2 Bay Bakool Lower Juba Gedo would be given the choice to return to their place of origin or resettle in one of the new sites. Security issues associated with the settlements and humanitarian concerns were cited as key reasons for the relocations. The deadline for completion was set for August The humanitarian community is responding in a coordinated fashion, including a joint Government/Humanitarian Task Force. PROGRAMME RESPONSE HEALTH: UNICEF along with WHO and partners held National Immunization Days for Polio in January, reaching 143,261 children under five in Bay, Bakool, Gedo, and Lower Juba regions. Many of these places, with the exception of those in Lower Juba, were reached for the first time in years due to inaccessibility.

As FSNAU declared that the situation for the remaining half of the year would remain unchanged, all targets were multiplied by two (Jan-June + Jul-Dec). 1 All data (targets and results) refers to Central and Southern Somalia (CSZ) alone. 2 UNICEF and cluster, based on FSNAU Post Deyr 2011 assessments and caseloads of 323,000 acutely malnourished children (93,000 severely) across the country, agreed on targets for the whole of Somalia of 56,000 severely malnourished (SAM) and 138,000 moderately malnourished (MAM) children. For central and south regions, 45,000 severely malnourished; and 58,000 (UNICEF) and 97,000 () moderately malnourished children will be targeted 3 SAM Results reflect cumulative partner s for January through December2012 for south central Somalia alone. Results across Somalia for the same period amount to 269,331severely malnourished children under five admitted across Somalia. UNICEF SAM totals for Jan-Dec 2011 amount to183,923 children across Somalia (with 162,221 in CSZ alone). 4 Actors working on SAM treatment in Somalia are all supported by UNICEF, except for observer NGOs, who do not or participate in the. 5 MAM Results reflect cumulative partner s for January through December 2012MAM admissions in southern Somalia. MAM totals for Jan-Dec 2011amount to224,859 children reached in South. 6 Results reflect MAM admissions in central and southern Somalia. Admissions across Somalia for the same period amount to 474,880 MAM children under five, including WFP s from Jan through December Target revised based on previous experience of implementation and set as a cumulative number of households that will be reached with wet feeding meals for period Jan-December as opposed to the previous target on daily meals served- in three sites in Dolo, Luuq (Gedo) and Dhobley (Lower Juba). Targets and minimum capacity benchmarks will be subject to change should general food distributions by partners begin in the above areas (i.e. should GFD start, wet feeding will be phased out in close coordination with partners). 8 Target revised, based on previous experience with the new Blanket Supplementary Feeding Programme and in line with UNICEF capacity, to a cumulative number of households that will receive at least one monthly food ration. 9 Number reflects households reached with at least one distribution since January This does not mean that each household was reached on a monthly basis.

Since January 2012, UNICEF has dispatched a total of 3,713 health kits (consisting of medicines, medical consumable items, and equipment incl. Interagency Emergency Health kits, HC Kits, PHU Kits, Midwifery Kits, Infusion Kits, Diarrhoeal Disease Set Packs, and Village Health Worker Kits (iccm)) across all 11 regions of CSZ. 16 Revised targets based on planned CHD and campaigns (no routine/outreach EPI and static data which is only available quarterly) in accessible areas of south CSZ, considering access constraints and scale-down from famine targets (total of 4.1 million people in accessible planned areas - of which 18% are children aged 6 to 59 months) 17 Revised targets, based on planned CHD and campaigns (no routine/mobile EPI and static data which is only available quarterly) in accessible areas of CSZ, considering access constraints and scale-down from famine targets (total of 4.1 million people in accessible planned areas - of which 16% are children aged 12 to 59 months). 18 UNICEF has been consistently distributing two ITNs per family since 2008; in 2011 a total of 118,185 nets were distributed across Somalia. 19 Applicable for the following regions identified for ITN distributions: Hiraan, Lower and Middle Shabelle, Lower Juba and Middle Juba. 20 The target was reduced as a result of access constraints, as well as the ban imposed on UNICEF and partners (eg. Lower and Middle Shabelles are still inaccessible) UNICEF Somalia Sitrep # 1 January /9

UNICEF s indicator for access to safe water includes both temporary and sustained interventions that can be added together, since the two interventions do not overlap. Results for UNICEF s temporary interventions do not include HHWT which instead falls under indicator 3 on means to practice good hygiene and HHWT ; while CLUSTER results for temporary water interventions include HHWT provision. 23 UNICEF target includes people in the south to be reached with new access to emergency water trucking/vouchers, new and on-going access to sustained water schemes and people benefiting from chlorination and O&M of water sources, as part of UNICEF s combined emergency and cholera response, excluding household water treatment and WASH in schools. 24 Results are based on partner ing from January 2012 to present. Results include people in the south reached with on-going and new access to emergency water trucking/vouchers, new and on-going access to sustained water schemes and people benefiting from chlorination and O&M of water sources and systems, as part of UNICEF s combined famine and cholera response, excluding household water treatment and WASH in schools. 25 end year revised CAP targets for access to safe water by any means for CSZ (sustained and temporary). 26 results for temporary interventions include provision of HHWT, as opposed to UNICEF results for temporary which do not include provision of HHWT. 27Results reflect cluster partner s for period Jan uary2012 to date. Note that the two results cannot be added as they significantly overlap. Temporary water interventions target areas where sustained water interventions have not been completed. In many cases a temporary water intervention is followed by a sustained intervention as an exit strategy. 28 revised CAP 2012 target for CSZ. 29 results are for period January 2012 to date for people newly accessing sanitation facilities. 30 This includes HHWT, hygiene kits and supplies distribution. Results are for Jan 2012 to present period. 31 target for 6 months (Jan-June 2012) which considers the population at high or medium risk of AWD/Cholera in CSZ to be reached with hygiene promotion interventions (both mass media outreach and direct participatory hygiene promotion training) 32 Results include both people reached through direct participatory hygiene promotion/training and people reached through mass media interventions.

Figures represent both children released and children at risk, with information disaggregated by age and sex to the extent possible. The targets are set for the three areas where the programme is active: Mogadishu, Dhusamareb, and Guriel (Galgaduud). Original targets were set based on partners capacity, funding availability and probability of children being released. 35 Timeframe for the cumulative target of 950 children is 1 July December 2012, from July-December 2011, 655 children were reached. 36 This represents the new target figure for 2012 based on an increase in the need for these programmes. 37 Out of this target of 1250, 950 children have already benefited from the Vocational Training Component of the community based reintegration programme and 5 from the Interim Care Centres available for children that fall within this target group. 38 UNICEF and the Child Protection Sub- are maintaining a target of ensuring that 100% of Unaccompanied and Separated Children who are identified are registered and referred to family-based care or an appropriate alternative, as per UNICEF s Core Commitments to Children in Humanitarian Action. 39 Identification and Documentation activities commenced in September 2011 with the above number of children identified. Tracing and reunification activities are on-going. 40 Estimated number of children to be reached through 353 CFS (planned jointly with Education), including three key border/ transit areas for IDPs, as well outreach through mobile teams. 41 Targets were not revised, in line with the strategy to phase out CFSs following the end of the famine crisis 42 UNICEF is no longer supporting CFSs in Somalia as of June Target is up to 30 April It reflects both scale-up and efforts with partners to (i) ensure activities are reoriented to align with communities targeted under the CFS component of UNICEF s response; (ii) ensure that communities mobilized are among those worst affected by the current crisis, and; (iii) include additional training of community mobilisers/child protection advocates on nutrition screening and mine-risk education for cross-programme and geographic convergence of interventions. Numbers of targeted communities has not changed for family separation, child recruitment or mine-risk-education, number has increased for GBV prevention and response. 44 Up to 30th April 2012, a total of 384 communities were providing these services meaning the target up referred to in footnote 43 was reached by the 30th April. The additional 100 communities represent the number of communities to be reached between June to December The reason the target was reduced for this period was in order to review, consolidate and strengthen this key programme during this period based on lessons learned from the previous period and in response to the needs of the communities and children in the zone. 45 This figure represents the number of women, girls and boys accessing services to prevent, mitigate and respond to GBV up to 31 December UNICEF Somalia Sitrep # 1 January /9
