4 PARTIE I: PREFACE BY RESIDENT COORDINATOR PREFACE BY RESIDENT COORDINATOR 04 I have the honor to share with you the 2016 Burundi humanitarian response plan developed in consultation and with the participation of all humanitarian actors in the country, donors, and public agencies involved in humanitarian operations. The humanitarian situation in Burundi requires more attention. Since 2015, Burundi has been facing a political and security crisis, characterized by deterioration in affected populations living conditions, including protection of their rights, access to basic services and livelihoods. The contextual analysis based on three key elements, including human rights violations and protection problems, deterioration in access to basic services, and vulnerability of affected communities in their resilience and social cohesion capacities, highlighted humanitarian needs and new challenges that worsen the situation of local populations, including internally displaced persons and/or returnees. Now, Burundi needs financial resources to minimize the humanitarian consequences caused by the political and security crisis, as well as natural disasters.. The humanitarian community will work on three strategic objectives: a) to increase protection and respect of rights of people affected by the political and security crisis and natural disasters, and other people at risk; b) to improve the safe and equitable access to basic services and assistance, as well as survival, dignity, and wellbeing of people affected by the political and security crisis and natural disasters; etc., c) to contribute to increasing affected communities resilience, including their coping strategies and social cohesion and to contribute to sustainable solutions. It is also essential to continue advocacy with the Government of Burundi and development actors to make sustained efforts to address the structural problems underlying chronic humanitarian needs. As ad interim Resident Coordinator, I commend the tremendous mobilization of expertise and human resources by humanitarian actors, including UN agencies and NGOs, from the beginning of the crisis. Nevertheless, I note the obvious difficulties facing the humanitarian community to collect funds necessary for the response. The Humanitarian Response Plan should continue to reflect optimal programming in line with economic realities. In this decisive year 2016, I extend my deep gratitude to the donors, who support the population of Burundi, and call on the international community to continue to support the country to respond effectively to the humanitarian issues in a coordinated manner. Paolo Lembo ad interim Resident Coordinator

6 PARTIE I: OVERVIEW OF THE CRISIS OVERVIEW OF THE CRISIS Burundi s population is increasingly affected by the adverse impact of the political crisis, which began in April 2015, in particular the violence it has generated and the deterioration in the socioeconomic context. Humanitarian needs are visible: about 1.1 million people need immediate protection and humanitarian aid, including urgent access to basic essential services and livelihoods. 06 With a population of 10.1 million people, Burundi is one of the poorest countries. Burundi is ranked by the World Bank as a lowincome country. In the latest 2015 UNDP Human Development Report, Burundi is 184th (out of 188 countries and territories), with a life expectancy of 56.7 years and child mortality rate of 82.9 deaths of children under five per 1,000 births. The humanitarian impact of the political crisis, which broke out in 2015, will be further aggravated in The protection of populations at the center of the crisis in Burundi The protection crisis, particularly related to violence against, threats to, and intimidation of the civilian population, and human rights violations characterize the humanitarian situation. The deterioration in socioeconomic conditions resulting from the slackening economy, reduced access to basic services, and natural disasters, such as localized flooding, triggered new humanitarian needs and further threaten the security and dignity of the most vulnerable persons, including young people, women, and children who have already adopted negative coping strategies. CHRONOLOGY OF THE CRISIS January 2015 First demonstrations against the intention of President Nkurunziza to run for a new presidential term. 81k 160k March 2015 April 2015 May 2015 July 2015 Thousands of Burundians begin to seek refuge in neighboring countries (Rwanda, DRC, Tanzania, and Uganda) Nkurunziza nominated by his party as its candidate for another term. Opposition protests are violently suppressed.. Validation of Nkurunziza s bid by the Constitutional Court. Coup failed.. Presidential elections. President Nkurunziza reelected.

7 PARTIE I: OVERVIEW OF THE CRISIS Political violence and basic human rights violations remain the main threat to the Burundian population. To alleviate the sufferings and losses of lives in the absence of a protective environment, the most vulnerable groups are in urgent need of safety and security; respect for their dignity; and safe and equitable access to functional essential services. Since April 2015, about 1.1 million men, women, and children have faced physical and psychological threats, intimidations, and other abuses. This is exacerbated in some areas of the capital. According to UNICEF, 249 children are believed to have been arbitrarily detained since April At least 450 people have been reportedly killed and hundreds injured; more than 4,700 cases of human rights violations have been recorded since the beginning of the crisis. Cases of rape and sexual assault on women and girls have increased. Men and young people are victims of arbitrary arrests and summary executions. Girls and boys have had their education disrupted, mainly where schools have been occupied by security forces or during attacks near the schools. according to the IOM and the protection sector, an estimated number of 70,000 internally displaced persons and 70% of them live in host families in the provinces of Bujumbura Mairie, Rutana, Makambe, Gitega, Bujumbura Rural, and Ruyigi, thus increasing the pressure on host communities whose resources and access to services are limited. Deterioration in food security, nutrition, and livelihoods Movement restrictions due to insecurity or real or perceived have had a significant impact on economic activities, reducing access to livelihoods and available food and resulting in increased food prices on the markets. More than 35 % of Burundi s population is food insecure. 689,000 people are severely food insecure and have already developed negative coping strategies (FSMS, December 2015). The malnutrition rate has also increased. About 50,000 underfive children suffer from severe acute malnutrition (SAM). Displacement of populations According to UNHCR, since the beginning of the crisis, more than 250,000 Burundians, most of whom are children, have left their homes for neighboring countries, fearing for their lives, and found refuge in five countries of asylum.

8 PARTIE I: OVERVIEW OF THE CRISIS 08 Restricted access to basic services Insecurity and violence have restricted people s safe access to basic social services. Budget cuts and the suspended direct budget support have had serious consequences on the government s ability to finance such services. Several donors have restricted and/or redirected their direct budget contributions. According to UNDP, the political crisis has already impacted the delivery of social services, with dramatic cuts in health (54%), agricultural (14%), education (27%), and human rights (65%) areas in The victims of the recent acts of violence have hardly had access to adequate care. The same is true for the survivors of genderbased violence, whose support is at times hampered by the security situation. Pregnant women and children under five, who relied on free critical care, are particularly at risk. Budget cuts have severely impacted the government s ability to maintain basic services KEY ISSUES Human rights violations Genderbased violence Lack of access to basic services Negative coping strategies Vulnerability to natural hazards Vulnerability to natural hazards Beyond the sociopolitical crisis, the country experienced severe flooding in November This affected at least 30,000 people and killed 52 people, destroyed or damaged more than 5,000 houses and damaged 13,000 hectares of agricultural land. Following these events, the authorities and the humanitarian community have developed a response plan to meet the needs of 90,000 people in 11 provinces. This plan is included in the National MultiHazard Contingency Plan. Nevertheless, the communities affected by the floods have difficulties to meet their needs for shelters, nonfood items, water, hygiene, sanitation, food, and other livelihoods.

9 PARTIE I: STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES The overall objective of this strategy is to support local communities and the Government of Burundi to ensure that the lives, dignity, and wellbeing of people affected by the political and security crisis and natural disasters are protected. In order to achieve this objective, the Humanitarian Country Team has agreed on the following strategic objectives for Protection 2 Protection and respect of human rights of people affected by the political and security crisis and natural disasters, and other people at risk are increased. Access to basic services Safe and equitable access to basic services and assistance, as well as survival, dignity and wellbeing of people affected by the security and political crisis and natural disasters, have improved. 3 Resilience and social cohesion The affected communities resilience, including their coping strategies and social cohesion, is reinforced.

10 PARTIE I: RESPONSE strategy RESPONSE STRATEGY The Humanitarian Country Team places the protection of people affected by the political and security crisis at the center of the response. It focuses its engagement with communities through activities geared to save lives, reduce community vulnerability, and build resilience and social cohesion, in order to contribute to effective protection and sustainable solutions. 10 The answer is anchored on three strategic pillars, including protection, access to basic services, and resilience and social cohesion. Furthermore, though response operational plans are organized by sector, the response has a multisector planning. Any prioritization in projects, including those financed by the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), will be based on their anchor in one or more strategic objectives. The response to chronic and structural problems (including those related to food security, health, chronic malnutrition) or those prior to the current crisis will not be included in the response plan. Scope of the Plan The Plan focuses primarily on the most urgent humanitarian needs resulting from the political and security crisis and natural disasters. It identifies key activities to meet the needs of more than 442,000 people, who are the most vulnerable and most at risk, through programs providing safe and equitable access to basic services and livelihoods. It includes resilience activities contributing to social cohesion. The Response guidelines The Response Plan is guided by the core principles of humanitarian action: centrality of protection, do no harm principle, accountability to affected people, gender equality, and an approach which includes age, gender, and diversity criteria. Centrality of protection The Humanitarian Country Team will continue to give a central position to protection. The rights upfront principle will be applied to protect all populations, in accordance with human rights, in a way which prevents and responds to international law and humanitarian law violations. A presencebased protection approach will facilitate the creation of direct links between the communities and protection agents. Humanitarian and do no harm principles In addition to humanitarian action principles (neutrality, impartiality, humanity, and operational independence), the Humanitarian Country Team is determined to use a approach sensitive to the specific context, which is marked by the political and security crisis, by implementing interventions based on the do no harm principle. Humanitarian interventions should avoid any negative consequences where they will be implemented, so that the humanitarian action is likely to neither further endanger the affected populations nor reduce the communities abilities to build peace and social cohesion. Accountability to affected peoples The Humanitarian Country Team is committed to engaging with the affected communities. This involves setting up appropriate feedback and accountability mechanisms; providing access to critical information to affected populations in a timely manner, including on the processes that affect their lives. For example a hotline was also provided in October Hosted by the Burundian Red Cross, with the support of partners such as World Vision, Caritas, IOM, Save the Children, OCHA, and the Australian Embassy, it

11 PARTIE I: RESPONSE strategy allows people to inform the humanitarian community on the assistance needs and give their opinions on the assistance received. Genderbased equality and age, gender, and diversity mainstreaming approach The Humanitarian Country Team encourages all humanitarian actors to follow, through their interventions, a humancentered approach, with a strong emphasis on genderbased equality and age, gender and diversity mainstreaming (AGDM), and take targeted measures to address protection gaps. The AGDM strategy promotes significant participation of women, girls, men, boys of all ages and from all backgrounds. The Plan s operational plans and sector strategies already include this aspect as a crosscutting principle in all their interventions. Humanitarian action and development The Humanitarian Country Team recognizes the relationship between humanitarian action and longerterm development aimed at providing sustainable solutions to those affected by the crisis. Humanitarian actors will promote interventions contributing to a fully inclusive social cohesion process, focusing on capacity building for local actors, livelihood restoration, community resilience building, and increasing the production capacity and income and employment opportunities. Efforts will be made to strengthen the links between humanitarian action and development interventions, according to the initial proposals from the current World Humanitarian Summit consultations. Cash assistance and vouchers The Humanitarian Country Team increasingly recognizes the effective cash humanitarian aid. Based on the recommendations of the High Level Panel on Humanitarian Cash Transfers and Vouchers, the Humanitarian Country Team will consider using this method to provide humanitarian aid, when allowed by the local context. This approach will be applied to provide equal access to cash assistance modalities and postdistribution monitoring to ensure effectiveness. The development of a multisector, needcentered strategy will be considered to develop cash approaches in Burundi, promoting the pooling of resources and a more appropriate response to the beneficiaries individual needs and dignity. Based on defined criteria and an assessment of the context (market and security), the multisector, demandcentered strategy will define cash, voucher, and inkind intervention modalities. In addition to the adoption of those assistance methods from humanitarian actors, the Agency InterSector Group will increase this component in preparing the humanitarian response and multisector response plans. 11

12 PARTIE I: OPERATIONAL CAPACITY OPERATIONAL CAPACITY The actors, who have been working in Burundi, in a primarily developmentoriented context, for several years, have limited operational capacities to provide emergency responses. A scaling is underway to focus on areas, where there are the most vulnerable people, and to build the existing capacities. The political and security crisis has contributed to the deterioration in the populations living conditions, including protection problems, access to basic services and livelihoods. This situation has required a rapid redirection of assistance in Burundi, which has led development organizations already in place to extend their mandates to meet the most urgent needs and new players to deploy in the country. 12 Food security Health Early recovery Protection # HUMANITARIAN PARTNERS 65 Nutrition 9 Education 10 Water Sanitation Hygiene Shelters and ANA 12 13

13 PARTIE I: HUMANITARIAN ACCESS HUMANITARIAN ACCESS Humanitarian access is increasingly complicated in the capital. The security situation remains volatile and unpredictable in the provinces of Bujumbura Mairie and Bujumbura Rural unlike the other parts of the country, where the situation is relatively calm. A new operating mode has been used in Bujumbura, with daylight or night grenade attacks in the city center. Bujumbura Mairie and Bujumbura Rural are described by UNDSS as moderate to high security environment (Security Level Area 4). In the capital, three areas are classified as high risk areas (Mutakura and Cibitoke in the north, Musaga in the south), and five areas as medium risk areas (Ngagara and Kamenge in the north, and BwizaJabe and Nyakabiga in the center, and Kanyosha in the south). In the rest of the country, the security level is moderate, according to the UN security levels (SLA 3). Roads accessto the provinces is good but additional measures have beentaken for the UN staffs in the eastern part of the country, where they move in convoys of two MOSS (Minimum Operating Security Standards) vehicles, and in the two areas in Kibira Forest and Ruvubu Park, in the northwest and northeast, where an armed escort is mandatory. However, sporadic incidents have increased and tensions are high in the country because of the intimidating presence of the Imbonerakure militia within the communities; the strong military presence along the borders; and concerns related to a reorganization of the rebellion. For fear of reprisals, especially in protesting districts in the Burundian capital, the humanitarian actors have difficulties in providing assistance. 13 # DEATHS RELATED TO THE CRISES (APRIL 2015FEBRUARY 2016) Escort mandatory Security Level 3 Security Level 4 Source: ACLED, Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project ( et UNDSS

14 PARTIE I: MONITORING THE RESPONSE MONITORING THE RESPONSE The Humanitarian Country Team has agreed to develop a humanitarian response monitoring framework to ensure effective monitoring of the implementation of the humanitarian response plan. The monitoring framework provides the Resident Coordinator and the Humanitarian Country Team with a solid system to inform decisionmaking and improve the humanitarian response. 14 Objectives of the humanitarian response monitoring framework By following the online reporting system (ORS) developed by OCHA in the Sahel region in 2014 to inform and monitor the humanitarian response indicators, the humanitarian response monitoring framework is in line with the logic for improving the humanitarian community s accountability to the affected populations, state and local partners, and donors. It details the elements to be monitored, sets the monitoring report schedule, and describes the roles and responsibilities of humanitarian actors (Resident Coordinator, Humanitarian Country Team, agency intersector group, sector coordinators, partners, etc.). The collected and analyzed information will assess the implementation of the humanitarian response plan and therefore identify weaknesses or strengths and adapt the humanitarian response, if necessary. (intersector group of agencies, sector coordinators, partners). More information can be found in Appendix: Objectives, indicators, and targets. Humanitarian response monitoring schedule Response monitoring will help prepare monthly project reports on monitoring and sector indicators. Quarterly consolidated reports (Periodic Monitoring Report) and humanitarian performance indicators will be developed based on the data in ORS. These quarterly reports will provide information on progress, challenges, developments of the humanitarian situation, financial analysis, and recommendations on possible measures to adapt the response. Scope of the monitoring framework The monitoring framework for the humanitarian response in Burundi has three monitoring levels: strategic objectives, sector objectives, and activities/projects. They are all linked to indicators and targets for assessing progress in Depending on the level, different actors are responsible for monitoring and evaluating progress in the humanitarian response CALENDAR OF HUMANITARIAN CYCLE Dashboard (HD) Monitoring report (PMR) Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) Plan for Humanitarian Response(PRH) MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC JAN

Emergency activities will particularly target schoolchildren and education staffs in the provinces affected by the conflict and natural disasters, and schoolage children, who do not attend school or who left school as a result of the crisis and flooding. They will take into account both formal and nonformal education to provide access to quality basic education for all children and adolescents. Prevention activities will be carried out primarily in border areas, prone to flooding and highly vulnerable to cholera (Ngozi, Muramvya, Karuzi, Gitega, Rumonge, Bujumbura Mairie, Bujumbura, Makamba, Ruyigi, Rutana, and Kirundo) to build the capacities of the education system and communities to cope with crises. These activities align with interagency sector response strategy and that of the national natural disaster platform. Moreover, the strategy of the working group on education emergencies will be implemented in collaboration with the partners in the protection, WASH, nutrition, shelter, and food security sectors, in order to promote an integrated and holistic humanitarian response. More specifically, the interventions for the response to the current emergencies in the education sector will focus primarily on analyzing the educational needs of 164,800 children (317 years) and 3,300 teachers living in areas directly and indirectly affected by the crises; improving access to education and learning conditions for those children and teachers; building preparedness and adaptation to emergencies, including resilience of teachers and students to emergencies. Major lines of intervention SO1. To ensure that children and young people affected by the sociopolitical crises and natural disasters have access to quality education and continue their education in a safe and protective environment. SO2. To extend to targeted schools the management of affected children and young people through psychosocial wellbeing recovery and development interventions and referrals to appropriate institutions able to provide care to children with psychological problems.

21 PARTIE II: Nutrition PEOPLE IN NEED TARGETED PEOPLE BUDGET (US$) # PARTNERS 650, ,000 10M 09 TARGETED PEOPLE PER PROVINCE NUTRITION Sector strategy The nutrition sector s response focuses on a minimum package of nutritional services for children under 5 years and pregnant women and covers the following components: curative (treatment of moderate and severe acute malnutrition) malnutrition prevention (malnutrition screening, cover food, micronutrient supplementation, and promotion of family key practices). The nutrition sector response plan will be implemented in support of existing government services and in collaboration with nutrition sector partners. The nutrition sector will work closely with health, WASH, and food security sectors to target complementary interventions. Major lines of intervention SO1. To complete mass screening in priority provinces with high food insecurity and population movements (Bujumbura Mairie, Bujumbura Rural, Cibitoke, Kirundo, Makamba, and Rumonge). These screenings will guide the initial response of the nutrition sector. The nutrition sector partners will assist the government in identifying and referring acute malnutrition cases to appropriate health facilities. Severe acute malnutrition will be treated at national level. The treatment of moderate acute malnutrition will be provided in priority provinces (Bujumbura Mairie, Bujumbura Rural, Cibitoke, Kirundo, Makamba, and Rumonge) if the prevalence of acute malnutrition is 7% or higher. However, it is essential for UNICEF and WFP to provide the supply chain with therapeutic inputs and supplementation for adequate treatment of malnutrition cases. SO2. To address the lack of diversity and food insecurity, which increase the risk of malnutrition, together with the promotion of family key practices, prevention of malnutrition, through cover food for children aged 623 months and pregnant women, will be provided in health facilities in provinces with acute malnutrition prevalence between 5 and 7%. Home fortification with micronutrient powders for children aged 623 months, as well as iron and folic acid supplementation for pregnant women, will be provided through health facilities in provinces with prevalence lower than 5%.
