4 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 longerterm 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 InterAgency 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. NonIASC members, such as national NGOs, can be included, and other key stakeholders in humanitarian action, in particular host governments 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 MidYear Review, is to be presented to donors in July 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 In sum, the CAP works to provide people in need the best available protection and assistance, on time.

7 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the midst of postconflict recovery and an improving political and security landscape despite isolated attacks by the last remaining rebel group, the key challenge for humanitarian actors has been to ensure a gradual and effective transition from humanitarian response to establishing sustainable solutions to meet the basic needs of vulnerable persons. The launch of a governmental Emergency Program in February 2006 with a focus on provision of basic services, food security, and reintegration support, has been an important landmark in this effort. However, the need for continued humanitarian assistance is highlighted by weak national structures and delivery capacity; food insecurity triggered by consecutive poor harvests in 2005 and 2006; constant population movement in the region due to insecurity and food shortages; and seasonal floods. Key achievements in the first six months of 2006 include the response to poor harvests and high levels of food insecurity through the distribution of 45,000 MT of food aid and the provision of seeds and tools to over 450,000 households. Agencies and NGOs also provided critical support to the local and national authorities in implementing key decisions on free health care for mothers and children and free primary education: As such, Essential Care Packages (ECP) were distributed to 210 health centres in ten provinces and temporary and permanent learning spaces were provided to help absorb a record 494,448 first grade pupils. Further, agencies responded to the influx of nearly 20,000 Rwandan asylumseekers and the return of 13,000 rejected Burundian asylumseekers, assuring their protection and assistance in line with international conventions. The humanitarian community is also preparing for scenarios regarding population movements including the possible influx of Congolese refugees during the electoral process in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the prospect of a massive return of Burundian refugees from the United Republic of Tanzania following the shift from facilitation to promotion of voluntary repatriation. Crucially, the Midyear Review was for the first time conducted jointly with the Government of Burundi, which meant a significant revision of existing humanitarian coordination mechanisms to match the changed institutional setting. It is of utmost importance for the humanitarian community to support the Government s overall capacity for coordination, planning, resource mobilisation and response. Humanitarian response still represents an important component of the global peace consolidation process by stabilising populations and mitigating their exposure to humanitarian needs such as sudden food insecurity and epidemics. The priorities for the remainder of 2006 are: Strengthen and support early warning and response mechanisms to populations at risk; Support Government policies in basic services provision with an emphasis on life saving activities; Support process of transition from relief to development with an emphasis on shortterm programmes on reinsertion and community recovery in anticipation of Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) implementation; Continuous monitoring and promotion of human rights and strengthening of institutional accountability of the governmental security bodies. The MidYear Review of the 2006 Consolidated Appeal has a revised requirement of US$ 1 123,012,389. A total of $30,729,677, which represents approximately 25% of the requested funds, has been committed to date, leaving unmet requirements of $92,282, All dollar figures in this document are United States dollars. Funding for this plan should be reported to the Financial Tracking Service (FTS, fts@reliefweb.int), which will display its requirements and funding, continually updated, on the CAP 2006 page. 1

8 2. CHANGES IN THE CONTEXT AND HUMANITARIAN CONSEQUENCES 2.1 CONSOLIDATION OF THE PEACE The first six months of 2006 have been marked by efforts by the authorities to produce quick impact in the areas of security, basic services provision and a general orientation towards development, notably through the Emergency and Rehabilitation Programme However, as delivery of the programme was hampered by a lack of human and financial resources and weak institutional capacities, most of its projects have not yet been initiated except for the support to primary education. The Government called for the last remaining rebel group the Forces of National Liberation (FNL) to enter into talks in late Since then and into the first quarter of 2006, the Burundian Army (FDN) conducted a robust military strategy against the FNL particularly in Bujumbura Rural. The civilian population has been caught in the middle, with both government and rebel forces accusing them of supporting the other. This has resulted in an increase in human rights abuses ranging from arbitrary detention and various human rights violations by the FDN, the National Intelligence Service and National Police to lootings, taxes extortions and summary executions by FNL. The FDN strategy has resulted in a number of arrests of FNL and voluntary surrenders, and has reduced the capacity of the FNL forces, which retain a presence in the Kibira forest and rear bases in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). On 29 May, a government delegation and FNL leaders begun talks in DaresSalaam, facilitated by the South African Government. Until an agreement is reached, the civilian population of BujumburaRural, Bubanza and Cibitoke will continue to suffer from insecurity and remain a major humanitarian concern. In 2005, the Government announced free primary education and, in May 2006, the provision of free health care to pregnant women and children under the age of 5 years. These decrees have clearly set a new standard for access to basic services, albeit with weak financial and institutional capacity for its implementation. In the education sector, although an additional 59,208 pupils were able to attend school, 168,597 could not be accommodated due to the lack of schools and teachers. As for the health sector, hospitals and health centres are in great difficulty meeting the costs as their monthly budget covers only half the month. Given the immense gaps in the provision of basic services in Burundi, it is crucial to support these initiatives to combat structural vulnerability, and decrease the need over time for humanitarian assistance. The Government of Burundi, with significant support from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has also developed a national response plan to avian influenza, which is expected to come into force in July The United Nations Mission in Burundi (UNOB) was tasked by the Security Council to begin the gradual withdrawal of its military component over the course of the year. By April the military contingents and their equipment had been reduced by 40%. All human rights provincial field offices were reduced to a monitoring capacity and as of May UNOB only operates in BujumburaMairie, BujumburaRural, Bubanza and Cibitoke. Key activities remain demobilisation, disarmament and reintegration (DDR); security sector reform (SSR), which includes strengthening the newly integrated police force; transitional justice and human rights. As a result of the drawdown, UNOB is no longer able to provide the same level of support to humanitarian activities such as transport, military escorts or engineering support. In May 2006 the SecretaryGeneral (SG) sent a highlevel mission to discuss with the Government, the parameters of the proposed postunob United Nations (UN) presence in Burundi. This is likely to be an Integrated Office continuing activities in the aforementioned areas, but has yet to be authorised by the Security Council. 2.2 UNEXPECTED HUMANITARIAN DEVELOPMENTS The first six months of 2006 have seen a number of unexpected humanitarian developments. Firstly, the regional drought affected an already fragile situation in Burundi, where household vulnerability due to years of conflict is combined with extreme poverty. An evaluation of the 2006A harvest conducted by FAO, the World Food Programme (WFP), the United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF), the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the Ministry of Agriculture in January 2006 showed that the Northern part of Kirundo province, Southeastern part of Muyinga province, Cankuzo province and Moso region of Ruyigi province were the most droughtaffected areas. Accordingly, a large scale response was initiated: WFP distributed about 45,000 metric tonnes (MTs) of food aid in the first six months while FAO and its partners provided agricultural assistance to over 450,000 2

9 households. Despite these actions, 68% of the Burundian population remains borderline food insecure making them highly susceptible to climatic shocks such as drought, torrential rains and crop diseases. 16% of the population remains chronically food insecure. The root causes of this chronic food insecurity include erratic macroclimatic conditions; crop diseases; the lack of agricultural inputs and functioning rural infrastructures; land shortage; and lack of farming, food processing and stocking skills. Standard coping strategies include change of diet (i.e. cutting meals), debt, displacement in order to find work, and separation of families as children are sent away to be temporarily taken care of by relatives or friends. It should be noted that, since FAO started its records in the 1993, the production during the 2006A season was at its lowest point (in terms of kcal per person). In comparison with the same season last year production dropped by 12%. Whilst households are increasingly dependent on purchase of food (45%70% depending on the province), market prices are on the rise with the purchasing power of the population on the decrease. Secondly, population movements posed a particular challenge to humanitarian actors. On the one hand repatriation of Burundian refugees fell well short of the projection with only 4,745 refugees returning between January and midjune. On 20 and 21 March a decision was made by the Tripartite Commission for the Voluntary Repatriation of Burundian Refugees to shift from facilitation to promotion from 20 June 2 On the other hand the influx of Rwandan asylum seekers peaked in the first two months of the year and stabilised by late March; with around 19,000 sheltered in the sites of Musasa, Songore and Rwisuri (Ngozi and Kirundo province). Various partners including the International Rescue Committee (IRC), Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ), Médecins sans Frontières (MSF), Africa Humanitarian Action (AHA), Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), Action Contre la Faim (ACF) as well as WFP and UNOB intervened in support of UNHCR to respond to the situation. Refugee Status Determination is still ongoing and the first small group of accepted refugees was transferred to a site in Rutana in April. In May and June significant voluntary returns to Rwanda were registered which enabled agencies to close one of the three sites (Rwisuri). Furthermore, around 13,000 Burundians left to Tanzania in November 2005 as a result of increasing food insecurity. Majority voluntarily returned to Burundi in early April following a decision by the Tripartite Commission to provide assistance. Agencies managed to provide some assistance to this population who returned largely to Ruyigi province. (See story below). Beatrice IDP and Refugee all at once? My name is Beatrice Kamatame I am 36 years old and a mother of 6 children. My youngest is a baby of 1 week. I am from Marembo in Kirundo but I had to flee to Gisuru in Ruyigi province because there was not enough food in Kirundo province. I left my home on 3 April When I arrived in Kabuyenge (Ruyigi) in December 2005 the situation was so bad that I decided to leave for Tanzania with my children where we received assistance in a UNHCR transit site. When the Governments decided to return the réfugiés de la famine we were brought back to Kabuyenge on 2 April Our situation is very difficult since we don t have shelter or food. We are now living off irregular assistance and odd jobs. I do not have the money to send my children to school. When one of us falls ill, I cannot even afford the subsidised costs of health care (i.e.1020 $ cents). Where should I take this money from? One of my children suffers from malnutrition but I cannot do anything about it, since I have no money. Despite all the difficulties, I still prefer dying here in Ruyigi than returning to Kirundo. We do not own a house or a plot and if we could ever afford it we would buy it here. UNHCR built some houses nearby. I hope the government or international organisations can do the same for us. (Recorded by OCHA Ruyigi on 1 July 2006) 2 World Refugee Day is celebrated on 20 June. 3

10 Finally, in late April and May 2006 a series of torrential rains and hail storms caused landslides, collapse of infrastructure and flooding in the marshlands, killing at least 46 people and rendering thousands vulnerable due to loss of either shelter, harvests or both. 2.3 TRANSITION TOWARDS DEVELOPMENT The statistics on Burundi show extreme levels of poverty and the continuing decline of the socioeconomic network and infrastructure. Notwithstanding the direct impact of ten years of conflict, there is an urgent need for Burundi to move away from the traditional pattern of rural subsistence agriculture practiced by the overwhelming majority of the population. Work on the PRSP, by the Government and its partners continued, and included a technical workshop in Bujumbura 2131 May 2006 aimed at integrating conflictrelated issues. The final PRSP is expected to be sent to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Boards, by September In line with the Rome and Paris Declaration, the UN Country Team has agreed to extend its programme cycle by one year (until December 2008) to align the existing UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) (200507) with the finalised PRSP, and in order to integrate the new elements of the followon mission into the revised UNDAF. The Government launched an Emergency Programme on 28 February to respond to urgent food insecurity, challenges in basic services provision and reintegration of waraffected populations. There were also significant components on budget support and good governance. Approximately, 50% of the resources requested through the CAP correspond with about 50% of the Emergency Programme. The Government also set up the National Committee of Aid Coordination (NCAC) in December 2005, making its Secretariat the main interlocutor for coordination. These efforts are again hampered by a lack of resources. Other Government transitiontodevelopment initiatives included the 14 March legislation, which brought into force the Ministry of National Solidarity, Human Rights and Gender, and the transfer of food donations within Burundi as part of the socalled National Solidarity Initiative in response to the drought. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) formalised the decentralisation of its programme to support the Rehabilitation/Reintegration of Affected Populations (Sinistrés) and Poverty Reduction (PRRSLP) with an emphasis on the Eastern and Southern provinces. It is pertinent to note that despite the shifting emphasis from humanitarian to development activities in Burundi highlighted above, such changes should be gradual and coordinated. Any abrupt changes would not only expose large parts of the population to increased vulnerability, but would also critically affect the chance to consolidate an ongoing fragile peace process. 4

11 3. REVIEW OF THE COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN (CHAP) Estimates by the lead agencies in the respective sectors shows that significant revisions were necessary within each sector despite little change in the overall needs. Due to the continued food insecurity and uncertainties ahead for peace and stability in Burundi, the number of returnees fell just over a third of the initial estimate of 150,000. Meanwhile, the volume of food aid (targeted distributions) from January to May has increased by 40% compared to the same period in Furthermore 455,000 households received seeds and agricultural assistance during the first five months, which represents 73% of annual projection. This reflects a stronger response in the first part of 2006 due to the very poor agricultural season 2006A and prolonged drought (see section 2.2 above). However food assistance is expected to decrease in the second half of Additionally, the needs in health have increased as the population tries to take advantage of the new laws, in utilising the available public health facilities. Gaps in the education sector over 160,000 pupils do not have access to primary education will be further exacerbated by the impact of the second year of surplus firstyear enrolment. Economic rehabilitation and recovery needs remain stable with a shift from humanitarian to postconflict actors taking the lead in the response. Finally, the response to protection issues will shift from the protection of civilians affected by armed conflict, towards human rights oriented capacity building and the establishment of rule of law. 3.1 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN Assessments and case studies carried out during the year adhered to the SPHERE guidelines and the InterAgency Standing Committee (IASC) Needs Analysis Framework (NAF). Evaluation of trends in the humanitarian context, and definition of strategic priorities and sector responses included in this Plan are based on the findings of these assessments and studies. The importance of a sustained humanitarian response can be better understood using two examples. Firstly, from the response to elevated food insecurity in 2006, it can be ascertained that the assistance seeds, tools, and food aid was provided in large quantities and in a timely manner. The combination in delivery of agricultural products and food aid made it possible for households to plant for the 2006B agricultural season, rather than resorting to common coping mechanisms such as the consumption of seeds. This shows that the structural vulnerability has to be combated through provision of assistance for the shortterm as well as supporting sustainability in the mediumlong term. Affected Population Statistics Refugees / Asylum Seekers 3 22,772 / 14,500 (est.) Returnees in ,745 IDP population 100,000 (est.) 4 PLWHA 150,000 5 Persons living on one meal per day (6 month average) 40% of the population NightDisplacement 6 3,000 (est.) The second example can be found in the health sector where localised epidemics are recurring. It is expected that towards the end of 2006 new outbreaks of cholera, closely linked to the provision of, and access to clean drinking water, will be registered. The reality is that 50% of the population do not have immediate access to clean water, and over 70% of the population do not have access to sanitation facilities. There is therefore an urgent need for response at the structural level aimed at improving the water and sanitation situation a sector that has been critically underrepresented and underfunded in Burundi for years. Until a significant improvement is recorded in this sector smallscale humanitarian responses will be required as lifesaving activities. The fundamental situation and challenges in Burundi remains unchanged albeit in a more conducive political environment. Overall, and in spite of peace consolidation in Burundi, there is still an increase in household vulnerability due to structural deficiencies. Priority needs for the remainder of 2006 are health and education, with a consistently and historically huge emphasis placed on food security. It should be noted that the initial CHAP took into consideration early recovery activities since no other appeal and tracking tool was available at the 3 Refugee / Returnee figures by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCR) Asylum Seeker population fluctuates due to spontaneous departures. 4 OCHA Burundi, based on 2005 internally displaced persons (IDP) survey and visits to IDP sites. 5 Based on the United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) extrapolations. 6 Based on regular OCHA missions to affected communes in Bujumbura Rural and Bubanza. 5

12 time. The timeframe of implementation of the PRSP process however, does not allow for durable impact on communities in the short and medium term. Whilst the Government s Emergency Programme intends to address some of the immediate priorities as also identified in the CAP, its comprehensive and timely implementation are still undermined by poor management and coordination capacities. Therefore the 2006 CAP continues to be the principal strategic tool for mobilising adequate resources to address both life saving and reintegration needs. 3.2 SCENARIOS Based on the Interagency contingency planning team (UN agencies, international nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) and humanitarian donors), five emergency profiles have been identified: Population Influx Triggers: Elections and continuation of uncontrolled militia activity in DRC; food insecurity in Rwanda; Operational objective: Assist 30,000 persons immediately (water, shelter, food, health, protection). Population Movement within Burundi Triggers: Continuing food insecurity and security problems due to FNLFDN clashes or intercommunal tensions; Operational objective: Ensure assistance to 140,000 persons initially over a twomonth period. Epidemics (cholera, malaria, meningitis) Triggers: Structural deficiencies and interdependence situations and potential arrival of avian influenza; The operational objective is different for each type of epidemic. Natural Disasters / Catastrophes Trigger: Increasing demographic pressure combined with lack of land and climatic disturbances as well as interdependence with other situations; Operational objective: Emergency assistance to between 200,000 and 500,000 persons. Mass Repatriation Trigger: Shift from facilitation to promotion in June 2006 and combination of push and pull factors; Operational objectives: Between 50,000 returnees per week and 300,000 returnees in one month. It should be noted that neither the Government nor the humanitarian actors with their current existing capacity can adequately address the gaps in the mass repatriation scenario. This lack of capacity will critically affect the quality of the response not only during the immediate phase of returns but also during the initial phase of reintegration with host communities. 3.3 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES Humanitarian action in Burundi has to address the immediate needs of the most vulnerable populations whilst providing support to community recovery and population reinsertion. The strategic priorities of the 2006 CHAP have been defined in consultation with UN agencies, national and international NGOs and donors as follows: Continuously monitor protection and human rights issues affecting the population, and promote human rights; Build and strengthen capacities for early warning and rapid response, to ensure that populations at risk are reached; Support the process of transition from relief to development with an emphasis on shortto mediumterm programmes which focus on population reinsertion and community recovery; Mitigate the effects of disparities between population groups and regions, especially with regard to access to basic services and resources at the household level. The context in Burundi requires an approach whereby humanitarian action focuses on both early warning and rapid response capacities. Early recovery and peace consolidation activities will play a significant role for the remainder of This process will be synchronised with development projects to link with the humanitarian response, and greater emphasis put on strengthening support to Government coordination capacities. The remainder of 2006 strategic priorities have been revised as follows: Strengthen and support early warning and response mechanisms to populations at risk; Support Government policies in basic services provision with an emphasis on life saving activities; 6

13 Support process of transition from relief to development with an emphasis on shortterm programmes on reinsertion and community recovery in anticipation of PRSP implementation; Continuous monitoring and promotion of human rights and strengthening of institutional accountability of the governmental security bodies. 3.4 SECTORAL ANALYSIS AND PROJECTIONS The revised CHAP and Strategic Priorities will result in adjustments in sectoral responses from the review process involving all humanitarian actors, as well as the respective ministries and the NCAC. Details are as follows: FOOD SECURITY, EMERGENCY AGRICULTURE AND NUTRITION The 2006B agricultural season, the best in three years did not suffer from the same climatic disturbances as the 2006A season. That said, about 15% of the harvests were destroyed by heavy torrential rains and floods in late April/ May In addition, food aid was reduced to an average of 5,000 MTs per month provided by WFP. This sector therefore requires continuous action through emergency agricultural activities and reinforcements in rural rehabilitation programmes. To adequately address these needs, FAO will support the short 2006C season, and begin preparations for the 2007A season (planting period) towards the end of the year. FAO and partners through the Système d'alerte PrecoceSurveillance de la Sécurité Alimentaire (SAPSSA) network will continue the food security and early warning monitoring. Finally, a number of projects which were delayed as a result of the response to the drought situation in early 2006 will be taken up in the second half of 2006 and early Projects by NGOs such as ARM, Communita Impegno Servizio Volontariato (CISV) and Solidarités have been revised for the same reason. With no major changes in the volatile nutritional situation, UNICEF will continue its surveillance programme and monitor the Supplementary and Therapeutic Feeding Centres, which are supported by WFP. 7 WFP plans to update its 2004 Vulnerability Assessment (VAM) ACCESS TO BASIC SERVICES (EDUCATION AND HEALTH) Education The Government s capacity to respond to the increased needs remains limited. With support from major donors, the World Bank, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and UNICEF, an education sector plan is being developed and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. UNICEF and UNESCO will continue to respond to the increasing needs that are reflected in the reviewed joint education project. The next school year s projected shortfalls include 4,973 classrooms, 313,808 benches and 3,608 teachers. This is due to the fact that the increased enrolment level of the school year will be rolled over into the second grade, whilst a similar number of first grade students are expected to present themselves at the beginning of the school year (September 2006). In the area of basic education, initiatives will continue to focus on: i) improving service delivery; ii) ensuring equal access to school and educational opportunities for all IDP and refugee children returning to their zones of origin as well as children in host communities; iii) providing additional temporary learning spaces and rehabilitating existing classroom units; iv) providing classroom equipment, teaching aids, and students kits; v) producing and distributing textbooks; and v) improving administrative capacities to deal with the prevailing context of free primary education. UNICEF will assist in the provisional enrolment of repatriated youth in primary schools closest to their places of origin, as well as ensure that students in the first cycle attend the communal colleges nearest to their commune of origin. Teacher training activities will be organised with the use of Accelerated Learning Methodologies, and community members with potential to be teachers will be identified and mobilised. In collaboration with UNICEF, UNESCO and UNHCR, the Ministry of Education is also identifying qualified teachers among returning refugees. UNESCO will support secondary education by providing textbooks and materials for 200,000 secondary school students and nonformal education and vocational training for 5,000 outofschool adolescents. In addition, UNESCO will ensure the professional upgrading of 2,000 secondary 7 Reported average monthly admissions are as follows: SFC is 12,200 in SFC; 1,200 in TFC 7

14 teachers. NRC will reinforce its teacher emergency programme, which has already helped to improve catchup rates and educational reintegration in the first half of Health In order to revitalise and restructure the health system, WHO will support the Ministry of Health (MoH) in the application of the National Health Development Plan. Initiatives in the health sector will increase as a result of the 1 May Presidential decree on free health care for children underfive years. 8 With a surge in the number of underfives seeking medical assistance, and the serious constraints facing the rest of the population, the Essential Care Package (ECP) 9 will increase in importance. It is worth noting that through the ECP initiatives at the decentralised level, WHO/UNICEF/UNHCR provided support to the health system to improve access to health care during the transition period. The project started in 210 health centres in the ten provinces that were expecting over 10,000 returnees (Muyinga, Ngozi, Kirundo, Karuzi, Ruyigi, Cankuzo, Gitega, Makamba, Rutana and Bururi). The project will be expanded in 2006 to start work in 106 health centres in the remaining six provinces of Bujumbura Rural, Mwaro, Kayanza, Muranvya, Cibitoke and Bubanza. The project includes: provision of medicines, renewable and equipment support for vaccinations and nutritional supplies; support during transit from Tanzania to the colline of origin including management of the health post at the transit sites, rehabilitation of health structures; sensitisation for reproductive health including prevention of Human Immunodeficiency Virus/ Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and gender based violence; and supervision of reproductive health activities. Health projects related to HIV/AIDS will be reduced in the CAP for the remainder of 2006, as HIV/AIDS is one of the priority areas of the PRSP. The project by Alliance Burundaise contre le Sida (ABS) has been withdrawn from the CAP and the project by Handicap International France (HIF) has been scaled down SHELTER, NONFOOD ITEMS AND WATER AND SANITATION The reintegration sector, which comprises shelter, nonfood items as part of repatriation, and water and sanitation, has undergone important changes. UNHCR will continue the voluntary repatriation of Burundian refugees, but gradually hand over related reintegration and reconstruction activities to UNDP and the United Nations Programme on Settlement (UNHABITAT). Whereas shelter construction by UNHCR in 2006 is in its final phase with a planned provision of 16,300 houses, the rehabilitation and construction of health centres and schools have been discontinued. UNHCR projects have therefore been significantly reduced; UNDP and UNHabitat projects on economic recovery and infrastructure have been delayed, but activities in the second half of the year will go ahead as planned. In addition, the limited number of returns in the first half of 2006 meant that activities in the sector focused on revitalising and restructuring coordination, rather than operational aspects. If the shift from facilitation to promotion of voluntary repatriation in June 2006 results in mass return, programmatic aspects will become important. This will be extremely challenging as the existing projects and resources will not be sufficient to assist returnees and host communities, or adequately support the Government of Burundi to effectively lead the response. There are limited activities in the area of water and sanitation, which is a chronically underfunded sector in Burundi. Certain activities will be addressed in greater detail through impending development frameworks, but projects such as the ones by ACF, the Catholic Organisation for Relief and Development (CORD) and CISV will be retained, as the needs in the sector remain acute. UNICEF will lead the sectoral coordination through its main project scheduled for execution in the second half of POPULATION MOVEMENTS Burundian Repatriation and Reintegration As a result of slow returns in the first six months, UNHCR has reduced its 2006 planning figure from 150,000 to 55,000. With the shift from facilitation to promotion of voluntary repatriation it is expected 8 Malaria, respiratory infections, diarrhoea and parasites, the main causes of morbidity in Burundi are now exempt from medical fees. 9 The ECP aims at reinforcing epidemiologic surveillance and supporting epidemic response through improving alert systems, as well as strengthening referral hospitals and rapid referral systems. 8

15 that some 50,000 Burundians will return between July and December This shift coincides with seasonal pull factors such as the beginning of the school year and the start of the planting season. Part of reintegration efforts includes plans to assist some 16,300 potential returnees in building their houses. 472 illegal Burundian immigrants some of whom had spent most of their lives in Tanzania were expelled in June. There are concerns that returns of this nature might occur in the remainder of the year. On the Government s side, an important change has been the disbanding of National Commission for the Reintegration of WarAffected Populations (CNRS), which stemmed from the Arusha Accords. This body has been replaced by the Project for the Support of the Repatriation and Reintegration of WarAffected Persons (PARESI), with limited but growing operational capacity. UNHCR s interaction and collaboration with this new structure will be an important aspect in the context of accelerating voluntary repatriation. Rwandan Asylum Seekers Following the high influx of asylum seekers in the first two months of 2006, bringing the population up to 19,000 in March, over 5,000 asylum seekers opted for repatriation and continue to show increasing willingness to return to Rwanda. Only 5% of the first group of asylum seekers were eligible for international protection under the 1951 Refugee Convention and 1969 Protocol after undergoing refugee status determination. Subsequently, UNHCR does not envisage a significant increase in activities in refugee assistance, but will provide protection and assistance to the asylum seekers for the duration of their stay and potential return. Two additional projects by NRC and Solidarités in support of the newly constructed sites in Northern Burundi reflect this decision. It is expected that, save for additional arrivals, the determination process will be completed before the end of the year MINE ACTION The United Nations Mine Action Coordination Centre (UNMACC) in collaboration with the Foundation for Swiss Demining (FSD) completed a comprehensive survey, which identified suspected zones of mines and MineRisk Education (MRE). These are mainly the Southeastern border stretch with Tanzania and areas in BujumburaRural and Bubanza. It was established that Burundi is less affected by mines, but has rather a significant number of unexploded ordnances. An estimated 4% of the country is considered as affected areas, which require involvement; there are no minefields. Danish Church Aid (DCA) will complement its ongoing demining activities, with additional activities, although an increasing emphasis will be put on involving the Government of Burundi. Changes in the sector will include the official handover of UNMACC activities to UNDP on 30 June, rendering UNDP the only lead agency in the sector. In addition, the Government, supported by UNDP will assume ownership of the overall coordination through the National Centre of Humanitarian Action against Mines (CENAHMI). Revisions of the project reflect these changes as well as the downsizing and reorientation of projects in the sector PROTECTION AND HUMAN RIGHTS The Government of Burundi is in the process of passing legislation and restructuring institutions in the area of protection, human rights and rule of Total Number of IDPs in Burundi (est) Year law. This area requires significant support and advocacy from humanitarian actors. Concerns remain regarding the respect of human rights and international humanitarian law due to extortions and looting by the FNL on the one hand and on the other hand, abuse perpetrated by the army, intelligence services and members of the police during pursuits of rebels. Progress in this area is inextricably linked with the outcome of the ongoing peace negotiations in DaresSalaam. Another particularly important area that will be strengthened in the (potential) UN Integrated (Source: UNHCR and OCHA) Office in 2007 is transitional justice. Discussions continue on the creation of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission for Burundi, as there is an apparent need to generally promote a human rights culture and accountability amongst the general public and authorities. In early 2006, UNOB Human Rights Section and the Office for the Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in Burundi merged into one entity. In light of the refocus in challenges and priorities, UNDP 9

16 and OHCHR have placed additional emphasis on advocacy activities and general support to legal framework activities. Even though the objectives and outlines of the projects changed, only the project aimed at training for law and order bodies in Burundi, was revised in terms of funding. It should be noted that the action plan for the response to internal displacement, drafted by OCHA, is currently awaiting validation by authorities and humanitarian partners. It is expected that the plan will be adopted before the end of the year. A comprehensive action plan will also have a positive impact on return, which has been low in comparison to recent years COORDINATION MECHANISMS AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT In light of the Government s Emergency Programme, coordination mechanisms and structures will be revisited in the second half of 2006 to achieve better complementarities if not synergies. The NCAC (including thematic groups) presided over by its Secretariat, met for the first time in May. These thematic groups have been considered the best way to integrate CAP structures and priorities into existing governmental structures. As the existing CAP structures are to a large extent working well, an integration of coordination mechanisms will have to take into account the operational challenges of the various NCAC bodies. These challenges must be overcome, as the overall objective is to ensure government ownership and direction of the coordination structures. A key benchmark in this process is the fact that the CAP review workshop was cochaired by the NCAC. Next steps in 2006 include the establishment of NCAC antennas in the field, which can be integrated in the provincial focal point coordination structure. However, the NCAC coordination mechanisms at central level have encountered financial and institutional difficulties, and thus prevented an immediate transition of coordination structures. It will be vital in the remainder of 2006 to operationalise the NCAC coordination mechanisms and to integrate them with existing structures. In this regard UNDP s antenna offices in five provinces will also assume a more significant coordination role, particularly since they are located in areas where transition programmes and projects are most important. Coordination levels will be maintained with local and provincial level coordination feeding into thematic consultations on a national level. Both are conducted on a monthly basis. Results from these technical consultations and exchanges feed into the Humanitarian Committee (the IASC country team and Donor forum), which is mandated to take executive decisions on humanitarian activities in Burundi. Finally, with significant improvements in road access and a reduction in security incidents, WFP will discontinue its air service from August

17 4. FUNDING AND PROJECTS The initial CAP for Burundi in 2006 came to $129,407,889. As of 23 June $30,729,677 (or 25%) were recorded as contributions and commitments via the Financial Tracking System. The revised requirement comes to $123,012,389. Food Aid provided by WFP is part of a regional programme (PRRO), which is funded and appealed for at regional level through the Great Lakes CAP. Underfunded priority sectors include health and economic recovery and infrastructure. There is a need to fund priority sectors to ensure that particularly structural vulnerability can be countered in facing up to challenges particularly in health, education and food security. During the review process, two projects were removed from the CAP and three new projects were added. A total of 24 projects were revised. The Burundi CAP 2006 was the second of its kind to include national NGOs involved in a number of key areas. However, funding has been negligible for these projects. None of the 13 projects submitted by national NGOs received funding, even though at this juncture it is particularly important to support Burundian civil society activities. In June the Humanitarian Coordinator submitted three projects for extraordinary support from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for a combined total of $2.1 million. Approval from the CERF Secretariat is still pending and the preallocated sum has not been factored into these calculations.

20 5. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the overall CHAP needs have not changed significantly, although important adjustments within sectors were made to support the transition from relief to development and to streamline projects to the new policies of the Government of Burundi. The priority areas for the remainder of the year are food security, education and health. Repatriation has decreased in importance and will remain lower than expected, unless the shift towards promotion of voluntary returns yields immediate results. In the medium term and beyond the end of 2006, the main challenge is to improve the structural vulnerability of the Burundian population. This can, and will be done through increasing development activities, particularly with the inauguration of the PRSP in However, such activities will take some time to show results and minimal humanitarian activities to absorb shocks will be important to the Burundian population for the foreseeable future. Whether such humanitarian action is to be coordinated under a framework and whether this framework should be the CAP or the CHAP will be subject to discussions among humanitarian partners and the Government of Burundi for the remainder of the year. It is important to aim the framework to be decided upon, at supporting a global governmental humanitarian and recovery plan for elements, which are not part of development framework strategies. This should also include the areas of coordination, cooperation and capacity building. In this area continued humanitarian action with and through the Government of Burundi will be a significant contribution towards lifesaving activities, and thus contribute to the consolidation of the peace. 14

Approximately 70% of forest areas are burned every year in Ruyigi, Cankuzo and Rutana provinces. At present, more than 200,000 households (IDPs and returning refugees) are or will come back to their lands, bringing about additional needs for timber and cooking fuel. This project is aimed at strengthening small animal breeding, river basin development and marsh rehabilitation, distribution of seeds, tools, and forest and agroforest seedlings to facilitate the reinstallation of returning refugee and IDPs households. Initially, such assistance will be mainly focused on the provinces where population return flows are larger, most notably Ruyigi, Makamba, Rutana, Cankuzo, Bururi, and Gitega. Following a participatory approach, the project includes a training component to promote the involvement of local uneducated youth and demobilised former combatants. Main indicators for project impact evaluation will be: number of returning families and local communities assisted; quantity of forest and agroforest seedlings distributed; number of training sessions; and number of associations of uneducated/demobilised young people established.

The judicial administration, the Police and the Penitentiary, some of the pillars of the longdesired peace, have long been dysfunctional due to, inter alia, weak levels of training of its staff. In the framework of the Arusha Accord for Peace and National Reconciliation, new management and agents who need a law and human rights training have at present been appointed. In the framework of peacebuilding and national reconciliation, and considering the realities in the field where conflicts and violence are still widespread, while the majority of the population is insufficiently informed about the judicial organisation and competences in Burundi, it is timely to train auxiliary lawyers at the communal level. These auxiliary lawyers can guide and counsel civilians, divulge human rights principles and documents in order to ensure equitable justice for all and to install a human rights culture. Moreover, given the recent developments in the country, it is essential to organise a general conference on the state of the judicial system, in order to identify and/or refocus priorities in this field. Regarding the police, the new National Police, which comprises elements from the ancient police and new elements from former combating movements, is currently accused of committing many human rights violations and abuses. This is also the case for to a lesser extent, of the National Intelligence. With respect to the penitentiary, its staff needs continuous training in human rights to ensure that the vulnerable categories they re entrusted with have their rights protected within the new context. With a view to curbing the above mentioned crimes and abuses, and secure better respect for the human rights of the most vulnerable groups, members of the National Police, the National Intelligence and the Penitentiary will be sensitised and trained in human rights in general, and more specifically in matters most related to their everyday work.

This situation is the consequence of the ravage of wars but also the existence of remnants such as illegal flow of weapons that endangers the fragile peace building process. Burundi is taking part of various international instruments to fight against the proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons. In addition to its full involvement in the subregional Nairobi Protocol process, the country is strengthening its cooperation with the DRC and Rwanda within a close partnership framework in fighting Small arms and light weapons circulation. One important action undertaken is the harmonisation of national legislation in compliance with the resolutions adopted at the subregional and international level. As part of the following actions to its commitment, the Burundian Government has tried to elaborate a new law on arms regulations. This work is to be completed. It concerned only the main legal text of 1971, which was proved to be limitative due to the lack of adequate resources. As a support to the reinforcement of the legal framework, the UNDP is considering to assist with an overall work on the texts. This operation will permit in a first time to harmonise the Law on arms regulation with the Burundian international commitments. The second step will consist in drafting all subsequent arrangements necessary to the enforcement of the Law.
