1 Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard (issued on 20 December 2017) SITUATION OVERVIEW The unprecedented drought and conflict have resulted in severe and growing humanitarian needs, according to the Humanitarian Needs Overview released on 29. Over 6.2 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and protecon, half of these require urgent life-saving assistance. This includes 866,000 people in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) as of 2017, reflecng a sharp spike in the number of most vulnerable people, up from 83,000 people in Emergency in January More than one-third of those in need are internally displaced persons (IDPs). Humanitarians connue to reach over three million people per month with life-saving assistance and livelihood support. However, with humanitarian needs growing, famine prevenon efforts need to be sustained into 2018, alongside scaling up of livelihoods support to prevent populaons at risk from sliding deeper into food insecurity. Early funding next year, to support the 2018 Humanitarian Response Plan, will be crical to enable humanitarian partners to sustain the current life-saving efforts.

2 Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard (issued on 20 December 2017) CAMP COORDINATION and CAMP MANAGEMENT (CCCM) 1,816 Number of displacement sites identified Sep-Nov 1,600 Sites targeted 511 Site reached May-Nov Number of sites with established CCCM mechanisms Improve the living conditions and protection of IDPs in sites and settlements and ensure access to services and assistance of all persons in need, with a focus on moving toward attaining durable solutions with full participation of the displaced and host communities. 2.1 million people are displaced throughout Somalia and are in need of assistance. Over 1.1 million new internal displacements have occurred since 1 January 2017 due to drought (876,000 individuals) and conflict/insecurity (188,000 individuals). The cluster prioritizes the regions with high displacements: Bay (Baidoa), Banadir (Mogadishu), Mudug (Gaalkacyo), Gedo (Doolow), Lower Juba (Kismayo) and Lower Shabelle (Afgooye), and will expand to Somaliland and Puntland. The immediate needs include water, emergency shelter, sanitation facilities, food, and nutrition. The CCCM cluster partners mobilized community engagement and monitoring of service provision in IDP settlements, and are implementing activities, in Kismayo, Garowe, Baidoa, Galgaduud, Gaalkacyo, Afgooye and Doolow. These activities include coordination of services, communication with communities, monitoring of services, community governance, site maintenance and improvement and capacity building. Detailed Site Assessments are being conducted in 34 districts to inform humanitarian response. The CCCM cluster partners have assessed service delivery and their quality at the 1,816 IDP settlements in 14 regions (Banadir, Bari, Bay, Gedo, Galgaduud, Hiraan, Lower Juba, Lower Shabelle, Middle Shabelle, Mudug, Nugaal, Sool, Togdheer and Woqooyi Galbeed) so far reaching around 1.5 million IDPs. This provides the CCCM cluster with baseline information to enhance multi-sectoral integrated humanitarian response together with IDP communities towards active participation, self-reliance and governance. Restricted humanitarian access in some parts of southern and central Somalia. Lack of information on service provision at site level. Lack of land tenure and forced evictions inhibit partners ability to improve living conditions in sites. Low levels of community participation and AAP inhibit ability to improve beneficiary targeting to include marginalized populations. For more information, contact: kziga@iom.int

3 Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard (issued on 20 December 2017) EDUCATION 528,000 school children in need 210,711 children targeted Number of school-going children accessing safe drinking water in schools 117,507 children targeted Number of school-going children provided with food/food grants 239,806 children targeted Number of school-going children provided with Teaching and Learning Materials 249,733 children targeted 185,713 children reached Jan-Nov 87,855 children reached Jan-Nov 188,068 children reached Jan-Nov 266,308 children reached Jan-Nov Number of school children reached with Education in Emergencies Assistance (EiE) Ensure emergency and crisis-affected children have access to safe and protective learning environments, and are engaged in life-saving learning. Number of school going children provided with teaching and learning materials (cumulative) Over 2.4 million school-aged children are in IPC phases 2 and 4 and have been displaced since 2016 due to drought and conflict. Displaced and vulnerable children require access to basic services, including education. By, over 266,000 learners were reached with education in emergencies support. Of these, 185,000 were reached with safe drinking water and 188,000 with teaching and learning materials. Efforts to ensure children remain in schools continued. The latest SHF allocation is targeting some of the areas which have received the most IDPs and partners will shortly reach people with an integrated package of support including access to education for children and further expansion of education services in selected IDP sites. Early funding for next year is required to sustain ongoing project as lack of funding may see 70,000 children dropping out of school due to lack of funding. $8.4M is required to retain these children in school.

4 Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard (issued on 20 December 2017)) FOOD SECURITY 6.2 million Improved immediate access to food for people in emergency and crisis. Provide emergency livestock assets protection support. Number of with improved access to food and safety nets (per month) 3,218,700 2,668,984 Number of through activities geared towards improving access to food and safety nets per month 1,541,767 Number of through livelihood investment and asset creation activities per month 3,416,210 People targeted by end of season 211,352 2,739,393 August- Number of through livelihood inputs and livestock asset protection Immediate access to food for populations affected by drought, conflict (displacement) and disease to avert famine and improve the food security situation in Somalia. Support to drought affected populations to protect their livelihoods, enable local food production and prevent adoption of crisis strategies. Food assistance, cash combined with livelihood support ( Cash+ ) and conditional transfers were predominant FSC response to ensure immediate access to food to affected population in Somalia. The seasonal inputs and livestock assets protection support complemented access to food support. Twenty-three FSC partners contributed to multiple responses. The Improved Access to Food and Safety Net (IASN) assistance by partners collectively reached 2,668,984 people out of 3.2 million targeted (83 per cent of target). Reach decreased to 442,000 beneficiaries compared to October. All regions of Somalia have experienced some level reduction in IASN response as compared to October (though level of response is still above 50 per cent of the cluster target) except for Awdal, Bay, Hiraan and Mudug were slight increase in IASN response observed. The decline in response reported by FSC partners are worrying during this critical time where extreme food insecurity outlook is projected by FEWSNET. Cash or voucher constitutes 79 per cent of the total beneficiaries assisted with unconditional assistance while 21 per cent received in-kind (food distributions of various type). WFP accounts for 64 per cent followed by CWW and DRC (6 per cent each) in terms of number of beneficiaries assisted 2017 with unconditional assistance Conditional assistance continued reaching 211, 352 people (14 per cent of the target) out of the 1,541,767 targeted. Unconditional assistance is steady compared to October with FSC partners in Awdal, Banadir, Galgaduud, Mudug, Sanaag and Togdheer regions reporting slight increase in LA response. FAO (36 per cent), WFP (23 per cent) and Oxfam (13 per cent) accounts for the bulk of the conditional transfers reported FSC partners scaled up Livestock Assets Protection and Seasonal Inputs Support to reach 339,635 beneficiaries and increased the level of support to 2,739,393 million beneficiaries cumulatively since the Dyer season started (80 per cent of the seasonal target). FAO accounts for 73 per cent of the response under this objective followed by Save the Children and Nomadic Assistance for Peace and Development (11 per cent each). The livestock assets protection support account for 60 per cent of the beneficiaries supported in this response objective. Livestock feed/ fodder distribution (rangeland cubes) and livestock treatment were the main activities of the livestock asset protection. The distribution of agricultural input, land preparation support with tractor hour s account for about 40 per cent of beneficiaries support.

5 Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard (issued on 20 December 2017) The number of reporting partners and associated levels of FSC responses have declined after a substantial increase in September and October due depleting financial resources. With most funding ending in December, further decline in response is anticipated and may impact the gain made this year. Insecurity, especially in part of Banadir, Bakool, Bay, Middle Juba and Lower Shabelle regions hinder humanitarian access to the most vulnerable populations. For more information, contact: mulugeta.shibru@fao.org HEALTH 5.5 million The cluster is targeting vulnerable people for improved health care, with a focus on life-saving services including timely and adequate response to disease outbreaks and epidemics. Number of people receiving primary and/or basic health care (per month) 358,333 people targeted in 265,795 Number of people receiving primary and/or basic secondary health care Some 5.5 million people are in urgent need of emergency health services. The new AWD/cholera cases remain low through Somalia for the past three months. After showing a steady decline for about 14 consecutive weeks starting from week 24, the number of suspected measles cases are rising in recent weeks. Some 21,100 cumulative cases of suspected measles have been reported from all regions since January this year. 83 per cent of these are children under 10 years. The most affected regions include Banadir (5,143 cases) Togdheer (2,767 cases), Mudug (2,258 cases) Lower Shebelle (1,899 cases), and Bari (1,793). WHO in collaboration with MoH trained 250 community health volunteers on management of AWD/Cholera in 6 highrisk districts of Banadir and one high-risk district in Dhobley of Lower Jubba. And another 25 health workers and laboratory staff were trained in stool sample collection and analysis using Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT). Pre-positioning of 220 tons of medical supplies including Diarrheal Disease Kits is under way to strategic hotspot districts in south central Somalia. Rapid Response team from WHO/MoH surveillance teams deployed in districts of Galgaduud, Lower Jubba and Middle Shabelle to verify alerts of outbreaks. Most of these alerts were false. The planned mass measles vaccination campaign in Nov-Dec was deferred to January Health partners, in coordination with MoH and support from UNICEF, distributed over 85,000 long-lasting insecticidal nets to 24,987 IDP households in Kismayo. Preparations for similar distributions are underway to contribute to the reduction in morbidity and mortality rates due to malaria in Somalia by reducing vector-human contact. IERT s continue to be active delivering life-saving integrated health wash and nutrition response to reach and vulnerable populations.

6 Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard 2017 (issued on 20 December Limited funding continues to hamper delivery of life-saving health services to most vulnerable people including children and IDPs in Somalia. Inaccessibility of some areas because of insecurity is affecting delivery of basic health services to affected communities and has led to some partners to temporarily suspending non-essential activities. Significant gaps in mass casualty management which requires strengthening referral support, increase trauma and surgical supplies, blood transfusion services and capacity development particularly in Mogadishu. Need to support strengthening of sub-national cold chain hubs to facilitate routine immunization. For more information, contact: LOGISTICS 96% of service requests completed Access remains limited due to insecurity and infrastructure deterioration and is affecting the delivery of assistance. In collaboration with UNHAS, two WFP cargo planes of 5.5MT capacity each are positioned in Mogadishu to facilitate the airlift of humanitarian supplies throughout the country. In 2017, the Logistics Cluster has facilitated the transportation by air of 700MT of relief supplies 18 destinations on behalf of thirteen partners, including the Government of Somalia. In 2017, more than 2,200MT of humanitarian supplies have been transported on behalf of nine partners by road and sea into and throughout Somalia. The Logistics cluster through WFP is providing over 12,000cbm of storage capacity in six locations on behalf of three humanitarian partners. In 2017, an average of 2,000 passengers per month from over 150 agencies flew to and within Somalia with UNHAS. In 2017, UNHAS has covered 12 regular destinations on a scheduled basis and reached 17 new locations on an ad hic basis, allowing the humanitarian community to serve beneficiaries in more remote areas of Somalia. The Logistics Cluster is working closely with humanitarians to identify solutions to navigate access limitations, including the rehabilitation of airstrips. The Logistics Cluster is facilitating Logistics Trainings throughout Somalia to enhance capacity at the national level and pave the way for a well-established government leadership. Due to security, mainly affecting southern and central Somalia, and the deteriorating infrastructure, a number of key operational areas remain only accessible by air while others are completely inaccessible.

7 Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard (issued on 20 December 2017) 2.2 million Improved nutrition status and access to nutrition services for emergency affected populations through predictable, timely, effective and at scale response thereby enhancing resilience. 342,122 Children /women targeted 382,556 reached Number of children under age 5 and pregnant and lactating women treated for malnutrition Number of children under age 5 and pregnant and lactating women treated for malnutrition from per month 132,943 targeted 8,306 reached Number of children under age 5 and pregnant and lactating women admitted for treatment for malnutrition per month 1,155,000 targeted 921,065 reached in Number of children under age 5, pregnant and lactating women admitted since the beginning of the year 1,430,223 targeted 442,385 reached Number of children under age 3 and pregnant and lactating women reached with malnutrition prevention per month Malnutrition rates have remained high with a GAM rate of 17.4 per cent while 3.2 per cent of the children under five are severely malnourished. The number of children projected to be malnourished are about 1.2 million, out of which about 231,000 are in IDP camps. These children are at risk of life threatening nutrition situation coupled with likelihood of infections like AWD, cholera and measles. In the month of, the nutrition cluster targeted to admit about 132,000 children under five, pregnant and lactating women and treat about 342,000 children under five, pregnant and lactating women for malnutrition. The cluster also targeted to provide preventive nutrition services to 1,400,000 beneficiaries (new cases as well as cases already in program) in. In, over 8,300 children under five years and lactating women were admitted for treatment for acute malnutrition. Cumulatively 1,001,666 new cases were admitted for severe acute malnutrition and moderate acute malnutrition out of 1,155,000. This is about 94 per cent of the annual target. Cluster partners also treated 382,556 beneficiaries for acute malnutrition and reached 442,385 beneficiaries with nutrition preventive services including Blanket Supplementary Feeding Programme, Maternal Child Health and Nutrition and Infant and Young Child Feeding interventions. Access remains a challenge, particularly in Middle Juba and Bay region (Berdale, Dinsoor and Qansadheer). Low immunization coverage and high morbidity result in increased admissions in treatment centers. Limited healthcare services, chronic dietary diversity and poor child-care practices have contributed to deterioration of nutrition situation across the country.

8 Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard (issued on 20 December 2017) PROTECTION 2 million Provide effective and quality protection services to women, men, girls, and boys affected by conflict and emergencies, and strengthen protection policy. Beneficiaries reached through Protection Cluster activities (per month) 1.8 million 46,494 Number of through protection cluster services per month Conflict continue to affect civilians in Lower Shabelle (around Afgooye), leading to displacement of 7,000 individuals. In the last week of October conflict displaced 1,500 individuals towards Balad town in Middle Shabelle and 3, 000 towards Mogadishu. Some displacement due to armed conflict was also recorded in Bay region, affecting 500 individuals. Tensions along the contested Puntland Galmudug border resulted in a similar number of individuals being displaced within Mudug region. Increased use of aerial bombardments has been recorded in Middle Shabelle impacted heavily on the civilians. Concerns for civilians related to explosive hazards remain present throughout conflict-affected areas, with the unpredictable security situation resulting in a potential exacerbation of the problem. Child Protection AOR Partners reached 7,943 drought-affected/ displaced persons with various CP prevention and response services. The GBV sub-cluster partners reached 11,736 beneficiaries. GBV response services include life-saving medical assistance including the post rape treatment, temporary protection accommodation for GBV survivors, legal, psychosocial, material and livelihood assistance. It is worth mentioning that the under-reporting of GBV cases in some communities is attributed to cultural norms and social stigma for survivors. Housing, Land and Property sub-cluster reached 4,284 persons through prevention of forced evictions, community dispute settlement, advocacy, and counselling responses. Explosive Hazard sub-cluster partners continued working throughout Somalia conducting risk education, mine clearance, survey and marking, peace building and conflict resolution. The EH partners have reached 21,144 individuals including women and children. PC partners also reached a total 1,387 of beneficiaries through General Protection activities such as the distribution of solar lanterns, and disbursements of reintegration and subsistence allowances. Lack of funding and insecurity limits protection partners' ability to ensure effective protection monitoring. Remoteness, ad-hoc checkpoints and general inaccessibility to the conflict affected areas controlled by non-state armed actors remain a challenge. The presence of mines and ERW continued to threaten the lives and livelihoods of civilians, and to compromise the ability of humanitarian actors to safely carry out their duties. Constraints related to access (unable to provide protection services, clear roads, etc.) Limited IDTR and GBV services for families, children and survivors of rape and sexual violence etc. in priority locations including Awdal, Banadir, Bari, Bay, Gaalkacyo, Gedo, Hiraan, Lower Juba Nugaal, Sanaag and Sool Countrywide, referral pathways need to be extended. Security of tenure for IDPs is limited increasing the risk of forced eviction, especially for newly arrived IDPs who frequently rely on oral tenure agreements for sites they settle on.

9 Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard (issued on 20 December 2017) SHELTER 140, million 12,012 Number of displaced people assisted with non-food items (Plastic sheeting, blankets, jerry cans, sleeping mats, and kitchen sets) per month Provide non-food items and emergency shelter for newly-displaced people. Improve shelter conditions in existing settlements. Number of displaced people assisted with non-food items (per month) 74,500 55,500 Number of people assisted with Emergency shelter solutions (Plastic sheeting, Sticks, ropes) per month Close to half of the 1,060,000 people displaced in 2017 by drought and conflict remain in need of emergency Shelter and NFIs assistance. Majority of them are in and around Baidoa, Mogadishu and Afgoye corridor. An additional 1.0 million are protracted displaced and require support to improve their living conditions. Safe and secure settlements are needed to provide crisis-affected communities with protected and healthy living spaces and environments, while ensuring sufficient privacy and dignity In, 12,012 persons were assisted with emergency non-food assistance, bringing the total number of people reached since January to 365,352. Emergency NFI packages including plastic sheeting, blankets, jerry cans, sleeping mats and kitchen sets. These are core items for daily household use and survival. 55,500 persons have been assisted with Emergency Shelter Kits, bringing the total number of since January to 195,240. An emergency shelter kit includes plastic sheets, supporting poles and a rope for tying down the structure. This provides the most basic shelter which can offer protection from extreme weather persons have been assisted with Plastic sheet, bringing the total number of since January to 29, persons have been assisted with Permanent Shelter, bringing the total number of since January to 10,872. Drought displacements are now taking a protracted trend, with many of those displaced in 2017 not planning to return to areas of origin. Many IDP settlements risk evictions for lack of secure tenure. Advocacy is needed to reduce secondary displacements. The current dyer rains and flooding are causing further damage to already weak shelters, leaving many without shelter. Effective delivery of assistance is hampered by limited access, insecurity, road blocks / check points and poor road network. Low funding for Shelter and NFIs has left no stocks prepositioned for emergency response.

10 Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard (issued on 20 December 2017) WATER, SANITATION, AND HYGIENE 300, million 114,682 Provide access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene for people in emergencies People reached through hygiene activities, including hygiene kits distribution Number of people assisted with sustained access to safe water. 750, ,441 Number of people assisted with temporary supply of safe water 120,000 Number of beneficiaries accessing safe sanitation facilities 500,000 55, ,800 People reached through hygiene activities, including hygiene kits distribution WASH needs continue to rise in locations like Afmadow, Baidoa, Banadir, Bakool, Doolow, Galgaduud and Lower Juba. New arrivals at IDPs are in urgent need of water, latrines and WASH NFI s (jerrycans for storage/transportation of water. The resulting increase in population in IDP sites is overloading existing WASH facilities. There is need to sustain WASH service provision through; repair/rehabilitation of existing strategic water points (boreholes, shallow wells, storage tanks, pipelines) and construct new water sources. Filled up latrines needs to be dislodged while also scaling up hygiene promotion activities with focus on IDPs settlements to reducing risks of WASH related mortality and morbidity.) In line with AWD/Cholera preparedness and contingency planning, the Regional Supply Hubs (RSH) needs to be replenished and field level coordination strengthened. An estimated $35 million is required over the next 4 months (until April 2018) to address these needs. All the indicators reflect an increase compared to October but are quite low as compared to the needs on the ground with the number of people supported with sustained access to safe water only reaching 114,600, temporary access to water only reaching 223,400, access to sanitation only reaching 55,900 and hygiene activities only benefiting 174,800 people. The physical access to rural populations and new IDP sites is a major concern in sustaining and or scaling up the WASH response.
