to engage off farm labour activities.

Expected OutcomeRisk of seasonal flooding in Bu’ale and Saakow districts, Middle Juba region is reduced, livelihoods are protected.

Committees and other local stakeholdersProject Duration January 2007– March 2007Total Project Budget $257,900Funds Requested $257,900

SummaryThe loss of up to 80% of pack camels in the Sool Plateau during the four-year drought has been detrimental to the livelihood options of pastoralists in the region. In addition, the sustained debt burden, widespread destitution, exhausted pastoral coping mechanisms, and extreme livestock losses have added to the livelihood crisis. Despite early signs of rangeland recovery and high kidding levels among shoats, without the pack camel, the pastoralist is caught with a high debt burden to truck owners and poor shoat conditions due to concentration/mobility restrictions, and therefore unable to recover. The pack camel is the key to immediate and long-term livelihood recovery, enabling pastoralists to move out of crisis and saving pastoralists from a high debt burden due to transportation and water purchase costs. Horn Relief has already restored mobility to 740 pastoralists in its recent pack camel restocking project (UN OCHA), but notes that more is necessary in order to ensure the survival of those in livelihood crisis. The project supports the overall strategic priorities and sector objectives of the CAP: “Save lives and increase access to basic humanitarian services”: This project addresses the immediate

needs of those whose livelihoods cannot cope with repeated shocks. With options for mobility and animal and environment health limited, restocking this vital resource is key in helping lift people out of Acute Food and Livelihood Crisis (AFLC) in the area;

“Strengthen community capacity to cope with future shocks”: The project’s approach to bolstering livelihood options for pastoralists is proven to be effective in equipping communities to cope. Restocking camels restores pastoralists opportunities to continue livelihoods on the rangelands.

Activities Community mobilisation and establishing and training Community Relief Committees; Identify and enter into agreements with livestock traders and beneficiary households; Oversee voucher and pack camel distribution to beneficiaries; Monitoring, evaluating and reporting.

Expected Outcomes 700 pack camels provided to strained pastoralist households; Target households have decreased debt burden to truck owners; Target households’ livestock have increased access to water and pasture.

SummaryAs reported in FSAU’s 2006 Post Gu Analysis, “Southern Somalia continues to experience conditions of precarious food, nutrition and livelihood insecurity.” Horn Relief will address this situation with a project that diversifies livelihoods and improves dietary intake through the introduction and strengthening of poultry farming, beekeeping, and small-scale agriculture in the form of backyard gardens. Targeted livelihood skills training and basic trade inputs (e.g. poultry, equipment) continue to be needed for thousands in Afmadow and Badhaade (women-headed households in particular). This project will identify needs, select beneficiaries, and equip households with the options to improve livelihoods and prosperity in the area. A critical accompaniment will be capacity building of implementing partners to identify and help communities exploit opportunities for increased trade for income generation. This project addresses the immediate needs of those whose livelihoods cannot cope with repeated shocks by providing an opportunity for find alternative or diversification of livelihoods. It will also help strengthen community capacity to cope with future shocks.

Activities Conduct data collection and identify 151 beneficiary households in Afmadow district and 149 in

Badhade district; Conduct trainings in beekeeping, small-scale agricultural development, poultry farming, small business

management and marketing for beneficiary households; Conduct trainings in organisational management, leadership development, and community planning for

participating rural organisations; Distribute inputs for small-scale agriculture, poultry farming and beekeeping; Construct or rehabilitate shallow wells for irrigation support to livelihoods.

Expected Outcomes Expanded livelihood opportunities, and thus better resilience to shocks; Diversification of income for target population; Diversification of dietary intake leading to improved nutritional status of target population; Rural organisations better prepared to respond to emergencies and development challenges.

SummaryLessons learned from previous actions in Somalia shows that relatively large-scale actions to enhance livelihood opportunities and reduce vulnerability are feasible and sustainable by applying a model of community driven recovery with substantial beneficiary contribution. UNDP and WFP support to the communities and local administration to rehabilitate the Duduble flood relief canal and 65 km of secondary irrigation canals in Middle Shabelle has helped to irrigate 20,000 ha of land and sustainable resettlement of 5,000 IDPs. The community ownership of the rehabilitated assets with adequate capacity building will ensure the continued maintenance of the rehabilitated assets. The improved economic opportunities in the action areas being substantial and visible would also encourage voluntary relocation of IDPs who see growing economic opportunities in their home area.

Activities Capacity building to promote community driven recovery through desilting of 38 km long Sabbun canal (Middle Shabelle); 100 km of secondary irrigation canals and 1,000 mn cubic meter Balcad reservoir, repairs of river and canal embankments, and preservation of high impact range reserves for grazing during the dry season (two reserves per region, each reserve approx. 100km2), together with range rehabilitation (bunds and ridges); and de-silting of existing reservoirs (two per region) covering Bari, Nugaal, Togdheer, Sool and Sanaag.

Expected OutcomeReduced vulnerability and improved food security; increased availability of water for cultivation,; improved capacity of communities to manage and maintain rangelands, water resources; flood control and potential for resettlement of IDPs leading to an accelerated early economic recovery.

SummaryLivestock remains the economic mainstay of the pastoralists and agro-pastoralists of Southern Somalia. Recurrent severe prolonged droughts that have occurred in the recent years have threatened the livelihood of the pastoralists and agro-pastoralists of Gedo and Lower Juba regions. Recovery periods following severe drought are 5-10 years, during which poor animal health conditions persist. Experience shows that animals that receive treatments prior to or during the initial stages of drought develop better coping mechanism and recover faster when rains return. Alternatively, during severe drought, increased fodder production in the riverine areas can greatly offer alternative source of pasture to the livestock and alternative cash crop for peri-urban/poor agro-pastoralists. Poor segments of the populations in Southern Somalia cannot afford food and the malnutrition rate over the last five years averages 20%. The destitute and poor families can benefit from the project’s cash for work to support the rehabilitation of water points thus improving water availability for the livestock and enhanced holding capacity of the rehabilitated dams, pans and shallow wells

This action will allow livestock assets of families to recover and resume productivity, as well as increasing household purchasing ability.

Activities Mass treatment and vaccination of livestock; Fodder production in the riverine areas; Rehabilitation of selected water points; Water conservation through de-silting pans and dams, construction of berkads/underground tanks and

Project Duration January – September 2007Funds Requested $272,250

SummaryMany of the rivers in the region are seasonal and water flows only for a few days during the rains. Due to high land denudation through overgrazing and soil erosion there is high runoff that comes as flush floods. Such runoff has high energy that causes further land degradation through channel and bank erosion. This also results in gully erosion that spread into the surrounding area of the watercourse. The project will resuscitate rainfed farming activities for the areas of Tula-Barwaqo and Bananey at Garbaharey and Baled-Xaawo districts respectively.

Activities Intensive survey along selected watercourses; Design of flood diversion structures; Construction of flood diversion structures; Levelling of the flooding area; Management of flood waters in the cropped area; Design and construction of structures for flood water control and management in the cropping area.

Expected Outcomes Utilisation of runoff water that would otherwise drain into the river; Increase food availability and reduce dependence on famine relief food; Improve nutritional status of the community; Enhance environmental conservation by reducing river bank erosion and possibility of initiating land

rehabilitation.

Project Duration January - December 2007Total Budget $1,129,000Funds Requested for 2007 $879,000

SummaryThis component supports both the Protection Response Plan and Objectives 1, 2, and 3 the Protection cluster by advocating with and through traditional Somali leadership structures to promote the values, policies and capacities that contribute to the protection of people’s rights and the peaceful handling of conflicts.

Recognising and respecting the vital role of traditional governance systems and clan leaders in conflict resolution and peace building, DRC will work with traditional leaders at all levels to assist them in reforming the customary law, undertake conflict resolution and support international standards of human rights and good governance. Specific attention will be given to moving traditional justice systems closer to international standards of human rights and to address both the specific protection needs of IDPs, minorities and other vulnerable groups as well as promoting women’s rights.

The overall aim is to bring the traditional system closer together with the formalised system of justice (as supported by CAP Rule of Law projects including those supporting Human Rights and Access to Justice as well as Law enforcement.). This will occur through dialogue, and the promotion of the referral of rights abuses to the formal system, as well as via advocacy as reflected in the IASC advocacy strategy.

Activities Seminars and conferences; Advocacy/Public awareness campaigns; Publication of both research into traditional systems as well as proclamations of leaders Support to local actions and actors promoting human rights through traditional systems.

Expected Outcomes At the end of 2007 it is expected that 60% of traditional leaders in DRC’s target areas will have

participated in inter-clan dialogue and conflict resolution; Increased linkages reported between traditional justice systems and the formalised systems; Traditional systems show greater willingness to investigate rights violations.

Project Duration January – December 2007Total Project Budget $542,438Funds Requested $542,438

SummaryOver the past decades, numerous transit corridors have developed on the porous border between Ethiopia and Somalia, with Bossaso (port city in Puntland) being an established transit point. Every year, hundreds of migrants risk their lives in an attempt to make a perilous sea voyage from Bossaso towards the Gulf States. The poor institutional capacity of Puntland’s authorities to monitor its borders and to manage migration impacts negatively on the protection environment faced by migrants. Links will be made with UNHCR mandated activities on the protection of asylum seekers and refugees, and to UNDP’s early recovery work with law enforcement structures and the judiciary. Through the development of a comprehensive framework for migration management in North East Somalia/Puntland combined with targeted capacity building actions and provision of relevant equipment, this project will advocate for responsibility, accountability, and action of the Puntland authorities to manage migration while at the same time ensuring protection of migrant rights.

Activities Training targeted at relevant Puntland authorities in best international practices on migration

management, including relevant protection/human rights safeguards for the various categories of the migration flow transiting Puntland, involving UNDP, UNHCR, and other partners to stress the special needs of trafficking victims, unaccompanied minors, asylum seekers, refugees, IDPs, etc.;

Provision and training in the use of priority migration management tools (such as document examination equipment);

Development of a border procedures manual with Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs) of best practices in migration management, with operational responses tailored to the specific protection needs of women, children, minorities, and those living with HIV/AIDS;

SummaryOver the last year, the plight of migrants and thin NE Somalia and their need of protection has been widely documented. There is an urgent need to develop responses that effectively uphold the human rights of this migrant population. Informing migrants, the general public, civil society, and local authorities on migrants’ rights constitutes part of securing these rights in practice. By means of a comprehensive awareness raising and advocacy campaign consisting of a series of inter-related informational components and open dialogue with relevant authorities and other local actors, this project will advocate for the rights of migrants in this region, and enhance knowledge of the increased vulnerability of migrants to exploitation, abuse, and other rights violations . This proposal complements the IOM Migration Management project, leading to increased action through partnership under the Protection Cluster, particularly with UNHCR for the protection and assistance of asylum seekers and refugees, and with UNDP whose capacity building activities include authorities that will benefit from this particular project.

Activities Conduct a pre-campaign survey of migrant populations, the general public, and local authorities to

assess the level of awareness on rights of migrant populations and their specific vulnerabilities; Develop an awareness raising strategy including targeted at migrant populations, the general public

including risk groups, civil society, and authorities; Conduct informal, community-level awareness raising sessions within the migrant populations,

providing information on migrants’ rights information on referrals for assistance, and presenting visual material on dangers and risks involved in human smuggling;

Design and produce radio programmes on migrants’ rights, their vulnerabilities, and guidance on how to provide assistance to migrants in need of protection, targeting the general public;

Raise awareness of the general public by town meetings and discussions with traditional leaders; Organise stakeholder meetings with relevant local authorities and civil society representatives to

strengthen the prevention of and response to violations of migrants’ human rights; Conduct post-campaign assessment to measure impact of information-components implemented.

SummaryUnder objective one within the Protection Response Plan, which focuses on the prevention of human rights violations, the project supports the establishment of security in north east and north west Somalia through a cohesive approach to reducing the accidents and incidents causing death and injury to humans and livestock from landmines and ERW. This supports the ability of communities to engage in rehabilitation and early recovery efforts. The project’s activities will alleviate suffering from loss of life, limb and livestock and increase access to basic humanitarian services (access to water), as well as enhancing the physical protection of the communities.

ActivitiesFollowing from objectives two and three of the Protection Response Plan, the main activities under the project are will focus on developing and strengthening the indigenous capacity in both regions. Other important components will be designed to collect data, plan and coordinate, and record clearance activities ensuring that priority areas are targeted and are in concert with post-clearance planned activities that assist in early recovery, and to carry out emergency response to landmine and ERW situations for all members of the community, including international organisations.

Expected OutcomeTwo Government Mine Action Coordination Centres (MACs) and Six Police EOD Teams are responsive to the needs of the community for mine action and ERW support. The MACs and EOD teams are integrated into protection and early recovery activities and processes and ensure that these activities can be carried out in a safe and secure environment.

SummaryIn support of the re-establishment and strengthening of the judiciary, emphasis will be placed on increasing access to justice and the quality of justice dispensation in Central South, also taking into account the durable solutions of Somali refugees in Kenya. Both duty bearers and duty holders will benefit from advocacy activities and training of judiciary staff in Central South. The lack of trained lawyers and judiciary personnel greatly favours the emergence of alternative justice systems, for which collaboration with key protection partners, such as DRC, is important to ensure a comprehensive, all-inclusive approach to access to justice. Dedicated efforts are required to train judiciary, including strategic support for the custodial corps. This proposal also foresees an expansion of the legal aid pilots in the North for strengthened legal awareness and increased legal access for the displaced and vulnerable host communities. Through the joint UNDP-UNICEF programme, efforts initiated in 2006 will continue to ensure the protection and access to justice and security for vulnerable children and youth, and to build the capacity of officials. The project covers Somalia, as well as cross-border issues through NRC for Information Counselling and legal Assistance (ICLA) activities for returnees and refugees. It will also include North and Central South, with specific links to judiciary support activities in Bay Bakol areas, where nascent governance structures have emerged and covered under the area based programme. The activities will be based on humanitarian priorities in other less stable areas.

Activities Expansion of legal clinic to Central South and Legal Centre in Puntland to increase access to justice for

vulnerable groups, including child victims, witnesses and offenders; Provide paralegal training to traditional problem solvers, with a view to strengthening justice processes

in rural and remote areas; Training for Custodial Corps in basic human rights standards of care and procedures for detainees and

Somalia Implementing Partners Local authorities, local and international NGOs and UN AgenciesProject Duration January – December 2007Total Project Budget $490,000Funds Requested for 2007 $390,000

SummaryThe mean prevalence rate for HIV/AIDS amongst the Somali population is 0,9%, just below epidemic levels. This creates space for preventing a HIV/AIDS epidemic from emerging. A study by WHO found that pregnant women aged 18-24, have the highest HIV prevalence rate of all groups in Somalia, and that HIV prevalence is highest among young people. This indicates that young people are the most vulnerable groups to strategically target for HIV/AIDS prevention. Still, information about HIV/AIDS and about existing services is not available for young people in Somalia, especially not in times of emergencies, and in temporarily settlements for IDPs. The aim of this project is therefore to ensure that they have equitable access to HIV/AIDS information - and existing services.

This focused HIV/AIDS action is a recognised need by the members of the Protection Cluster and falls under the objectives outlined in the Protection Response Plan, HIV/AIDS is of primary concern with various initiatives focused on supporting ongoing HIV/AIDS activities, particularly through, but not limited to (1) protection monitoring of violations against those living with or affected by HIV/AIDS, (2) community mobilisation activities that promote community action on behalf of at-risk groups, particularly within IDP settings in South/Central Somalia and (3) advocacy strategies that utilise existing protection data to combat stigmatisation and violations against individuals and vulnerable groups and responsible relevant authorities and leaders to redress wrongs and to take the lead on behavioural change. Therefore, there are links with other related and complementary protection proposals led by DRC, IOM, UNDP, UNICEF and UNIFEM.

Activities Building capacity of Youth Peer Educators and youth organisations on how to inform young people

about HIV/AIDS and available services; Up-dating the peer educators’ HIV/AIDS training manual and develop culturally sensitive Information,

SummaryIn 2005, the Joint IDP Strategy for Somalia was adopted by the humanitarian community, with three key objectives focused on protection and durable solutions for IDPs and other vulnerable groups. With the IASC Somalia established and application of the cluster approach in Somalia in 2006, UNHCR is now the Protection Cluster Chair along with OCHA. To fulfil the CAP 2007’s strategic objectives, particularly re: IDPs, UNHCR must maintain a lead role within the humanitarian community. To ensure the execution of the Protection Response Plan UNHCR is required to sustain quality accountable and consistent capacity, in coordination and technical expertise. This proposal supports this necessary foundation, upon which ongoing and planned protection initiatives can be rooted and inter-cluster relationship fomented. The IASC Somalia enters 2007 with improved harmonisation across the clusters and will focus on joint programming with a rights-based approach. UNHCR will lead the Protection Cluster to participate in Integrated Response Plans for IDPs, to maximise protection resources and outcomes, with a focus on durable solutions.

Activities Coordination of and technical support to protection and other cluster partners for the implementation of

the Protection Response Plan and the fulfilment of the CAP 2007 Strategic Priorities, particularly regarding displaced populations, women, children and minorities;

Enhancement of key protection partnerships and expansion of further strategic partnerships, in particular with local and INGOs, predominantly in South/Central Somalia, leading to greater impact on operationality, identification of gaps, resource mobilisation, advocacy;

Implementing Partners Coalition for Grassroots Women Organizations (COGWO), IIDA Women’s Development Organisation, Religious and secular leaders, local media houses.


Summary The impact of droughts and conflicts on livelihoods, availability of and access to food and other resources, affects particularly the vulnerability of women and girls, exposing them to increased risk of sexual violence and exploitation and of HIV transmission. Resource scarcity also creates tensions in the home which heightens the risks of domestic violence. Additionally, women in emergency situations in Central South Zone lack access to information about HIV prevention, care and support and to basic services. This is particularly true for female IDPs, female headed households, widows, adolescent girls, women living with or affected by HIV. This focused HIV/AIDS action is a recognised need by the members of the Protection Cluster and falls under the objectives outlined in the Protection Response Plan, HIV/AIDS is of primary concern with various initiatives focused on supporting ongoing HIV/AIDS activities, particularly through, but not limited to (1) protection monitoring of violations against those living with or affected by HIV/AIDS, (2) community mobilisation activities that promote community action on behalf of at-risk groups, particularly within IDP settings and (3) advocacy strategies that utilise existing protection data to combat stigmatisation and violations against individuals and vulnerable groups and empower relevant authorities and leaders to redress wrongs and to take the lead on behavioural change. Therefore, there are links with other related and complementary protection proposals led by DRC, IOM, UNDP, UNICEF and UNIFEM.

Activities Supporting women peer education and outreach activities to reduce risk and vulnerabilities related to

HIV among especially vulnerable women; Provide access to information on HIV prevention, care and support to IDPs and host communities,

Summary Women’s risk and vulnerabilities to HIV/AIDS pose a risk factor to early recovery efforts. In Somalia, they also play a critical role in efforts in reducing of transmissions and alleviating the impact of HIV. Yet there is a dearth of targeted actions for vulnerable women to have access to HIV prevention, care and support, and where available treatment, as well as to participate in the response to HIV. Female IDPs and irregular migrants, women living in rural areas, female-headed households, widows and women living with or who are affected by HIV are at particularly high risk of infection and in need of protection. The Protection Cluster recognises the need for this HIV/AIDS action, which falls under the objectives outlined in the Protection Response Plan, HIV/AIDS is of primary concern with various initiatives focused on supporting ongoing HIV/AIDS activities, particularly through, but not limited to: Protection monitoring of violations against those living with or affected by HIV/AIDS; Community mobilisation activities that promote community action on behalf of at-risk groups,

particularly within IDP settings; Advocacy strategies that utilise existing protection data to combat stigmatisation and violations against

individuals and vulnerable groups and sensitise relevant authorities and leaders to redress wrongs and to take the lead on behavioural change.

Therefore, there are links with related and complementary protection proposals by DRC, IOM, UNDP, UNICEF and UNIFEM.

Activities Providing greater access to information and life skills development for HIV prevention, care and support

among vulnerable women, especially among female IDPs and migrants, women living in rural areas, female headed households, widows, women living with/affected by HIV;

Supporting women to women peer education and outreach activities on HIV/AIDS; Train and mobilise migrant women to assist in delivery of “migrant-friendly” MCH services; Engaging influential religious and secular leaders in the HIV response; Developing referral mechanisms to social and health services for the IDPs and other migrants; Using a mix of communication strategies, channels and materials; Addressing strategic data and information gaps by monitoring, evaluating and documenting lessons

learned, making links to protection data management systems.

Expected Outcomes A critical mass of women in five regions in North East and North West Somalia have access to

information and services on HIV prevention, care and support, including sexual violence and abuse prevention and response;

Religious, secular leaders and service providers are providing integrated HIV prevention, care and support as part of the early recovery efforts;

Lessons learned are documented and widely shared.

relevant Ministries to monitor, report and strengthen response to prevent and respond to SGBV;

Improve access and referrals to relevant services and support for SGBV survivors.

Beneficiaries TOTAL: 80,000 women and girls in IDPs settlements in Somalia South Central zone in particular.

Implementing Partners Relevant line Ministries, local NGOs and women’s networks. Project Duration January – December 2007Total Project Cost $1,535,000Funds Requested for 2007 $1,335,000

SummaryWomen and young girls in IDP settlements in South/Central Somalia are vulnerable to SGBV and HIV infections due to insecurity, displacement, deeply entrenched social and cultural perceptions. They have little access to basic reproductive health services. UNIFEM plays a leadership role in mainstreaming gender within the Protection Cluster, the Somali Joint Needs Assessment, management of the UN Trust Fund on Violence against Women and Co-chairing of the Gender and Human Rights Working Group of the Somali Support Centre. UNFPA plays a role in strengthening the reproductive health services in IDP settings. UNICEF has a comprehensive field presence and has prioritised community level prevention and response of Gender-Based Violence (GBV). This project falls within the scope of the IASC Guidelines on Gender and Humanitarian Assistance and objectives spelt out in 2007 CAP for Somalia, Integrated Response Plan for IDPs and Early Recovery plans. Early recovery measures include advocacy for policies and legislation that are responsive to populations made vulnerable to SGBV and HIV/AIDS. The project objective will be met through collaborative effort for completion of the activities listed below, by harmonising methodologies and specific actions and by utilising a one-voice approach.

Activities Systematic and confidential documentation and dissemination of reported cases of SGBV among IDPS

to protection monitoring networks and relevant authorities; Capacity building of health providers, local NGOs, women’s networks and relevant Ministries on SGBV

and HIV/AIDS among IDPs; Promoting access to reproductive health services and establishing a referral system for SGBV at

community level; Mobilise/strengthen community-based response to support SGBV survivors mainly in IDP areas.

Expected Outcomes Stronger and sustained national Government action to turn commitments to ending SGBV and

preventing HIV vulnerabilities among IDPs into action; Increased capacity of health providers, local NGOs women networks and relevant Ministries to press

for implementation and monitor accountability on ending Violence against Women and prevention of HIV/AIDS among IDPs;

Improved access to reproductive health and psychosocial services; Development of common strategies to protect survivors of SGBV; Established and functioning community based support systems and ‘watch’ mechanisms that track the

extent of SGBV among IDPs.

humanitarian space and the improvement of the protective environment for vulnerable groups (displaced, women, children and minorities) particularly in South Central Somalia;

To provide protection-focused capacity building for the relevant local actors responsible for upholding the rights of and protection for the displaced and other vulnerable populations.

Beneficiaries IDPs, returnees, refugees, women and children, media institutions and civil society organisations at large.

Implementing Partners National Authorities, Somali Media, INGOs, LNGOs and UN Agencies. Project Duration January - December 2007Funds Requested for 2007 $189,000

SummaryThe IASC Advocacy Strategy and the Protection ToT Module was developed in 2006 and are designed with activities that address all four objectives of the CAP 2007 Protection Response Plan. Also, it is clear that protection monitoring and response mechanisms can only function effectively, through complementary advocacy and capacity building activities, which support the development of true protection partnerships amongst stakeholders. With the IASC Advocacy Strategy, the humanitarian community will campaign strongly and consistently on protection matters with relevant authorities and members of civil society. Also, through capacity building measures including the Protection ToT, greater understanding of protection and human rights will improve conditions for greater local engagement in protection response. Advocacy and capacity building are aspects of the Protection Response Plan that are inextricably linked to all protection activities, ongoing and planned, and they consist of activities that go beyond the Protection Cluster—with effects that can lead to greater humanitarian space and better opportunities for coordinated response.

Activities Development of tailored advocacy strategies to tackle identified protection concerns, including IDP

rights, migration management, children’s rights, women’s rights and SGBV, in such locations as Mogadishu, Baidoa, Kismayo, Galkayo, Bosaso and Hargeisa;

Training and capacity building activities designed for authorities, community leaders and civil society, including local human rights defenders and CBOs, particularly regarding displaced populations, women, children and minorities throughout Somalia;

Media Training on protection, human rights and media ethics for improved rights-based reporting; Support existing protection initiatives, such protection monitoring, IDP Profiling, population movement

tracking and community mobilisation activities.

Expected Outcomes Improved communication/media standards to provide ethical information on Protection issues; Enhanced culture of care and support to decrease stigma and discrimination against marginalized

groups and strengthen community mobilisation efforts, to identify and address protection issues; Increased prevention of and response to rights abuses through the cooperation of authorities, religious

leaders, civil society and the media by encouraging the development of a peaceful society through well informed individual and collective behavioural change.

situation in Somalia for protection and assistance; To improve the knowledge on the extent and patterns of displaced

populations and their exposure to protection risks; To contribute to the design of programmes to better meet basic

needs and address underlying protection problems for the development of durable solutions.

SummaryIDP Profiling is first of all a protection tool. Developed at the global level following the worldwide recognition that the greatest “protection gap” relates to IDPs, the initial guidelines were produced under the leadership of the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) of the NRC. Somalia is a country that was selected in 2006 to be a pilot country for the testing of the initiative, for which Phase I, a desk review, was completed and provided the necessary elements for a field exercises to begin in a coordinated, phased approach: Phase II (November 2006 – February 2007), Phase III (April – July 2007) and Phase IV (September – December 2007). With the overall direction of the IASC Somalia and direct supervision by the Protection and IDP Working Group, the field exercises will begin with DRC serving as the administrating organisation with UNHCR supporting the operational data management needs of the project.

Activities Promotion by the current IDP Profiling partners for the engagement (buy-in) of other actors, especially

local, for their involvement in the exercises and the planned response to follow; Collaborative development and refinement of tools, guidelines, and a data management system; Joint field exercises undertaken under each phase in the various locations identified as priorities by the

humanitarian community in partnership with other key local actors; Preservation of links between IDP Profiling and other protection initiatives (i.e. Protection Monitoring,

Community Mobilisation, Population Movement Tracking), with respect to the processes themselves and with respect to the analysis of the results.

Expected Outcomes Completion of planned Phases II-IV with at least twice the number of agencies and organisations

involved at the beginning of Phase II; Through effective data management, IDP Profiling results are used to develop Integrated Response

Plans for specific IDP locations, for prompt, well-targeted actions in protection and toward durable solutions by the humanitarian community and in concert with local authorities;

The humanitarian community is utilising protection data and analysis from IDP Profiling for enhanced operational planning for joint programming and to carry out activities within the IASC Advocacy Strategy inside Somalia and with the international community;

There is active involvement of the displaced in the IDP Profiling exercises, and afterwards, the IDP communities themselves engage more proactively in the design of the Integrated Response Plans, particular with respect to protection and the search for durable solutions.

SummaryImprovement in the protection of civilians, particularly displaced populations, against conflict-related violence and human rights violations is a key priority for the humanitarian community. The basis for any protection action is accurate and timely information on the various violations concerned, which then require redress and to establish systematic patterns. Also, the Joint IDP Strategy urges that “early-warning” mechanisms, such as protection monitoring, including population movement tracking, need further development and proper data management for programming actions that will assist to prevent and/or alleviate abuse and will ensure the rights of the civilian population. Strong links are needed with other initiatives, including IDP Profiling and Protection Training of Trainers. There is also a need to follow-up on the UN Security Council’s Resolutions on Children Affected by Armed Conflict—i.e., Resolution 1612 (2005), recommending the systematic monitoring and reporting on the impact of conflict on children.

Activities Mapping and capacity assessment of local partners in the field of human rights, protection and

SummaryThe differential impact of disaster on women and men, boys and girls is often overlooked in Humanitarian Response in the rush to provide assistance. The IASC Policy statement for the integration of a gender perspective in Humanitarian Assistance (1999), commits as priority the participation of both women and men in planning, designing and monitoring of all emergency programmes. UNFPA is the IASC Gender Focal Point on Gender at HQ level. In Somalia, UNIFEM plays a leadership role in mainstreaming gender in the work of the Protection Cluster, the Somali Joint Needs Assessment, management of the United Nations Trust Fund on Violence Against Women and Co-chairing of the Gender and Human Rights Working Group of the Somali Support Centre. The aim of this project is to ensure that specific needs of Somali women, men, boys and girls are met through consistent technical support to responding agencies and beneficiaries of humanitarian aid. The support to mainstream gender will be provided through the following clusters: access and security; food security and livelihoods; protection/human rights/rule of law; shelter; health; nutrition; water and sanitation; education; early recovery; HIV/AIDS; logistics and coordination.

Activities Promoting and supporting regular consultations with Somali women and girls through formal, joint or

parallel meetings/workshops in cluster actions; Promoting human right principles through training of the various actors, regular field visits, consultations

with various actors and advocacy initiatives; Establishing a gender information system that feed sex-disaggregate data and gender-specific

SummaryPotentially new displacements within Somalia as a consequence of flooding and other natural disasters as well as conflict will require quick shelter and Non-Food Item (NFI) relief actions.

While the conditions in IDP settlements shared by urban poor, returnees, migrants and others are generally appalling, the conditions of IDPs living in the compounds of public buildings, as is the case in Mogadishu, are by far the worst. In cooperation with other UN agencies such as UNHABITAT, UNICEF and NGO partners, the pilot project for improving living conditions in IDP settlements in Bossasso which is anchored in the UN IDP strategy for Somalia, will be replicated in other major towns of the country, starting in Northern Somalia. The projects are aiming to improve shelter, water supply, public lighting and other basic services. Existing settlement sites are re-planned to decrease the risk of fires and disease outbreaks, and solutions are explored to improve security of tenure. Meanwhile, projects have been developed for quick improvement of living conditions of IDPs in public buildings in the South, based on the information collected through IDP profiling. Plans will be drawn for assistance to those who will eventually face eviction from public buildings in Mogadishu and will need to move to alternative locations.

Activities Contingency planning, stock piling, provision of emergency shelter and NFIs; Selection of beneficiaries and community mobilisation; Re-organisation of existing settlement sites; Improvement of existing shelter and construction of temporary shelter; Provision of basic services such as sanitation, public lighting, roads, etc.; Negotiations with land owners and municipality on land donation and tenure.

Expected Outcomes NFIs and emergency shelter items provided to the newly displaced; Improved and safer layout of IDP settlements and improved basic services for IDPs; Provision of temporary shelter for the beneficiaries; Improved security of tenure for beneficiaries.

SummarySomalia is highly vulnerable to sudden natural disasters creating displacement and compounding human suffering within one of the world’s most difficult environments for child survival. In the last two years, Tsunami, flash floods and drought have displaced Somali families. At the same time, the continuing uncertain political situation and the proliferation of weapons (despite the long-standing UN arms embargo) means that armed conflicts are a continuous threat with civilian populations inevitably getting caught up between opposing factions. Over the years, UNICEF has demonstrated the ability to respond to such rapid response requirements in a timely, targeted manner, undertaking non-food emergency response through its wide network of implementing partners. In coordination with key UN partners including UNHCR, OCHA, WFP and local and international NGOs and local authorities, UNICEF will maintain the capacity to provide quick impact response for affected populations countrywide.

Activities Positioning of non-food relief supplies in strategic locations (UNICEF warehouses in all three zones of

Somalia); Rapid assessment followed by targeted distributions to most vulnerable populations and groups; Post-distribution monitoring.

Expected Outcome:Timely, relevant provision of essential household items for newly displaced families to reduce the effects of exposure and illness. Inputs will include blankets, plastic sheeting, jerry cans, soap, treated mosquito nets, cooking sets, etc.

SummaryIDP areas in Bosasso and other Somali towns are regularly struck by fire and disease outbreaks. As most IDPs reside on private land, forced evictions occur frequently. The UN with INGOs have developed an IDP Strategy for Somalia, which is piloted in Bosasso, fully deploying the Cluster approach in line with the UN-reforms. One of the identified needs is to improve living conditions of IDPs in existing settlement areas (as per objective 2 of the Cluster response of the CHAP 2007). Since late 2005, United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UNHABITAT), DRC and others, together with the municipality, work in Bosasso to improve living conditions of IDPs in various temporary settlement sites. Pilot projects aim to improve shelter conditions, access to sanitation, and other basic services (water, health and education), and enhance security (e.g. through public lighting). Existing settlement sites are re-planned to decrease the risk of fires and disease outbreaks, based on the needs indicated by IDP communities. Authorities, IDPs and ‘landowners’ develop agreements to clarify the rights and duties of all parties, protecting the IDPs from exploitation and forced evictions. The lessons learned from the pilot phase are used to significantly expand the scope and coverage area, enabling to address the chronic emergency of numerous IDPs in Somalia. A component is included for distribution of NFIs. Priority towns are Bosasso, Galkaio, Hargeisa, Burao, Mogadishu and Kismayo.

Activities Selection of temporary IDP settlements based on ongoing IDP profiles and development of community

action plans; Re-organisation of temporary settlement sites; Upgrading of existing shelter through the provision of locally produced shelter kits; Provision of basic services (sanitation, garbage collection, public lighting, temporary schools, etc.); Negotiations with land owners and municipality on rights and duties (incl. eviction procedures, rental

SummaryIDPs and other displaced in Somalia suffer from the lack of basic shelter and access to land and services in the areas where they have settled. Adequate shelter and security of tenure are key elements to ensure protection, sustainable integration with the host community and livelihood opportunities for IDPs. Recent surveys indicate that the majority of the displaced residing in temporary settlements prefers local integration. Providing access to land and protection from eviction limits the risk of further displacement and promotes early recovery. The UN IDP Strategy has put to the fore land sharing mechanisms which allow integrating land for the displaced. In this way urban services and infrastructure are shared with the host community. UNHABITAT has piloted the approach in Bosasso, Garowe and Hargeisa. The lessons learnt from the pilot shelter projects allow for a revision of the standards and the implementation strategy. Basic start-up units, enabling IDPs to resettle, will be further developed by the IDPs with direct support from the international community (ex. material provision, technical assistance). The revised strategy allows for cost reduction and ensures real contributions by the beneficiaries. Priority towns are Bosasso and Hargeisa, followed by Galkaio, Gardo, Berbera and Burao and major towns in the South, including Mogadishu, depending amongst others on accessibility and security.

Activities Securing of land as part of strategic urban development plans elaborated by UNHABITAT; Planning of the resettlement sites; Provision of basic services and infrastructure in collaboration with other agencies (ex. water, sanitation,

access roads, public light, etc.); Development of labour intensive production of local construction materials by IDPs; On-the-job training in construction skills; Shelter construction of 3,000 basic units.

Expected Outcomes Security of tenure for a significant amount of IDPs and urban poor provided; Access to sanitation facilities and urban services improved; Structured urban development enhanced; Security of tenure provided. Permanent basic shelter constructed where applicable.

SummaryMaternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) in Somalia is among the worst in the world; it is estimated to be around 1,600 per 100,000 live births. It is also well documented and proven that, surgical actions, skilled birth attendants and the availability of medical equipments and drugs reduce drastically the maternal mortality and morbidity. MMR is expected to be higher among the IDPs and other vulnerable populations due to lack of access to such services. This reproductive health project supports the overall strategic priorities of the Somali health sector, by saving lives of pregnant women, by improving access to, and utilisation of quality safe delivery - and EmOC services for women living in the IDP Camps and surrounding communities in South/Central Somalia.

Activities Establishing comprehensive Emergency Obstetric Centres in four hospitals in South/Central Somalia; Establishing Basic EmOC services in 12 MCH centres in selected sites in South/Central Somalia; Establishing sustainable EmOC referral system including transport, to reach out to IDPs and other

vulnerable groups; Raising community awareness and demand for access to, and utilisation of quality EmOC services; Building capacity of service provider (doctors, nurses, midwives, etc.) through technical support and

SummaryIn places where skilled birth attendants and emergency obstetric care are not available, an unplanned pregnancy can be fatal. Unsafe abortions are serious consequence resulting from unwanted pregnancies. Families with already scarce resources, have great difficulties to cope with the needs of their babies and growing children. During a crisis, couples and especially women, need means to postpone pregnancy through family planning. These services are most often lacking in times of emergencies, especially in the remote areas and in temporarily settlements for IDPs. According to a recent survey carried out by Ethiopia, approximately 3% of Somali women have access to modern contraceptives, nearly all of them in the cities. There are virtually no family planning services in the countryside. This project aims at reducing the high number of death and illnesses resulting from complications of unsafe abortions and unwanted pregnancies, by ensuring that women among vulnerable groups in Somalia have access to quality family planning information and services.

ActivitiesConducting information campaigns about available family planning services targeting the most vulnerable populations, particularly women IDPs; Conducting rapid assessments to determine local needs and preferences for family planning; Providing basic family planning supplies to health facilities; Strengthening capacity of health care providers at all levels to promote the use of family planning

services and to increase the demand for safe, effective contraception; Supporting efforts of local and national authorities, and civil society to ensure couples have access to a

wide range of modern methods available of contraception.

Expected OutcomeThe expected outcome is a reduction of pregnancy-related deaths in Somalia, and the needs of vulnerable populations especially IDPs, for family planning services are met.

SummaryDue to the severe drought 2005/06 urgent humanitarian assistance is still required for some 1.4 million people in South/South Somalia and an additional 0.4 million IDPs. Since nutritional recovery takes time after a severe drought situation, the children are more exposed to infectious diseases and complications that will increase morbidity and mortality. Intensified health response to the large, dispersed population will consist of provision of expanded primary health care services to combat the main communicable diseases affecting the population, namely Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) and diarrhoeal diseases, as well as providing good case management of measles and adequate micronutrient supplementation to children U5 and women attending Antenatal Care (ANC) clinic. Therefore, the mains actions are: to strengthen and expand health emergency response through provision of basic primary health care services; and to improve all aspects of preparedness in the uncertain context of political upheaval and natural disasters.

Activities Provision of full supplies of medicines for health posts and Maternal Child health centres through

UNICEF and WHO; Support to mobile health teams in displaced communities by WHO and UNICEF; Provision of following

services through MCH Centres/Health posts and Community Health Worker (CHW) (Child Health Services–linkages plus service provision [EPI, ARI, Diarrhoea, Micronutrient Deficiencies, Nutrition Counselling, etc.] by UNICEF and partners; Antenatal Care, micronutrients) by UNICEF; Communicable Disease Control and essential health care services by WHO and partners; Training and supervision of the health care providers by WHO, UNICEF and partners; IEC by WHO/UNICEF;

SummaryIn Somalia, decades of ongoing conflict and natural disasters have undermined economic and social development. Latest estimated suggest that there are more than 400,000 internally displaced people living in all three zones of Somalia, South and central regions in particular. There is little accurate information on the progression of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Somalia, displaced people in particular. Al though displaced people are vulnerable to HIV infection, there is available data for IDPs. At about 1-2%, the adult HIV prevalence rate probably remains significantly lower than in the surrounding countries. However, countries that are experiencing complex emergencies, such as Somalia, commonly witness a rapid rise in new HIV infections. The Sero-surveillance of 2004 showed that several regions have HIV among ANC attendants above national average in the age group 15-24 years (the global indicator for incidence) Indeed, anecdotal evidence from several regions of Somalia suggests that HIV incidence rates are rising, especially among the most vulnerable sections of the population, such as IDPs, transport workers and sex workers. Furthermore, displaced people do not access to HIV/AIDS services and the demand for HIV testing is very high. By targeting major at-risk and bridge populations the project will slow down the progress of the epidemic through enhanced blood safety and VCT provision.

Activities Establish VCT centres in IDP camps; Provision of HIV kits for testing blood before transfusions; Train health care staff working in health facilities within IDP camps; Provide Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) drugs to target health facilities; Provision of HIV testing kits; Training of staff on VCT.

Expected Outcomes VCT services will be made available to vulnerable populations; Up-to-data on HIV and AIDS in

vulnerable populations will be available; Strengthening linkage between vulnerable populations to existing Anti-Retroviral (ARV) treatment

Targeted Beneficiaries Total: 350,000 persons including 70,000 Children U5 and 157,000 Women.

Implementing Partners Local health authorities, UNICEF, ACF, Child Survival Programme (CSP), Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)-Switzerland, SRCS.


SummaryNatural disasters such as drought, famine, lack of access to safe water and proper excreta disposal and some floods during rainy season in IDP camps in Northeast (namely around Bosasso, Gaalkacyo, Mogadishu and South Central zones) has resulted since 1994 in frequent outbreaks of diarrhoeal diseases especially cholera and bloody diarrhoea with a high case fatality rate (2.5–5%). The most affected group have been children in IDP camps. The lack of trained health workers and scarcity of resources had aggravated the situation. Furthermore, diseases are often not properly diagnosed due to lack of laboratory diagnostic services either in IDP camps or nearby health facilities. Since 2004, WHO/UNICEF and others partners in Puntland succeed in reducing the number of cholera cases and this success needs to be maintained and replicated in the South/South Zone. Moreover there is limited data on the incidence of other epidemic-prone diseases such as meningitis, viral hepatitis, and leishmaniasis. Despite some targeted programs, there are needs in terms of training of health workers, laboratory technicians as well as the organisation of campaigns for community awareness.

Activities Training of health workers on standard case management of diarrhoeal diseases and MCH health staff

in basic laboratory diagnostic techniques; Provision of a stock of essential emergency kits, supplies and rapid diagnostic test kits; Improvement of the early warning system and strengthening the surveillance system (sentinel sites)

including information gathering on priority communicable diseases; Supervision and quality control of laboratory activities; Development of health education messages and promotional campaigns on management of bloody

diarrhoea, including communities.

SummaryThe need for accurate health information for timely health actions cannot be overemphasised. UNICEF, WHO, FSAU and partners have developed a HIS, through the HIS Working Group of the Somalia Aid Coordination Body/Secretariat (SACB)/Somalia Support Secretariat (SSS), to collect a standardised set of routine data on morbidity, EPI, nutrition and reproductive health. In addition, there is a WHO-supported disease outbreak reporting system based upon Sentinel Surveillance Sites. However, these systems need strengthening to improve the quality of data, the timeliness of reporting and establishing data sharing protocols to strengthen emergency relief, early recovery projects as well as development programmes. This proposal aims to address this lack of support to the data collectors and recorders at the hospitals and MCH-clinics (the Sentinel Surveillance Sites). Moreover a standardised & validated inventory of existing healthcare facilities and human resources/health workers is required.

Activities Identification of minimum set of health data needed in situations of emergency relief, early recovery and

development; Set up assessment teams to identify stumbling blocks and specific needs of the country’s surveillance

reporting sites in collecting this information; Develop training materials that help staff of SSS and MCHs to collect data timely and accurately; Provide specific training and give any other support needed to overcome the most serious stumbling

blocks in the way of effective performance; An updated and validated database of the existing healthcare facilities (Public & Private), as the basis

of planning in terms of reconstruction, rehabilitation and right-sizing; An updated and validated database of health workers on which to base a medium and long term HR

emergency in South-Central Somalia and to give populations without fixed/permanent health care facilities access to health care

Beneficiaries Total: 110,000 persons, out of which 50% are IDPs and in the three zones of Somalia.

Implementing Partners UNICEF, International NGOs and local NGOs in coordination with health authorities.

Project Duration January – December 2007Funds Requested $437,844

SummaryDue to the long standing and worsening armed conflicts in parts of Somalia, especially in South-Central Somalia, large parts of the population don’t have access even to the most essential health services. Strategies to improve this situation are complicated by the nomadic life-style of the population as well as recent internal displacement and movement across the boarders between Somalia and neighbouring countries. In this setting "the mobile health care approach", which has already proven to be useful in other Horn of Africa countries, provides life-saving health services. This proposal will complement and strengthen the existing emergency health response activities being provided by health sector partners.

ActivitiesThe funds will be used to: Strengthen human resources through training and recruitment of health workers; Improve communications and logistics needed on the ground to provide mobile health services; Monitor and supervise emergency health activities; Essential drugs and supplies for mobile healthcare will be provided in collaboration with UNICEF.

Delivery of essential services will be implemented through partnership with international and local NGOs.

Expected Outcomes Reduced morbidity and mortality in target areas; Improved health status of the target populations; Referral chain between primary and secondary healthcare; Health Education/Promotion.

Zoonotic diseases; To raise the public awareness and to inform veterinary auxiliaries

and animal caretakers of zoonotic diseases on how to prevent them; To minimise the risk from contact with infected animals.

Targeted Beneficiaries Total: 500,000 persons, out of which 100,000 children U5 and 220,000 women.

Implementing Partners Local health authorities, UNICEF, ACF, CSP, MSF-Switzerland and SRCS.


SummaryFor the past fifteen years, livestock have not gotten regular veterinary services due to the absence of Governmental institution and lack of resources. Livestock faced problems such as: uncontrolled management system, very poor growth rates and prevailing diseases, and in most cases, animals were deteriorating because of lack of treatment and vaccination. Therefore, livestock production has decreased because of morbidity and mortality. Knowing that many bacterial and viral diseases are increasing and in order to control and prevent outbreaks, steps must be taken steps to fight against these diseases. The major prevailing diseases are bacterial (anthrax, brucellosis, TB, leptospirosis and tetanus), viral (rift valley fever, rabies and Q fever) and rickettsial diseases. It is necessary to provide trainings on public health awareness to veterinary auxiliaries, animal caretakers and slaughterhouse owners, in order to reduce the danger of zoonoses, which are transmitted from animal to man through many ways such as, meat, milk, secretions and excretions. These are factors that need to be considered in order to curb down the transmission of zoonoses and to prevent and or reduce their burden on the community and on the economy in general. Therefore, WHO would like to implement training activities on zoonotic diseases in order to build up the capacity of Somali Animal health workers and public health officers.

Activities Training of health workers on standard case management on zootomic diseases; Provision of a stock of essential drugs and supplies for zoonotic diseases; Improvement of the early warning system and establishing zoonotic surveillance system (sentinel sites)

including information gathering on priority communicable diseases; Development of health education messages and promotional campaigns on management and

prevention of zoonotic diseases.

Expected Outcomes Reduction of case fatality rates of main zoonotic diseases; Provide proper meat and animal products to the community; Protect workers and dealers from disease hazardous which may be transmitted from animal to human; Upgrade veterinary professional activities; Selection of good animals fit for human consumption; Early warning system functioning for early detection and prompt response.

SummaryThe civil war in Somalia, large scale civilian death and injury, massive destruction in towns and cities, the collapse of the state and economic social systems, displacement and relocation of the population and the enormity of reconstruction tasks have clearly left their mark on the psychological well being of the population. Families and individuals, including war widows, former combatants, orphans and disabled, are further affected by the impact of khat abuse and addiction, poverty and broad social dislocation. In these circumstances the prevalence of psychological trauma and stress has a tendancy to spread as known experiences in similarly war-torn societies would suggest it. Mental health is a growing health problem, which has not received due attention. The current service delivery by NGO-run health institutions is inadequate both in terms of coverage and quality of care.

Activities Develop information materials on the impact of khat abuse on mentally affected persons and create

awareness at all levels in society for mental health conditions; Training needs of health and social workers caretakers on common mental health problems; Procurement of supplies for the reference mental health hospital in Somalia; Support of pilot community-based treatment approach for mentally affected group; Develop partnership with international and national NGOs, and local authorities for improved

management of mental health conditions; Establish sentinel sites for mental heath case management.

Expected Outcomes Assessment of the mental health problems faced by the conflict affected population; Better case Assessment of services available and development of strategy involving communities

essential services offered include management of mental health conditions; Trained social/health worker on management and basic counselling of mental patients.

SummaryOne of the big challenges in reaching those who need and require certain messages and information is how to package and disseminate that information. In Somalia, the adult literacy rate is quite low hence oral communication is widely used. This project aims at passing health education and environmental messages and information to families and community through their children on what they have learnt and experienced in schools through co-curricular approach (using children’s magazines, pupil activity books and teacher guides, in addition to board games). Initially the action will focus on places with high concentration of IDPs especially in Mogadishu and other parts of Central and South Somalia. This project will support and augment existing health education actions and thus increase the likelihood of behaviour change.

Activities To undertake a baseline health and environmental knowledge study in selected areas; To develop a range of co-curricular health and environmental teaching and learning materials; To organise training of teachers in 50 primary schools on use of the teaching and learning materials; To conduct an evaluation of the pilot project also targeting the community awareness of the intended

messages and information.

Expected Outcomes School based health education package introduced to about 5,000 pupils in at least 50 primary schools; A range of health and environmental teaching and learning materials developed; Preventative health messages passed to all families of school children participating in the project; Improved health of beneficiary population.

Beneficiaries Vulnerable populations recovering from effects of the drought in South and Central Somalia (1.4 million people including approximately 60,000 malnourished children) and vulnerable IDPs (0.4 million) in Somalia.

Implementing Partners Health and nutrition partners in Somalia, particularly in South & Central Somalia.

Project Duration January – December 2007Funds Requested $6,135,526

SummaryThe nutrition surveillance activities, in most parts of South and Central Somalia, record unacceptable acute malnutrition of 15% and above. The nutrition situation is anticipated to be of concern in the immediate future as the recovery from the drought impact takes place. The underlying causes of malnutrition continue undermine the probable nutrition recovery process. Insecurity limits humanitarian access in the affected areas and it is causing internal population displacements. About 60,000 children are estimated to be malnourished, and at risk of death, in the most affected regions. Priority nutrition programme activities for 2007 and beyond aim at averting excess mortality and to promote the populations nutrition well being. The programmes include expansion of the life saving selective feeding programmes as well as addressing the underlying causes of malnutrition. Community based therapeutic care programmes will be supported and community-based organisations’ potential to provide nutrition response in insecure areas will be explored. Stronger links between the emergency nutrition actions and other public nutrition and health strategies will be fostered to positively influence behavioural practices. Closer integration with water and sanitation, livelihood promotion and health programmes will enhance resilience of the currently vulnerable populations. Nutrition surveillance will continue to provide the nutrition situation update of the emergency affected areas. Field level nutrition response coordination and technical support will be strengthened under the cluster approach.

Activities Technical support and capacity improvement of the selective feeding implementing agencies; Support the current routine and emergency nutrition response activities and advocate for integration of

complementary programmes including food security and livelihood promotion projects, comprehensive public health services, water and sanitation;

Emergency nutrition supply provision and support to the warehousing facilities; Improve intra-cluster coordination and inter sectoral programme coordination on emergency response; Identify and support the community based organisations and Somali nationals with potential to improve

nutrition response coverage in both accessible and inaccessible areas.

Expected Outcomes Excess mortality associated with malnutrition will be averted; In-country capacity on the prevention and management of acute malnutrition will be improved; Effort addressing the underlying causes of malnutrition will be made.

Implementing Partners HIRDA and CDCs.Project Duration January - December 2007Funds Requested $635,000

SummaryDue to the chronic conflict in Somalia, improving access to water and environmental sanitation will remain a crucial factor in mitigating this complicated scenario. The genesis of the problem lies in competition around scarce water supply. The current poor ranking of Central South Zone in terms of nutrition is partly related to water supply and sanitation services. Vulnerable communities continue to suffer and even die from water related diseases that could be easily prevented.

Activities Increase of safe and clean water supply through rehabilitation of shallow wells, water harvesting

structures and provision of water storage facilities; Strengthen local capacity of civil society partners and community in social mobilisations on hygiene and

SummaryThe humanitarian situation in Somalia has been exacerbated in the past year due to the regular outbreaks of conflicts and the succession of natural and man-made disasters that affect the country. Inadequate water services and lack of sanitation in the whole of Somalia has resulted in high levels of malnutrition and mortality among children (mostly U5) and adults in IDPs and some vulnerable communities. During the drought response in 2006, UNICEF was able to save lives through the provision of safe drinking water and sanitation to the drought affected population. UNICEF’s strategy in emergency response is to improve the well-being of affected women and children in Somalia through mobilising rapid response in providing safe water and basic sanitation. UNICEF plans to achieve this through partnerships with international and local NGOs reaching out to the people living in the areas most in need. Capacity building of local partners will be central in the response focus.

ActivitiesThis project aims at providing rapid emergency water and sanitation response to people experiencing a humanitarian emergency and people living in poor conditions like IDPs through: Provide water trucking services when no other solutions are available; Rehabilitate and diversify water sources and protect as appropriate; Provide basic sanitation and hygiene services; Chlorinate water points in cholera prone areas; Carry out regular monitoring and evaluation.

In support of these activities direct programme support costs for air and ground transport, security, office administration and support staff have been included.

Expected OutcomeThe proposed action is intended to provide increased and improved access to safe drinking water to the most vulnerable population in the most affected areas in Somalia in particular.

Implementing Partners Private sector, Local Authorities, CBOs. Project Duration January-December 2007 Funds Requested $59,890

Summary

Strategic priorities and sector objectivesSomalia health indicators are some of the lowest in the world, with infant mortality rate at 132/1,000, while the U5 Mortality rate is 224/1,000. Some of the main causes of such high morbidity and mortality are diarrhoea, cholera, typhoid, and other water-borne diseases which could be prevented by simple and low cost disinfections such as using chlorine tablets, Solar Disinfection and using Limon salt or Sodium Hypochlorite for disinfections. Chlorination is one of the best mean of water disinfections. One form of chlorine is Sodium Hypochlorite that comes in liquid form and could be easily produced in Somalia. To reduce Sodium Hypochlorite pure salt, clean water and a source of power are needed. Such disinfectant is widely used in small communities in USA and Europe. The liquid will be produced as pilot plan in Mogadishu and later in each zone and bottled in bottles of 0.5 and 0 .75 litres. The bottles will be labelled and instructions for the right utilisation of the disinfectant will be given. Such practice will pose no risk to householders and it can protect the Somali population from water-related diseases, which account for up to 75% of all morbidity.

Activities Assess the market and private sector capacity to produce Sodium Hypochlorite and plastic bottles and

labels in Mogadishu city; Establish production units in Mogadishu to produce the sodium hypochlorite, bottles, caps and labels; Carry out multimedia awareness campaign.

SummarySomalia is not only facing low coverage in potable water but also deterioration of water quality and absence of water quality monitoring. Action due to contamination is seldom taken due to weak enforcement of laws or regulations and lack of the capacity and expertise in the field of water quality. Protection and maintenance of water supply sources are the first priorities followed by health education messages. Reliable water supply will reduce the incidence of cholera, typhoid, giardia, amoeba, and diarrhoea that are considered some of the main causes of morbidity and mortality among the Somalia population.

Activities Assess the capacity of labs and the level of skills and expertise of the staff among NGOs, and local

institutions; Provide the required water testing equipment; Carryout training for sanitary inspection of water resources; Improve water quality and waste disposal systems in affected/high-risk areas; Water quality monitoring and control; Develop leaflet on water disinfection and home-made/use of ORS at house-hold level; Carry out sanitary surveillance for all water sources in risk of contamination.

Beneficiaries All population of Somalia, particularly 50% children. Implementing Partners Local Authorities, CBOs, local and International NGOsProject Duration January-December 2007 Funds Requested $110,710

SummaryThe Public Health Laboratory in Kenya has confirmed the presence of Vibrio cholera in samples taken from cases in Somalia hospitals on many occasions. The WHO surveillance system reveals that the highest rate among all disease morbidity is watery diarrhoea and bloody diarrhoea. The risk of a water-borne epidemic is very high because of current security problems and lack of safe water. Protection and maintenance of the water supply sources is the first high priority followed by health education messages disseminated in communities. Cholera is spread by contaminated water and food. Sudden large outbreaks are usually caused by a contaminated water supply. In highly endemic areas like Somalia, it is mainly a disease of young children. Vibrio cholera is often found in the aquatic environment and is part of the normal flora of brackish water and estuaries.

Activities Prioritise areas of high risk and mobilise resources for cholera control programs; Suggest methods/improve water quality and waste disposal systems in affected areas or that have the

potential to be affected; Establish programs to improve water quality and wastewater disposal systems in high-risk areas; Provide the requirements for water quality monitoring and control; Develop pamphlet on water disinfection and home-made/use of ORS at household level; Carry out sanitary surveillance for all water sources in risk of contamination.

There is no single borehole or other permanent water source in the vast pastoral rangeland of Middle Juba Region especially between the Juba River and the Kenyan border, which can be estimated around 40,000 Km 2. The water shortage in the hinterland usually prompts population movement into riverine areas where incidence of resource-based conflict between herder and farmers are common. Salagle town with a population of about 20,000 populations were destroyed by a fire late last year. About 70% of the town where destroyed which left over 2,000 HH (18,000 people) homeless. The fire has deteriorated the situation of the already drought affected communities. The proposed project therefore aims at improving water for human in the draught affected areas. It also aims at minimise the waterborne diseases resulted by the poor sanitation due to loss of toilets in Salagle town. Furthermore, the project will create employment opportunity for the urban poor by contracting slaughter house for Salagle town.

Activities Dig five hand-dug wells, deepen five wells and rehabilitate ten communal water catchments in the

pastoral and agro pastoral villages in Middle Juba Region affected by the drought; Improve the sanitation condition/minimise water borne diseases in Salagle town by digging 15 toilets

and, five refuse pits; Distribute 50 wheelbarrows, 100 forks and 100 spades to Salagle residence to sustain the community-

based sanitation program for the town; Trainings and mobilisation will be made on hygiene education among the target population.

Expected OutcomeThe rehabilitation of the water catchments and the hand-dug wells will increase availability and access to water for women and children in drought affected areas. The improved sanitation should minimise the waterborne diseases.

SummaryThe disabled persons are among the most vulnerable in the Somalia and the visually handicapped fall under this category. To raise the awareness on the various disabilities found among the communities, there is need to establish a Special Education Unit within the MoE and to build the capacity of the officers managing the Unit. Special education for visually handicapped learners, though supported by some NGOs, has remained under-developed in Somalia mainly due to limited information to those affected and lack of education resources for special education. This action aims at strengthening the advocacy for all disabilities and in particular focus on the visually handicapped. Learning materials in Braille will be developed and teacher will be trained accordingly. Initially the schools for the visually handicapped will be located in Mogadishu and Merka, and boarding facilities will be availed to cater for those coming from the rural areas.

Activities Establish a Special Education Unit in MoE and build capacity of the Officers; Advocate for equal access and full participation in education for the disabled persons; Develop learning resources materials in Braille; Build the capacity of teachers on how to handle learners with special needs; Expand and rehabilitate Rainbow School for the Blind in Merka and establish a boarding school for

Project Duration January – December 2007Funds Requested $824,900

SummaryProvision of vocational skills is one of the means to early recovery and hence there is need to focus on the large numbers of the IDPs and militia youth scattered all over Central and South Somalia. These groups of youth are among the most marginalised since majority of them are illiterate and lack vocational skills to enable them earn a living. These youth are found in the main towns of Central and South Somalia and particularly in Mogadishu, Baidoa, Merka, Beletweyne, Jowhar and Kismayu doing nothing productive and this is what renders them to be attracted and hence recruited to join the armed militia. What they need is literacy, numeracy and vocational skills in order to improve their livelihood and contribute in the economic and social development of the country. Armed with vocational skills some of the youth will be encouraged to form cooperative groups as a means to self-employment and support to one another.

Activities Identify potential trainee youths (both boys and girls); Survey skill areas with market demand and with potential for vocational training; Develop and acquire appropriate training materials, tools and equipment; Assess potential enterprise owners (host trainers) to offer vocational skills; Build the capacity of providers of skill training in institutions and private sector; Conduct literacy and skills training through enterprises and/or vocational training centres; Assist the trainees to form cooperative groups.

Expected Outcomes 1500 IDPs and militia youth provided with vocational skills and engaged in gainful employment; Appropriate curriculum and training materials adapted and/or developed; Selected vocational training centres supported to offer skills training; Capacity of instructors, managers and enterprise owners enhanced; Sensitised private sector participates positively in providing vocational skills; Improvement in provision of services and making quality products by the enterprise owners.

displaced youth, women and children) through the dissemination of survival skills through local media.

Targeted Beneficiaries 10,000 Youth, Militia, Women, Children and IDPsImplementing Partners Local radio stations, UNDP, UNICEF, UNHCR, MoE.Project Duration January – December 2007Funds Requested $377,985

SummaryThe proliferation of mines and small arms in the Central and Southern Zone (Mogadishu, Jowhar, Merka, Baidoa, Kismayu and surrounding regions) poses a great threat to the lives of children, women and youth. Many of them are IDPs or have a vulnerable nomadic life. Many human lives are lost every day through the explosion of mines or unexploded shells and this is further compounded by the loss of income through the loss of livestock. This action therefore seeks to disseminate key survival skills messages particularly those which would assist in saving lives and supporting the promotion of peace among the different communities. The UNESCO Programme for Education for Emergencies and Reconstruction (PEER) has a wealth of experience from past activities carried out in Somalia to educate the populace through messages and programs that are broadcast on radio and television. UNESCO PEER also has a strong working partnership with local radio stations in the region. This programme is intended to reach at least 10,000 people in Somalia where conflict and lack of resources prevent any other form of formal educational delivery. This action will also provide 1,000 radios to women in order to facilitate the dissemination of the messages.

Activities Production of effective survival skills messages in multi-media channels targeting vulnerable groups; Conduct capacity enhancement workshops to build the capacity of stakeholders to produce and deliver

survival skill programs through radio and other channels; Provide 1,000 affordable pocket radios to women; Support the broadcast of survival skills programs twice a week on local radio stations; Dissemination of survival messages.

Expected Outcomes At least 10,000 youth, men and women mainly from the nomadic and IDPs community informed on

survival skills; Stakeholders trained on production and delivery of survival messages; Improved quality of life for the women, youth and children in the Central and South Zone.

SummaryWhile Somalia is highly characterised by its nomadic and pastoralist people, natural disasters and sporadic fighting over the past decade has resulted in the forced displacement of over 350,000 people. The majority of these IDPs have now settled on the outskirts of major towns and UNICEF will be working with these communities to ensure that the IDP children are integrated into the local established schools where possible. For this longer-term approach, funding has already been secured.

With the increased threat of conflict and instability in the Central South Zone there is a strong likelihood of further displacement of an estimated 30,000 people to areas where there are limited educational opportunities6. To ensure that the right to education is fulfilled for these temporarily displaced children, UNICEF will ensure that temporary learning spaces are provided, educational materials are supplied, and the schools are provided with appropriate incentives and training to ensure quality and retention of students and teachers.

Activities Provision of tented learning spaces and educational material for 10,000 displaced children and youth; Rapid training to 250 displaced teachers and 150 community education committees to ensure effective

management and sustainability of the schools and learning spaces; Affirmative action to ensure girls’ access to educational opportunities.

Expected Outcomes Increased access to education for children and youth in the new and recently established temporary

IDP camps, with particular focus on girls; Teachers and school managers in the IDP camps have the skills and capacity to provide quality

education.

BeneficiariesTotal Project Budget $15,112,538Funds Requested for 2007 $13,075,013 (see breakdown)

SummaryThe integrated area-based early recovery programme is an interagency initiative which aims at stabilising communities, consolidating reconciliation and peace building and creating the conditions for full implementation of the Somalia Reconstruction and Development Plan (RDP) in areas which meet the following criteria: Basic reconciliation and peace building has taken place; Nascent local Governement structures have emerged or have been selected through consensus

building processes for a transition period; Stable conditions for recovery have not yet emerged but planning for recovery is possible; Increased access permits greater engagement by the international community.

The programme embodies the phased transition from humanitarian to recovery assistance, paying more attention to sustainability aspects, which should start in a humanitarian phase and requires strong localised coordination mechanisms. The thematic focus of the programme reflects the highest priorities of the first year of the Reconstruction and Development Programme for Somalia, in which strong emphasis is placed on creating the conditions, such as strengthening the capacities of state and non-state actors, ensuring security and basic rule of law and minimal governance structures, for upscaling assistance to Somalia in the future. The initial focus of the joint UN-NGO programme, coordinated by the Early Recovery working group under the IASC, is on Bay and Bakol regions which had been targeted by the district and peace support programme in 2006 with reconciliation efforts at the local level, led by parliamentarians and community/religious leaders. In order to support nascent local governance structures and provide them with a role in planning and monitoring of development assistance to the citisens, concrete and visible results through an early recovery approach are essential to make the local leaders credible to the population. However, if other parts of central South open themselves to reconciliation and peace during 2007 and meet the above mentioned criteria, the program could be gradually expanded.

ActivitiesThe UNDP proposed activities in Bay and Bakol regions and possible others, concern: Component 1: Peace building, reconciliation and governance; Component 2: Security and Rule of Law; Component 3: Livelihoods and Economic Recovery; Component 4 and 5: Interagency proposals for community driven social recovery in South Central.

Budgets related to each component follow from page 112 to page 116. The following FIVE projects are the different component Area Based Early Recovery in Central South.

Expected OutcomeReconciliation and peace activities are consolidated and conditions for transition from humanitarian aid to development are in place in Bay/Bakol regions, or other areas as access permits.

Recovery programme- District Frameworks for Early Recovery – Bay/Bakool.

Project Code SOM-07/ER/I01Sector Early RecoveryObjective Establish local governance framework for area-based early recovery

with community participation as pilot activity in Bay and Bakool Regions, and two other areas as access permits.

Beneficiaries TOTAL: 930,000 persons in Bay/Bakool (directly: 200,000 persons; women: 100,000) and 200 communities; ten districts in two regions of South/Central.

Implementing Partners District/Regional Councils Bay/Bakool; Ministries of Interior (Local Governement and Gender; two large and ten small local NGOs.


SummaryThis project is an integral part of the Area Based Early Recovery Programme and focuses on areas where local administrations have been selected through the District Peace building project. In Somalia, “early recovery” is linked to the creation of local Governement, as the presence of credible and responsible local authorities is necessary for sustained citizen security and expansion of social services for the poor. Humanitarian assessments have documented the lack of services to poor people, and the urban/rural divide. The Transitional Federal Charter mandates services relevant to social welfare and livelihoods (education, health, water, agriculture and livestock restoration, etc.) to be provided by local Governement. Thus, it is critical that local Governements begin to function and mobilise resources, and adopt strategies for service delivery. The project supports the creation of an “early recovery” framework at the district and regional levels in Bay and Bakool, involving stakeholders with local Governement, generating a participatory structure including traditional and religious leaders, women’s groups, community-based groups, business leaders, and international partners. Bay and Bakool regions were severely affected by drought and Baidoa, the current temporary capital of the Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs), was virtually destroyed by clan fighting prior to 2004. Other areas may be included in the early recovery approach, as access permits and funding is available.

Activities Training of facilitators and community mobilisation/civic education on local governance and pro-poor

service delivery in 20 settlements/communities each of ten districts, total 200 communities; 50% participants women;

Support District Council planning for multi-sectoral framework for early recovery in their District; Pilot assessment and planning exercises involving local Governement with community leaders and

groups, creating modalities for citizen participation for early recovery; Concrete “early recovery” project in each district, involving local resource mobilisation and transparent

collection, management, budgeting, expenditure and reporting of funds by the new District Council.

Expected OutcomeDistrict Councils enabled to lead early recovery service delivery, with Governement and civil society leaders and citisens aware of principles of good governance and their rights.

Implementing Partners Ministry of interior, local authorities, international and local NGOs Project Duration January - December 2007Total Project Budget $2,800,000Funds Requested for 2007 $2,300,000

SummaryThis project is integral part of the Area Based Early Recovery Programme. Law enforcement and judiciary are key elements to the consolidation of rule of law and this proposal focuses on early institution building and priority infrastructure rehabilitation. For law enforcement, this will be aligned with the Strategic Development Plan (SDP) of the Somali Police, with the possibility of replicating the Bay/Bakool actions in other regions. With regards to judiciary, the project will focus on preliminary measures to re-activate the judiciary, including support for the Supreme Court (resident in Baidoa) and support for capacity building and priority infrastructure rehabilitation at the level of regional and district courts. Given that many Somalis utilise traditional forms of justice, this project will also build dialogue with traditional problem solvers at the district level, with a focus on skills development to strengthen access to justice and quality of justice dispensation.

Activities Rehabilitation of police and judiciary infrastructure in regional capitals and prioritised districts, including

provision of equipment and uniforms; Rehabilitation of police training facilities and support police training to ensure its re-establishment and

deployment as per the SDP; Support for the reestablishment of the Supreme Court and Regional Court structures, through quick

impact training for law professionals; Dialogue with traditional problem solvers on skills development and organisation at the local level.

Expected Outcomes Professional, civilian police force actively undertaking their duties in Bay and Bakol regions; High quality training facility and police training curricula are in place; Prioritised judiciary and law enforcement institutions built or rehabilitated and essential equipment

provided to support justice and police presence in Bay and Bakool regions; Capacity built of key law officials and traditional problem solvers to establish a foundation for access to

justice and strength quality of justice dispensation for all Somalis.

rehabilitate productive assets thereby reducing their vulnerability and improving their long-term food security as a strategy for early economic recovery in Bay and Bakool Regions.

Beneficiaries Direct: 20,000 persons includind 10,000 women in Bay/Bakool. Implementing Partners LNGOs, WFP, FAOProject Duration January - December 2007Total Project Budget $1,700,000Funds Requested for 2007 $1,500,000

SummaryThe overall objective of this project is to provide livelihood support and support the recovery of communities affected by conflict, floods and droughts in Bay and Bakool regions, and other areas with food and livelihoods crisis in South/Central Somalia as access and security permits. The objective will be achieved through targeted activities to reduce vulnerability to disaster and protection of agricultural and pastoral productive assets,

Activities Formulation of community based projects following rapid assessments to address their development

constraints and reduce vulnerabilities; Repairs, maintenance, and construction of rainwater harvesting structures to increase access to water

and range land management to support pastoral communities; Environmental resource management to support sustainable livelihood; Capacity building of community management committees, thereby strengthening local governance

structures, peace and security; Support to improve land use, cropping pattern and water shed management to reduce soil erosion; Support to diversification of farm and agro-pastoral activities to improve employment and income

earning opportunities; Improve storage and processing of farm and livestock products to support marketing and value

addition; Training and capacity building of communities to manage and maintain the rehabilitated community

based assets.

Expected OutcomeWhile cash/food for work initiatives will meet the immediate food needs of the community, assets rehabilitated/created under the project will improve their capacity to produce more. This is likely to sustain due to the capacity building component of the project to empower the community to manage and maintain the productive assets. The project is targeting a number of communities widely dispersed primarily in Bay and Bakool regions to benefit from the coordinated area-based approach. Therefore, the large-scale employment and income generation could improve the revenue base of the emerging district governance structures and reduce conflicts due to competition for resources thereby supporting an enabling environment for economic recovery.

delivery of primary education, within framework for area-based recovery with community participation and partnerships in Bay and Bakool Regions

Beneficiaries TOTAL: 561,000 persons (population of six pilot districts) Direct: 2,400 children in pilot schools and 8,400 families in pilot schools. Six districts in two regions of South/Central Somalia are also targeted.

Implementing Partners District/Regional Councils Bay/Bakool; UNICEF, TFG, MoE; local non-state providers of schooling; local NGOs and CBOs.


SummaryThe protracted humanitarian crisis has severely affected social services to poor people, with rural and pastoralist areas most affected; e.g. less than 20% of children in school. The Transitional Federal Charter mandates all services relevant to basic human welfare and livelihoods (education, health, water, agriculture and livestock replacement and extension services, etc.) to be provided by local Government. Thus, it is critical that local Governments begin to function and mobilise resources, and adopt pro-poor strategies for service delivery. The creation of District and Regional Councils in Bay (July) and Bakool (October) has been achieved, and initial capacity building is underway, under a cooperation framework involving UNDP, UNOPS, UNHABITAT and ILO. The next step is for an accelerated, early recovery model for pro-poor service delivery to demonstrate what local Government with community participation can accomplish. The project, as part of the Early Recovery programme, supports pilot projects for early recovery engagement of the nascent local Governments with delivery of primary education in six districts (two urban and four rural) of Bay and Bakool Regions. Building on UNICEF’s existing humanitarian assistance to restore primary schooling, the pilot projects will add local Government resource mobilisation and develop a new modality for decentralisation.

Activities Support Education Committees in six pilot District Councils (two urban; four rural); Support MoE to create new modalities for decentralised service delivery; Build capacity of new District Council for: needs assessments; demographic profiling of groups with

special education needs (rural girls, nomadic families, persons with disabilities); economic/feasibility analysis to provide education for all children/youth;

Support development of public/private partnerships for District schools; Create model for early recovery resource mobilisation for education in the pilot districts.

Expected OutcomeDistrict Councils enabled to lead pro-poor delivery of primary education in six districts of Bay and Bakool regions, and model developed for decentralised service delivery by local Governement with participation of civil society, and piloting of sustainable public/private partnerships to expand access to education during the early recovery phase.

SummaryHumanitarian assistance in 2006 has been significantly hampered by the lack of a sufficient number of effective and accountable implementing local partners. Local NGOs also play a critical role in expanding access of support from the international community to conflict-affected areas in the face of security constraints. This project aims at rapidly building two sets of local civil society organisations’ capacities for driving Early Recovery, The project will support community-based or local NGOs in implementing and ensuring delivery of humanitarian and early recovery assistance, with a focus on capacities for community mobilisation and organisation; managerial and organisational capacity; effective participation in local decision-making, giving a voice to communities and vulnerable groups in the public discourse, and engaging in partnerships. The action is directly supportive of early recovery strategies as it seeks to strengthen the capacity of responsible and transparent non-state organisations to drive early recovery as equal partners and promotes the representation and participation of vulnerable groups in local-level planning and decision-making. Organisations advancing the role, participation, and interests of women will be given particular attention and support.

ActivitiesOperating under recovery principles in the humanitarian context of South/Central Somalia, the project will: Map local CSO capacity in early recovery areas to identify potential beneficiary organisations and their

existing capacities for implementation and capacity strengthening needs; Organise local CSOs consultative forums to build consensus on priority recovery needs and establish

on-going feedback mechanism with local Governements; linking to existing civil society support centres;

Promote partnerships for local service delivery based on comparative advantages and identify mechanisms for the sustainability of service delivery;

Deliver training on local recovery process, needs assessment, planning, advocacy, conflict resolution; Increase capacity of organisations representing women and participation of women in supported CSOs.

Expected OutcomeEnhanced capacity of civil society organisations to participate in nascent local governance structures and function as effective partners in early recovery on community and district level.

Project Duration January - June 2007Total Project Budget $1,112,400Funds Requested $1,112,400

SummaryThe District-based Peace Building & Reconciliation project has been supporting the convening of dialogue and reconciliation processes at the community and district level in South/Central Somalia. In the first phase, the project is facilitating reconciliation meetings in 40-45 districts in six regions of Somalia followed by regional peace-building conferences of representatives selected at the district level meetings. Necessary consultations and training workshops with traditional leaders, civil society leaders and community-based facilitators and members of Parliament precede the dialogue processes. The project started in April 2006 and it has already demonstrated a successful “bottom–up” approach to reconciliation in Bay and Bakool regions, leading to creation of nascent local Governement administrations with involvement of the community to select and elect their representatives. The primary aim is to achieve reconciliation at the district and community level, to consolidate the fragile peace in the affected communities, and enable early recovery to take place with more security and predictability for the citizens. Also, the creation of local administrations will enable on-going reconciliation processes, and the creation of early recovery projects with joint community and local Governement engagement. The first phase project, funded by Italy, covers six Regions and is on-going. Considering the success of the first phase of the programme, additional funds are required to continue and extend the process to other accessible districts in South/Central Somalia, estimated to include 17 districts in four regions.

Activities Mobilisation of community representatives in each region, in consultation with traditional leaders,

members of Parliament and the Ministry of Reconciliation, to lead the process of organising and facilitating the peace building process (reconciliation & conflict resolution);

Training for the selected representatives from each district (DPCs) with local NGO facilitation; District Conference to select the District Administration; Regional Conference to elect the Regional Administration.

Expected OutcomeCommunity and district-based reconciliation processes consolidate peace and resolve conflicts in 20 districts and four regions, enabling early recovery to proceed with enhanced and more predictable security for citizens, and with joint participation by communities and their new local Governement administrations.

Project Duration (12 months) November 1st 2006 – October 31st 2007).Total Project Budget $5,500,000Funds Requested for 2007 $5,000,000 (ILO: $2,500,000; FAO: $2,500,000).

SummaryILO is undertaking an Employment in Support of Peace Programme in Mogadishu, Bay and Bakool Regions to support community driven social recovery, through income generation and cash-for-work to create immediate and long term employment opportunities and to develop the associated local capacity. In collaboration with FAO the project aims to target immediate employment opportunities and productive agri-livelihoods to maintain productive capacity and livelihoods of thousands of poor families. The programme addresses a primary underlying cause of poverty by providing employment and capacity building opportunities to vulnerable and idle populations. It provides for entry into communities through community contracting, whereby communities are empowered to financially managing their own identified employment and livelihood initiatives. The newly formed Local Districts will be empowered through assumption of an executive management role of individual VDC community projects, thus responding more effectively to early recovery and, eventually, development mechanisms. The project is not only a tool for income generation, livelihood development and infrastructure improvement, but a tool for peace-building, reconciliation, social dialogue and confidence building.

ActivitiesProvision of employment opportunities through public works and agri-livelihood development for 15,500 households in Bay and Bakool Region, developing a local capacity to manage employment intensive works for community driven recovery, such as improved land clearance, food storage facilities etc. A fundamental principle is sustainability, through the training of local authorities, social groups and the private sector to manage local employment intensive projects.

Expected Outcome 455,600 work days created for needy households and $2,733,500 directly injected into reviving local economies; communities empowered for local employment intensive project execution, rural feeder roads and other productive asset improved, livelihood development and community dialogue and capacity supported.

Beneficiaries Beneficiaries of all humanitarian assistance programs in Somalia Project Duration January – December 2007 Funds Requested $4,012,662

SummaryDespite the holding of the first parliamentary session of the TFG in February 2006, the TFG has continued to suffer from a lack of real authority, operational capacity, and control over the Somali territory. With the emergence of the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) and apparent end to ‘warlordism’ in Mogadishu in June of this year, the political landscape in Somalia has changed radically. The ICU is rapidly extending its influence throughout strategic locations in the South Central Region and has reduced the TFG’s area of control to two regions, Bay and Bakool. The rise of the ICU could bring new realities and opportunities for humanitarian engagement and access, particularly in the South Central Region, where a majority of the 400,000 internally displaced and 1.4 million Somalis in a state of food and livelihood crisis and humanitarian emergency reside.

ActivitiesIn 2007 OCHA will lead inter-agency assessments, identify priority needs, and facilitate the planning of common responses to affected populations. OCHA Somalia will provide improved field coordination for the strengthening of the cluster approach in-country with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. OCHA will continue to support grass-roots reconciliation initiatives and negotiate humanitarian access with de facto local authorities, particularly in the South Central Region where access is limited due to insecurity. The OCHA office will provide analysis on access-related issues, including how the aid community delivers assistance and how this impacts access. OCHA Somalia will continue to promote humanitarian principles, drawing attention on their compatibility with Islamic values. OCHA will work to highlight the dire humanitarian situation and advocate for better allocation of financial resources across all sectors. In addition, OCHA Somalia will coordinate the implementation of the joint IDP strategy to improve the deplorable IDP situation, especially in Puntland, and make authorities accountable to contributing to a protective environment. Finally, OCHA will continue to provide the IASC and international community with high quality information and analysis on the evolving humanitarian situation in the country. Expected OutcomeImproved in-country coordination through strengthened field presence particularly in the South Central Region.In Hargeisa, where the environment is entering a development phase, OCHA’s presence will be reduced while presence will be bolstered in Puntland - to focus progress on much needed IDP/protection issues - and in South Central region including Mogadishu - to capitalise on new opportunities, and to facilitate coordination between the authorities and the humanitarian community. Access for the delivery of assistance and protection are prime concerns for the humanitarian community and the latter is turning to OCHA for strong leadership. Where OCHA is expected to play a critical and pivotal coordination role, including for the consolidation of the humanitarian reform, field presence will necessitate the relevant seniority and experience.

reproductive health and gender emergency response programs in South Central Somalia.

Beneficiaries All data users, in particular emergency relief agencies in South Central Somalia.

Implementing Partners Local Somali organisations already involved with continuous data collection.


SummaryThe need for timely and accurately collected data and information is crucial to provide a timely, cost effective and well-integrated humanitarian response in the conflict-affected south and central regions of Somalia. This project aims to fill part of the gap that currently exists for data needed to expediently respond to reproductive health and gender emergency situations in South - Central Somalia. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with OCHA, UNDP and other (UN) agencies involved with emergency relief, and its implementation will strengthen the capacity of Somali organisations already active in this field with support from e.g. FAO/FSAU, UNDP, and UNICEF. UNFPA’s particular interest is to ensure that it can efficiently deliver reproductive health actions using the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) approach.

Activities Identifying specific data needs for efficient implementation of Reproductive Health (RH) programs; Conducting needs assessment joint with other agencies, to establish to what extent the data to be

collected can be obtained through existing channels; Preparing a plan for data collection, analysis and dissemination in close collaboration with all

stakeholders; Implementing plan based on expanding capacity and human resources of existing local organisations

involved with data collection for emergency relief.

Expected OutcomeThe expected outcome is an increased efficiency of reproductive health programs in emergency situations.

activities for children and vulnerable populations impacted by the humanitarian crisis in Central and Southern Somalia.

Project Duration January – December 2007Total Project Budget $577,800

SummaryUNICEF remains one of the main international organisation supporting health, nutrition, education, water and sanitation services in Southern Somalia through a range of implementing partners including national and international NGOs and community-based organisations. The uncertain political situation and continuing humanitarian crisis in Central Southern of Somalia require adaptive and reliable operational support mechanisms to ensure minimal disruption on the delivery of basic services for children. It is therefore imperative that UNICEF retains the financial means to upscale its support systems in an environment lacking essential logistics, communications, storage and related support facilities. This is also in accordance with UN Minimum Operating Security Standards (MOSS) standards.

Activities Strengthening of UNICEF offices as Baidoa and overall Mogadiscio (in close partnership with UN

agencies) for a period of one year or until the immediate humanitarian and political crisis improves including compound rentals, catering and running costs;

Undertake procurement and construction of essential facilities and improvements of compounds, including renovation of buildings (Baidoa) use of pre-fab facilities (Mogadishu), office supplies and equipment including furnishings, consumables, etc.;

Project Title Humanitarian Response Fund (HRF) for Somalia.Project Code SOM-07/CSS04Sector Coordination and Support ServicesObjective To provide a strategic fund for humanitarian operations that can be

disbursed rapidly and flexibly to implementing agencies. Beneficiaries People and communities affected by natural or conflict-related

emergencies in Somalia. Implementing Partners UN agencies, INGOs and LNGOs.Project Duration January – December 2007 Funds Requested $8,000,000

SummaryThe HRF is administered by OCHA on behalf of the Humanitarian Coordinator. It provides a flexible and readily available funding resource for timely responses to emergencies in Somalia. Established in February 2004, in the context of the worsening drought conditions in northern Somalia, the HRF scope has been expanded to cover emergency projects in all parts of the country.

The Fund is available to INGOs, LNGOs, UN and the Red Cross Movement. Its emphasis is to support rapid response projects that are developed during the first phase of an emergency and before mainstream responses come on line. These responses seek to contribute to saving lives and to preventing a further erosion of livelihood assets through supporting positive coping mechanism of affected communities. The fund is increasingly used to strategically fill gaps (geographic or sectoral), as planned actions start to be implemented, within an overall response plan. So far the Fund has proven beyond doubt to be an effective and efficient funding mechanism that could be drawn on for immediate responses.

The HRF operates under the guidance of an Advisory Board comprising six UN agencies and two NGOs selected by the NGO consortium, in addition, Cluster Leads7, OCHA and the FSAU are co-opted as advisors to the Board. Projects submitted are funded in a timely manner after the approval of the Humanitarian Coordinator on the basis of a recommendation from the Advisory Board.

ActivitiesActions funded by HRF will work in a complementary manner with other emergency programmes being planned (particularly with other existing emergency response funding mechanisms for specific sectors such as livelihood support and early recovery). The HRF also facilitates enhanced coordination. Before a project is selected, other partners working in the targeted area of action and sector experts are consulted on the projects benefits. To help administer the Fund efficiently, OCHA has three Nairobi based staff members overseeing the day-to-day administration of the fund under the guidance of the Head of Office.

Expected OutcomeThe expected outcome of the project is a continuation of improved rapid response to emergencies and the urgent needs of the nearly 1.8 million vulnerable people the majority of whom are located in south and central Somalia.

SummaryFollowing the finalisation of the RDP at the end of 2007, the UN Country Team will prepare a single integrated transition plan (UN Transition Plan [UNTP]) that delivers strategic focus to UN assistance to Somalia in 2008-2009 and supports programme harmonisation for the agencies of the UNCT by 1 January 2008. To ensure greater coordination, focus, system-wide coherence and monitoring/evaluation of the recovery efforts aligned with the RDP, including at the field level, it is important that the RCO be properly resourced and staffed. This is also to be placed in the context of more integrated UN coordination arrangements for Somalia between humanitarian, recovery and development coordination that the Resident/Humanitarian Coordinator aims to achieve in 2007, in the spirit of the UN reform. A more robust UN coordination office will also be in a better position to provide support, in collaboration with the World Bank, to a more coherent overall coordination architecture for Somalia.

Activities Strengthening of the coordination function through a phased expansion of the RCO, including through

deployment in the field (South/Central, Somaliland and Puntland), and closer integration of humanitarian, early recovery and recovery activities;

Provide coordination services to other existing and relevant coordination structures; Support the development of a UNTP 2008-2009 aligned with the RDP; Improve liaison with national and regional authorities through field presence and regular engagement in

Somalia; Coordinate joint funding and disbursement mechanisms for transition and recovery (through the Interim

Support Fund for Somalia); Support resource mobilisation and resource tracking for recovery activities; Train UNCT for Somalia in strategic planning and joint programme development.

Expected OutcomeImpact of UN assistance to Somalia with be maximised through strengthened coordination of humanitarian, recovery and development activities.

Beneficiaries All SomalisImplementing Partners Local Somali radios; community focus groups; drama group.Project Duration January – December 2007Total Project Budget $207,920Funds Requested $207,920

SummaryRadio is the most powerful means of mass communication in Somalia. Most Somalis have access to radios, recent surveys suggest, and are avid listeners. But little information is available to them on humanitarian issues. The IRIN Radio Somalia project seeks to harness the power of radio to propel discussion on humanitarian issues, with a focus on Early Recovery, into the mainstream. The project is designed to be both a channel for conveying information to the Somali public, and a catalyst for the positive involvement by Somali communities in the plans and decisions affecting their own lives. As such, this project will support the efforts of other agencies in the Early Recovery and other sectors.

ActivitiesThe central activity of IRIN Radio Somalia: “Aan Hadallo - Let’s Talk” is the production and broadcast of a radio drama series and supporting programming, focusing on issues key to the recovery process in Somalia. Themes for the drama series will be gathered from focus group sessions with Somali communities representing a broad social and geographical cross-section. Input will also be sought from the agencies on areas of their respective expertise, so that IRIN Radio can support Early Recovery activities at a community level. Thus, for example, the radio drama will broadcast practical advice on how to improve your crops, how to improve hygiene in your family, ways of participating in community affairs, importance of girls’ education, and so on.

Expected OutcomeResults from IRIN Radio’s pilot drama series in Somalia show that the broadcasts are widely heard and very popular. It is expected therefore that this project will successfully engage Somalis in positive discussion on the issues involved in the peace building and Early Recovery processes. Furthermore, by outlining ‘blueprints’ for resolving local conflicts, organising civil society, improving agricultural productivity, etc, the radio project will empower Somalis at community level with information to improve their lives.

package of HIV actions to populations of humanitarian concern in Central South Zone.

Beneficiaries Nine Regional Working Groups in Central South ZoneImplementing Partners Regional Working Groups in nine regions in Central South Zone. Project Duration January – December 2007Funds Requested $107,000

Summary Central South Zone is a region with weak central governance structures, vast geographical distances and a large number of populations of humanitarian concern. While at central level in Central South Zone a national AIDS coordinating mechanism has been established, decentralised responsibility and accountability has to be strengthened to effectively reach vulnerable populations with essential HIV prevention, care and support actions in the early recovery process. UNICEF has supported the technical capacity building of regional HIV working groups which are composed of CBOs, NGOs and local authorities over the last year. Limited resources from other funding mechanisms have also been mobilised to provide some equipment and organisational development support to the groups. The working groups have been critical to ensuring access to areas affected by natural disasters and conflict with HIV actions. Further strengthening these existing groups and ensuring participation of NGOs and CBOs in planning and decision-making at regional levels will promote ownership of resources and planning by local stakeholders of the HIV response as well as reducing underlying vulnerabilities to HIV infection.

Activities Strengthen regional coordination groups capacity to plan, coordinate and respond effectively with a

minimum package of HIV actions for vulnerable populations, especially women and children; Develop locally relevant materials for a minimum package of HIV actions; Support community mobilisation and youth participation in these processes for the greater protection of

vulnerable populations; Monitoring, evaluation and documentation of lessons learned.

Expected Outcomes Strengthen local planning, coordination and decision making in the HIV response; Reduce causes for underlying vulnerabilities to HIV infection.
