Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard - September 2018 (issued on 18 October 2018) SITUATION OVERVIEW During September, the 2018 Deyr rainy season began across many parts of Somalia. A forecast, which was issued by the Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forum (GHACOF50), indicates a high probability of average to above-average rainfall between October and December. The an cipated rains are likely to enhance pasture and water availability for livestock, leading to increased food produc on and further improvements in food security, despite poten al flooding. However, humanitarian needs persist. Malnutri on rates remain high, especially amongst IDPs. Some 294,000 children are acutely malnourished, including 55,000 who are severely malnourished. The food security outlook remains par culary worrying among rural popla ons in the north-eastern parts of the country, which received below-average rainfall during the last Gu rainy season.

Somalia: Humanitarian Dashboard - September 2018 (issued on 18 October 2018) STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES Life-saving: Provide life-saving and life-sustaining integrated, mul -sectoral assistance to reduce acute human- 1 itarian needs and excess mortality among the most vulnerable people. Nutri on: Reduce emergency levels of acute malnutri on through integrated, mul -sectorial response. 2 Enhance integra on of Nutri on, WASH, Health and Food Security programmes to strengthen nutri on-sensi ve programming. Protec on: Support provision of protec on services to affected communi es, including in hard-to-reach areas 3 and in IDP sites, targe ng the most vulnerable, especially those at risk of exclusion. Resilience: Support the protec on and restora on of livelihoods, promote access to basic services to build 4 resilience to recurrent shocks, and catalyze more sustainable solu ons for those affected, including marginalized communi es. CLUSTER OVERVIEW CAMP COORDINATION AND CAMP MANAGEMENT (CCCM) Improve the living condi ons and protec on of IDPs in sites and se lements and ensure access to services and assistance of all persons in need, with a focus on moving toward a aining durable solu ons with full par cipa on of the displaced and host communi es. 2,000 Es mated number of IDP sites in Somalia. 2.6 million people in need 44% 1.5 million 39% people targeted 665,800 1,840 Number of displaced people with access to informa on about humanitarian services 1,600 sites targeted 15 15 Sites reached Number of sites with established CCCM mechanisms Number of displaced people with access to informa on about humanitarian services Sites reached 261,98 People reached 39% Sites targeted Number of sites with established community par cipa on structures Of the 2.6 million IDPs in Somalia, over 1.5 million were displaced a er 2016, with most moving to urban centres in search of livelihood opportuni es and humanitarian assistance. The situa on of IDPs con nues to be worsened by an increase in forced evic ons, mainly in urban areas, with those who are most affected regularly iden fied as the poorest and most vulnerable people in the country. There is restricted humanitarian access in some parts of south and central Somalia. Forced evic ons inhibit the ability of partners to improve living condi ons at sites, and low levels of hindered community par cipa on inhibit the cluster s ability to improve beneficiary targe ng to include marginalized popula ons. The cluster is also, in certain loca ons, struggling with a lack of service provision at a site level. The CCCM response varies by district, and fluctuates according to needs and other external factors. For instance, during September, partners conducted site maintenance needs assessments in Garowe IDP camps, which will help priori ze site improvement ac vi es. In Kismayo, the cluster opened three informa on centers, staffed by trained partners, which will give IDPs a place to enquire about service provision. As many as 40 camp leaders in Banadir were trained on CCCM principles, including community par cipa on and problem iden fica on/priori za on. Finally, tember, 12 site-level camp management commi ees were established in Belet Weyne; these will now work with partners to ensure safe access to quality services in the town.

EDUCATION Ensure emergency and crisis-affected children have access to safe and protec ve learning environments, and are engaged in life-saving learning. 2.4 million people in need Number of children and youth accessing safe learning opportuni es in emergency-affected learning environments Number of children and youth accessing safe and protected learning opportuni es in emergency-affected learning environments 46% 381,600 Children targeted 261,98 14,200 261,98 Children reached 142,300 Children targeted 63% 61% 253,00 89,200 94,400 9,800 48,000 41,200 84,300 0.800 Children reached Number of children with access to emergency school feeding Due to a lack of funding to EiE, 11,200 learners support will be cut by the end of November. Several cyclone-affected schools in rural Somaliland have s ll not been restored, due to their remoteness. Finally, there is a need for improved coordina on between Somaliland and Puntland authori es, in rela on to the educa on response in disputed border areas. Children targeted 155,100 Children reached Number of children benefi ng from emergency teaching and learning materials According to FSNAU, some 08,000 school-aged children are both displaced and food insecure. Of these, only 391,000 are currently enrolled in school without educa on, the remainder are prone to exploita on, child labour and abuse. Funding for Educa on in Emergencies (EiE) ac vi es, which aim to address low enrollment, is currently at just $8.8m, which is less than 40 percent of what was received during the same period of 201. The Somalia Humanitarian Fund (SHF) has provided $1.5m for integrated Educa on, Protec on and WASH projects in northern Somalia, which was ravaged by Cyclone Sagar earlier this year. This money has funded several ac vi es, including school feeding, the restora on of educa on and WASH facili es, and the provision of teaching/learning materials. Both IDPs and host communi es have benefi ed as a result.

In some IDP camps, food prices are increasing, presen ng the displaced with a significant challenge. 468,100 People reached as of Sep Number of people assisted with condi onal cash transfer related ac vi es Immediate access to food for popula ons affected by floods, cyclones, drought, conflict and diseases to address acute food insecurity. Support to flood- and drought-affected popula ons to protect their livelihoods, enable local food produc on and prevent adop on of crisis strategies. 24 partners reported responding tember. Overall, more than two million people were reached with improved access to food. Almost 300,000 people were provided with seasonal inputs/livestock assets protec on, while over 468,000 people were reached with condi onal assistance, such as cash-for-work schemes. The most ac ve partners in September included WFP, FAO, Save the Children, Ac on Against Hunger (ACF), ACTED and the Danish Refugee Council (DRC).

HEALTH Targe ng vulnerable people for improved health care, with a focus on life-saving services including mely and adequate response to disease outbreaks and epidemics. 5.5 million people in need 358,300 Target 53% 261,98 189,00 80,100 109,600 996,500 1,2,000 Consulta ons Consulta ons Number of medical consultations Number of medical consula ons 4,300,000 Target 53% 2,23,500 Up to 5.4 million people are currently in need of emergency health services. Insecurity, displacement and limited WASH interven ons, amongst other factors, have complicated the health crisis in Somalia. There is a con nued need to prevent, detect and respond to water- and vector-borne diseases, including cholera and malaria. Rou ne coordina on with other clusters, needs to be sustained to adress the resurgence of cholera. The cluster reached over 185,000 pa ents across Somalia; cons pa on, flu and respiratory illness are the most common issues. Cases of AWD/cholera have reduced, although too many children under five are s ll dying in Banadir hygiene campaigns, specifically targeted at kids, are ongoing in the region. The cluster is only 18 per cent funded, on an appeal of $124 million, a shor all which is severely hampering the delivery of life-saving health services to vulnerable popula ons. Inaccessibility is another gap, in two ways: health workers cannot reach affected people, and affected people cannot reach health centres. For more informa on, contact: hamptonc@who.int NUTRITION Improved nutri on status and access to nutri on services for emergency affected popula ons through predictable, mely, effec ve and at scale response thereby enhancing resilience. 1.4 million people in need 19,000 11,200 11,400 59% 99% of target 261,98 reached 10,200 People reached People reached Number of children 6-59 months, treated for Severe Acute Malnutri on (SAM) Number of children under five years treated for severe/moderate acute malnutri on per month Recent assessments have concluded that acute malnutri on amongst some IDPs is at cri cal levels of 15 per cent or above, which is above the emergency threshold. The slight improvement in the overall outlook since 201 can be a ributed to increased resilience and a mul -sectoral humanitarian response. However, concerted efforts involving sanita on, protec on, livelihood, health and food security services are s ll required to improve the situa on further. The cluster has now managed almost 10,200 cases of severe acute malnutri on (SAM) in 2018, about 4 per cent of its annual target. It has also reached 204,300 moderately malnourished beneficiaries, 3 percent of the annual target. Addi onally, more than 212,000 pregnant and lacta ng women (PLWs) have been reached with Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) counselling in 2018. Inaccessibility con nues to hinder humanitarian assistance, par cularly in the south-west of the country. Addi onally, limited funding is cri cally affec ng both the geographic and actual coverage of nutri on in emergency.

PROTECTION Provide effec ve and quality protec on services to women, men, girls, and boys affected by conflict and emergencies, and strengthen protec on May policy. 3.6 million people in need 150,000 84,500 56% 40,600 43,900 People reached 1,800,000 28% Jan 261,98 - Sep 505,300 212,400 292,900 People reached Number of individuals affected by violence directly provided with protec on assistance Number of people or individuals affected by violence, coercion, and abuse directly provided with responsive services and/or other protec on assistance Evic ons are endemic; if current trends persist, the total number of evic on-driven secondary displacements in 2018 whether forced or otherwise will reach 250,000 people. This will bring the total for the last two years to well-over half a million people. Another protec on concern is insecurity and community disrup on surrounding the upcoming round of state elec ons. In September, the cluster as a whole reached a total of 3,600 individuals, which translates to 3 per cent of the annual target. This figure was reached by numerous sub-clusters: Child Protec on (59,100 persons), GBV (6,00 persons), Housing, Land and Property (16 persons) and Explosive Hazards (,100 persons). Security of tenure for IDPs remains the biggest challenge, with many relying solely on oral agreements to lease their land. GBV services for the survivors of rape are desperately needed in many parts of the country (par cularly in the north), while the monitoring of newly displaced communi es must be con nued, for the purposes of resource mobiliza on/advocacy. The cluster remains less than 15 percent funded, meaning ongoing support ac vi es may soon be frozen/discon nued.

Improve shelter condi ons in exis ng se lements. 1.5 3.8 million people in need People in targeted 3,500 <1% 450,000 48% 25,000 44% 300,000 59% 261,98 261,98 25,000 0% 300,000 16% 261,98 8 21,500 11,100 16,600 0 48,900 People reached People reached People reached People reached People reached People reached Number of people in need of emergency assistance receiving appropriate NFIs through in kind distribu on, vouchers or cash mechanisms Number of people in need of emergency assistance receiving appropriate NFIs through in-kind distribu on, vouchers or cash mechanisms. Number of people in need of emergency assistance receiving relevant emergency shelters through in-kind distribu on, vouchers or cash mechanisms Number of protracted IDPs receiving non-food items through in-kind distribu on, vouchers or cash mechanisms Most IDPs live in crowded se lements, without access to basic services, which are prone to fire. Almost half of the 2.6m displaced in Somalia have received no emergency shelter report, and are in dire need of protec on from upcoming harsh clima c condi ons (flooding). In September, the cluster delivered the following provisions: emergency non-food assistance (8 persons); and emergency shelter kits (11,100 persons). In several areas, partners lack the resources to support IDPs who have been forcefully evicted, even when alternate land has been sourced by authori es. Partners cash programming capacity is weak.

WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE Provide access to safe water, sanita on and hygiene for people in emergencies 4.3 million people in need 100,000 1,200,000 1% 55% 15% 18% 21% Jan 261,98 - Sep 83,333 1,000,000 291,66 3,500,000 40% 1,100,00 9,400 296,100 361,800 5,00,000 81,50 99,50 People reached People reached People reached People reached Number of individuals (men, women, boys and girls) with a reliable access to 15 liters of safe water per person per day During the last week of September, the Deyr rainy season began in several parts of Somalia. The rains are expected to enhance pasture and water availability for humans and livestock alike, although they are also expected to increase the risk of flooding along the Juba and Shabelle rivers. IDPs and rural popula ons con nue as the most affected by the residual impacts of drought, conflict, flooding and displacement. Insecurity in the south of the country has led to mass movement towards urban centers, pu ng heavy pressure on the limited resources available. 65,900 12,00 181,500 Number of affected individuals assisted with access to safe sanita on facili es 61,400 1,40,600 30,00 30,00 698,00 08,900 People reached People reached Number of affected individuals (men, women, boys and girls) who have par cipated in hygiene promo on campaigns and received hygiene kits. In September, some 1,000 beneficiaries were reached through sustained access to safe water, nearly 62,000 beneficiaries were reached through temporary access to safe water, just over 12,600 beneficiaries were reached through safe sanita on access, and over 61,000 through hygiene related ac vi es. Over 31,000 beneficiaries, mostly focused in the south-central areas of Somalia, also received hygiene kits. Number of people provided with temporary supply of safe water Newly-displaced popula ons, especially in southern and central areas, lack access to basic WASH services and are in dire need of hygiene kits. In IDP se lements, open defeca on is widely prac ced due to the absence of proper sanita on facili es, a problem which is exasperated by the short shelf life of latrines (most last just three months). Should the Shabelle flood, there are areas where weak river banks will cause flooding, increasing the likelihood of disease transfer par cularly acute watery diarrhoea.
