UNOCHA Somalia Weekly Humanitarian Bulletin Issue No 3 (15-22 January 2010) I. UNHCR Somali Refugee and IDPs January 2010 SC conducted a multi-sectoral emergency assessment in urban areas of Puntland and in the Golis/Guban livelihoods zone and Togdheer Region of Somaliland in August 2009 with focus on livelihood, nutrition and protection. The assessment also covered health and WASH. Methods used during the assessment included Focus Groups Discussions with men, women and children (boys and girls) and interviews with key informants from UN agencies, NGOs and local authorities on the ground. Since the information obtained during the field trip has been of a marked qualitative nature, a combination of direct observation in the field and desk review and analysis of secondary, more quantitative data was used. A total of 87 men, 81 women, 62 boys and 63 girls were interviewed during the focus groups discussions. Items B to D above were collected by the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit for Somalia (FSNAU) in collaboration with different local and international NGOs. FSNAU, a project funded by the European Commission and USAID (donors), and implemented by the UN FAO is a leading body in providing integrated analysis of Somali food, nutrition and livelihood security to enable both short-term emergency responses and long-term strategic planning to promote food and livelihood security for Somali people. FSNAU bases its assessments on the understanding of food, nutrition, and livelihood security in four key dimensions: Access, Availability, Utilization, and Stability. The FSNAU has developed a Food Security and Nutrition Analysis System (FSNAS) that holistically integrates both conceptual and analytical aspects of its work, and is underpinned by livelihoods analysis. With regard to nutrition, the information focuses on the key factors that influence nutritional status: the fragile socio-economic and political environment, food insecurity, unfavourable care practices, and the health environment. 2

SINGLE FORM 27/11/2007

With regards to nutrition assessment, FSNAU includes both anthropometric and nonanthropometric data for integrated analysis. FSNAU also conducts nutrition surveillance that utilizes a diverse range of information sources on nutrition. These include detailed nutrition assessments, health facility information, rapid assessments, sentinel site surveillance and intervention data. Information on the wide range of factors affecting nutrition is also collected from partners in other sectors of health, food security, water and security. Save the Children conducted a baseline health survey in Karkar region of Puntland in September 2008 to understand the existing health situation of women and children, their knowledge and health care and health seeking practices, coverage of essential health services using qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Items E-G are periodic documents produced by Save the Children for internal and/or external circulation to update on the situation. They are mainly based on the agencies operation in the areas. Problem statement and stakeholder analysis Somalia has suffered from conflict and lack of a functioning government for 19 years. As a result Somalia is one of the poorest and failed states with a Gross Domestic Product of US$ 291.1 per capita with 43.2% of its 8.7 million population living on less than US$1 per day and currently going through the worlds worst form of humanitarian crisis. According to the State of the Worlds Children 2009 published by UNICEF, the average life expectancy of Somalis is just 45 years, one of the lowest in the world. Somalia has one of the highest maternal mortality ratios (1400/100,000) and under five mortality rate (142/1000). Similarly, 38% of Somali children are stunted and 36% are under weight. Stunting is a result of poor nutrition, which prevents normal physical and mental development. Food insecurity results in (and is also a result of) reduced access to health care and education services by poor children and their caregivers. The combination of drought, economic collapse, intensification of conflict, and subsequent mass population displacement during 2009 has resulted in a massive humanitarian crisis. According to UN estimates, 3.69 million people are in crisis including 1.55 million internally displaced people. Like in most humanitarian crises, women and children are in the most vulnerable situation with their level of vulnerability further compounded by the existing socio-cultural context in Somalia. During 2009, Puntland was one of the main zones/regions in Somalia receiving IDPs displaced due to the escalation of fighting in central and southern Somalia. According to the UNHCR, as of January 2010, there are 104,000 IDPs living in Puntland. Most of these IDPs are settled in the urban areas of Bosaso and Garowe. The influx of the IDPs has contributed in the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the area. According to the Food Security and Nutrition Assessment Unit (FSNAU)s 2009 Post Deyr Analysis Report, 65% of 107,181 urban population of Bosaso are in either Acute Food and Livelihood Crisis (AFLC) or Humanitarian Emergency (HE). Similarly, 45% of 33,395 urban population of Garowe are either in AFLC or HE. It means about 70,000 people of Bosaso town and about 15,000 people of Garowe town are in AFLC or HE. The health and nutrition situation of these populations especially children are of major concern for the humanitarian community. Even though according to the FSNAUs post Deyr report the malnutrition situation of children in the northeast Somalia looks comparatively better than the situation in other regions, the presence of huge IDP population which have already a worst malnutrition situation demands an urgent interventions to prevent worsening of the situation and excess morbidity and mortality among vulnerable children. Based upon the FSNAUs reported malnutrition rate among under five children (2% SAM and 8% GAM for Northeast; 3.5% SAM and 13.75% GAM in IDP) an estimated annual case loads of over 3,500 under five children acutely malnourished in Bosaso and Garowe towns. Of these, an estimated 952 are suffering from severe acute malnutrition. These children are at great risk of diseases and deaths without effective lifesaving interventions. UNICEF and WFP have been distributing plumpydoz and general food rations in partnership with Relief International (RI) and the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) respectively in Bosaso and 3

SINGLE FORM 27/11/2007

Garowe. WFP food aid distributions were discontinued in October 2009. Severely malnourished children are treated inpatient at the local hospital in the area. The coverage and the quality of the available services are not meeting the needs of the vulnerable children. Moreover, Infant and Young Children Feeding (IYCF) activities are not adequately addressed. The local hospitals and other government health facilities lack capacities in terms of staff, skills, supplies, and management and are not able to cover the essential health and nutrition needs of the population. SC will coordinate with the existing stakeholders to avoid duplication and fill existing gaps effectively. Summarise findings of the assessment (include full report in annex, if relevant) and link these to the Action The SC rapid assessment field trip to the proposed project areas confirms that the urban populations of Bosaso and Garowe, especially the IDPs and urban poor in the host communities, are suffering from a severe humanitarian crisis. Children under 5, pregnant and lactating women and the elderly are hard hit. Main causes are a severe food security and livelihood crisis, poor or total lack of access to health services, poor or lack of access to safe drinking water, poor sanitary conditions and poor knowledge of infant and young child feeding and health seeking practices. The government currently lacks the capacity to respond to the needs. Response from different INGOs and UN agencies is insufficient and suffers from poor overall coordination, leaving large pockets of populations uncovered. The continuous influx of new IDPs from central and southern Somalia is putting an increasing strain on already inadequate basic services. Sub-optimal breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices are contributing to the poor nutritional status of children. Though in general women understand the need for dietary diversity and sufficient meals, they lack the income to purchase nutritious foods for their children or sufficient quantities to feed their children throughout the day. Though the youngest children are kept with the mothers while they are out begging or scavenging, older children (typically older than 6 months) are left on their own and therefore do not receive adequate care. There is heavy marketing of powdered milk in towns and most women feel that they are not able to produce enough breast milk since they are not eating enough themselves; they therefore believe it is best to give the child powdered milk. As water quality is poor, this is resulting in increased risk of diarrhoea and thus increased risk of malnutrition. Services provided by MCH clinics are limited, as drugs are routinely unavailable, staff frequently are unpaid, clinics are closed during the hours that the mothers are able to visit, and health staff lack understanding of Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) beliefs and practices among their communities. Another factor causing malnutrition among the IDPs is marginalisation, particularly of IDPs from central and southern Somalia. IDPs report being denied access to basic health services, including treatment of malnutrition, or are charged twice the price that other patients are charged. Some IDPs do not receive General Food Distribution (GFD), though other IDPs and the host community do. They report being verbally harassed and children are physically abused by host community children when they leave the IDP camps. Oromo refugees from Ethiopia also face the same discrimination as the southern and central Somali IDPs and do not have legal status in Somalia. An SC baseline health survey in Karkaar, Puntland revealed that over two thirds of infants are born without adequate antenatal care during their prenatal lives and without assistance of skilled health workers during their delivery. Similarly, during their early infancy, only about a third of the babies are exclusively breastfed and their immunization coverage for routine antigens ranges between 12-43% only. Only 24% of children aged between 12-23 months were found to be vaccinated against measles. The survey also reported about the high incidence of diarrhea, fever and acute respiratory infection and poor access to clean drinking water, basic sanitation and appropriate care during illness. Though this study was done in Karkaar region, the pattern of the problems and the situation is reflective of the entire northeastern region. The Somali Knowledge, Attitude & Practices Study, Infant & Young Child Feeding and Health Seeking Practices (December 2007) found that knowledge, attitude and practices on breastfeeding are mainly controlled by culture through maternal grandmothers and other elderly 4

SINGLE FORM 27/11/2007

women in the community and are generally unsatisfactory. Most children are put on breast 2-3 days after delivery and colostrum is not fed to children by the majority of mothers. Exclusive breastfeeding does not exist in most parts of Somalia. The early introduction of complementary foods was reported, a lack of variety in complementary diets was also noted and there was no special dietary attention for children after 24 months of age.

HUMANITARIAN ORGANISATION IN THE AREA OF INTERVENTION

Humanitarian Organisation's presence in the area of intervention: brief overview of strategy and current or recent activities in the country SC has been present in Puntland since early 2005 implementing both long and short-term programmes. SC embarked on a livelihood recovery programme in response to the Tsunami funded through the Disasters Emergency Committee in the UK. The programme covered four sectors, Health, Education, Food Security & Livelihoods and Emergency Preparedness in tsunami affected coastal areas in Hafun and Bender-Bayla districts, Karkar region. The implementation has emphasized community-based process for identifying beneficiaries and monitoring project implementation with the clear intention of moving from recovery to development and strengthening community ownership. The focus of the immediate post-Tsunami relief phase (2005) was on creating community assets through cash for work and distributing lost assets (boats, nets) in Hafun and Bander Beyla districts. After the immediate relief phase, SC started cash for work projects in other inland areas of Karkaar region, rehabilitating community assets for drought-affected communities. While in 2006, we supported 1,500 households through cash/in kind grants and fishing equipment distribution in 3 districts, the 2007 operational objective aimed at improving more than 850 households. In 2007, livelihood project provided a cash lump sum to 969 poor households with skills to use this money to restore their livelihood, or diversify into other types of livelihood. The tsunami programme came to an end in December 2007. Since then SC has been focusing on development work in the sectors of education and health which are closely inter-connected. In August 2009, SC undertook emergency assessments in urban areas of Puntland and in the Golis/Guban livelihoods zone of Somaliland. Sectoral focus of the assessments was nutrition and livelihoods, given indications of needs on the ground and the governments own plea. UNICEF and WFP distributed plumpydoz and general food rations in partnership in Bosaso but both the coverage and the quality of the services are not adequate compared to the needs on the ground Actions currently on-going and funding requests submitted to other donors (including other EC services) in the same area of intervention - indicate how overlap and double funding would be avoided Currently there are four ongoing programmes in the Puntland region. These are: Developing a Local Model for the Delivery of Primary Education in Somali - Karkar Region, Puntland, Somalia 29 months UNICEF funded project (April 2008 September 2010); Access to primary health Care for Rural Children in Karkar Region, Puntland (27 months EC funded project, January 2008 March 2010; Saving Children's Lives in Puntland Somalia, two years project funded Darvel Church Community; Support to Integrated Basic Education (SIBE) two years project funded by EC July 2008 June 2010

Beneficiaries Total number of direct beneficiaries: Given the complexities of the situation, it is difficult to present the precise number of beneficiaries at this stage. However, based on the demographic structure, number of people in humanitarian crisis (AFLC and HE) and malnutrition rate reported by FSNAUs latest report, we expect an estimated total of 9,248 under five children from 85,000 people who are in acute humanitarian needs (AFLC and HE) for different specific interventions as follows (malnutrition rates reported for IDPs have been used for this calculation and from the estimated annual case loads of over 3,500, the projects targets to cover 80% of the estimated case loads for 10 months project period): Direct nutrition interventions for treatment of acute malnutrition: OTP (Outpatient Therapeutic Programme) ; 635 severely malnourished under five children (523 in Bosaso & 112 in Garowe)

SFP (Supplementary Feeding Programme): 1813 moderately malnourished under five children (1493 in Bosaso & 320 in Garowe) IYCF (Infant and Young Child Feeding) for nutrition promotion and prevention of malnutrition targeted to under 2 years aged children through their mother and care takers: 6,800 children under 2 years of age in the population in crisis, Training of health staff on malnutrition management and IMNCI for treatment of common diseases: 9,248 under five children Status of the direct beneficiaries (multiple options possible) IDPs Returnees local population Others (e.g. for Grant Facility, thematic funding, etc.) Refugees

Specificities of direct beneficiaries (please elaborate; refer to groups as appropriate, e.g. unaccompanied minors, disabled, children, ex-combatants) The direct beneficiaries include children of IDPs living in Bosaso and Garowe towns and host population children under the age of 5, especially those from poor and marginalised communities who are facing humanitarian crisis Children with special needs such as unaccompanied minors, with disability, orphans etc will be given special priority. Mothers, or caretakers of children under the age of two years, are also targeted for improving IYCF practices among IDPs and host communities who are in humanitarian crisis. Health workers from local health facilities and IDPs will also be targeted for training to improve their skills for treatment of malnourished children and common childhood illnesses. Direct beneficiary identification mechanisms and criteria Children of IDPs living in the IDPs camps and children of poor and marginalised families from the host communities will be the direct beneficiaries. They will be identified on the basis of their settlements and their humanitarian needs. Specific criteria to be used for beneficiary selection will include, but will not be limited to: Populations with a significant number of children suffering from acute malnutrition (SAM/GAM) Absence of intervention by other agencies vs. needs determined through the clusters and consultation with local health authority and health facilities Displaced populations living without shelter and other essential household items Observance of Do No Harm principles, with a focus on averting conflict Proportion and equity in targeting different vulnerable groups 7

SINGLE FORM 27/11/2007

Beneficiaries will be identified through screening using anthropometric measurements at community and Outpatient Therapeutic Programme (OTP) sites. Malnourished children fitting the following criteria will be admitted to the programme: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM): Children with <115mm MUAC AND/OR <-3 z-score (new WHO reference data) AND/OR bilateral pitting oedema admitted to OTP Moderate acute malnutrition (MAM): Children with >=115mm & <125mm MUAC AND/OR >= -3 z-score & <-2 z-score (WHO) admitted to SFP Severely malnourished children with medical complications will be referred to the local hospital in Bosaso and Garowe for treatment of medical complication Moderately malnourished children in will be referred to the nearest SFP Unvaccinated children and those with minor illnesses will be referred to the nearest MCH/mobile clinic

Admission criteria follows internationally accepted standards (WHO, UNICEF, Valid International) and Somalia nutrition cluster recommendations. For IYCF practices, mother of young children (aged under-two years) will be identified on the basis of childs age. Local health staff for training on IMNCI will be identified in coordination with local MOH. Describe to what extent and how the direct beneficiaries were involved in the design of the Action Between21-28 August 2009, assessment teams from SC conducted an assessment in order to among others determine if emergency needs did exist in selected areas of Puntland and made recommendations on the key findings of the assessment mission. The assessment process ensured the involvement of the community and local key stakeholders through the use of Focus Groups Discussions with men, women and children (boys and girls) and interviews with key informants from UN agencies, NGOs and local authorities on the ground. As a result of their involvement it emerged that implementing emergency nutrition projects focusing on the provision of OTP services through the MoH, and the provision of OTP services and IYCF activities in collaboration with other stakeholders, would maximize impact. In programme implementation, activities will build on SCs wider strategy of engaging the local community in all planned interventions. For this intervention, SC will work with the local health authority, health facilities and local community leaders and the beneficiaries themselves to tailor assistance appropriately. Activities will recognize local customs and aim to minimize the burden on daily household and community routines. Community and beneficiary participation will be required at different stages of the project to ensure transparency and allow for adjustments based on feedback. Community mobilization through public meetings involving community representatives and other members of the community will be held to discuss the proposed project. This will help to maintain transparency with the beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries throughout the project period. Other potential beneficiaries (indirect, "catchment", etc.) The catchment area includes the total urban population of 107,181 in Bosaso and 33,395 in Garowe with particular concern to 70,000 people in Bosaso and 15,000 people in Garowe who are currently in humanitarian crisis (AFLC or HE) according to FNSAU Post Deyr 209/2010 report.

Monitoring, evaluation, audit and other studies Monitoring of activities (explain how, by whom) There will be regular collection and analysis of project relate information, in order to inform decision making, ensure accountability and provide the basis for evaluation and learning. The monitoring involves the regular review of a project's performance on both a quantitative basis (i.e. measurable like time spent, expenditure etc) and a qualitative basis (i.e. more general attributes such as how smoothly the project runs, the satisfaction of those involved etc). Monitoring will help SC answer questions about projects progress and will be crucial when it comes to the final evaluation. By use of the health teams attached to the project to the check progress of the project against the set objectives and indicators, timely changes and readjustments will be done to keep the project on track. The Emergency Programme Manager (international) based in Hargeysa with frequent visits to the project areas, will be responsible for the overall management of the programme and monitoring progress against planned activities and reporting. S/he will be responsible for ensuring that the programme is coordinated and implemented in accordance with the programme document, timetable, and budget. The operational implementation and day-to-day monitoring of the 17

SINGLE FORM 27/11/2007

programme is the responsibility of the Project Manager, Deputy Programme Manager and three Project Officers based in project sites. The Manager of Partnerships and Quality Programmes will support them to set up and manage an effective monitoring system. The Nairobi-based Alliance Cooperation in Emergencies (ACE) Manager will provide significant technical and management support to project implementation. He is responsible for representation and operational support at the Nairobi level. The Regional Manager for the North will provide strategic management support and the monitoring for project operation through the Head of Office in Puntland who is responsible for day to day management of the operational aspect of the project. The regional Manager will also provide strategic inputs at national level. An Emergency Health Advisor will be employed for the duration of the project and will be responsible for monitoring and ensuring quality; the Nutrition Advisor will also be responsible for providing all required technical support and back-stopping to the Puntand-based nutrition team. These positions are intended to ensure that adequate technical support for field teams is in place and available on a regular basis, as well as to ensure that field teams activities are performed to technical standard. With the current operational environment in Puntland, SC can provide adequate support from all levels to the project ensuring an effective implementation and monitoring of the project. If the security situation worsens and should problems arise with implementation of planned project activities, for insecurity, access or other reasons, SC will inform ECHO of challenges and the proposed way forward. However, to ensure that project implementation and management are undertaken to a high standard, SC also proposes to continue to invest significantly in training of field staff from the beginning to build their capacity for implementation of the project with minimal international presence as a precaution in case security deteriorates, preventing international staff to visit the field for monitoring and support. Initial project start-up trainings include, but are not limited to:

Induction into SC for new staff members (and refresher for existing staff) SC Child Safeguarding Policy Technical training Humanitarian principles and do no harm approaches Security protocols Procurement protocols Training on donor requirements, including reporting (financial and narrative) and procurement Agreement on monitoring and evaluation plans and responsibilities

Initial trainings will be followed up by regular meetings with field teams that revisit each of the subjects described above and others as required (as identified by the field team and senior management staff). With regard to the financial management, SC has standard financial management system which is applied globally. It includes up to date monitoring, internal control and risk management mechanism. SC also provides two week-long financial management trainings for all staff with budget management or support responsibilities. So, all staff dealing with grants or general funds will have a refreshed thorough understanding of SC financial management systems and donor reporting requirements. Currently, the main SC financial management office is based in Hargeysa which provides financial management support capacity to field programmes. SC also monitors all grants on a monthly basis in order to ensure better controls of expenditure. For this, the team in Hargeysa reports to Finance team in Nairobi who in turn reports to SC Head office in London. SC also has internationally standardised procurement policy and guidelines. These policy and guidelines will be applied while procuring goods and services for the project. A well established 18

SINGLE FORM 27/11/2007

system for internal and external audits of all the expenditure for any project within the organisation is also another layer of financial control mechanism SC has. Tick the box if one of the following studies will be undertaken: an external evaluation during the Action an external evaluation after the Action an external audit during the Action an external audit after the Action an internal evaluation or internal audit related to the Action Other studies: please elaborate: (Please remember that for external evaluations, audits and studies financed by the Commission the Terms of Reference have to be agreed by DG ECHO before launching the selection procedure)

CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES
Describe the expected level of sustainability and/or connectedness9 SCs current operations in Puntland have health, child protection and education sectors programme. To maximise the sustainability of the project, SC works closely with the local systems (where possible) and communities right from the beginning of the project development. Representatives of the local communities including women and children, organisations and the local health authority were consulted at the time of rapid situation assessment prior to the development of the concept note for this project. Their views have been incorporated in the strategies of this project. Accordingly, SC will provide capacity building support and technical inputs especially on health and nutrition wellbeing of children into communities and relevant local authorities. SCs experience has shown that creating effective models for participation in project design and implementation, as well as enhancing capacity at the local level, enables communities including children to raise their issues in different forums and at the same time to enable sustainability of the project outputs following the end of the project cycle. SC interventions in Puntland are designed in such a manner as to support longer-term goals, and eventually be managed by the communities themselves. Save the Children has implemented both emergency and recovery interventions in the Puntland mainly in the sectors of education, health and livelihoods. Our humanitarian and emergency work is as much as possible linked to longer term recovery and development. SC will provide capacity building support and technical inputs into communities and local governance structures. SCs experience has shown that creating effective models for participation in project design and implementation, as well as enhancing capacity at the local level, enables communities including children to raise their issues in different forums and at the same time to enable sustainability of the project outputs following the end of the project cycle. Continuum strategy (Linking Relief, Rehabilitation and Development) Given increasing humanitarian need, insecurity and more and more limited humanitarian access across central and southern Somalia and increasing trends of IDPs influx into the north, it is very likely that further emergency and development assistance will be required in the region, quite possibly during and beyond the 10-months proposed implementation period. This proposed project is part of a desired broader scaling-up of SC emergency operations in Somalia. With the existing and growing enormous gaps in health services, SC will try to continue this as more integrated health and nutrition programme by adding emergency health component into the programme. Simultaneous to scaling up of the emergency programmes designed to address the
9

Sustainability and connectedness are similar concepts used to ensure that activities are carried out in a context that takes longer-term and interconnected problems into account.

19

SINGLE FORM 27/11/2007

growing acute humanitarian needs both for IDPs and vulnerable host population, SC aims to incorporate longer-term perspectives for sustainability, thus building on the positive changes/impacts achieved through emergency response. As mentioned, above, SC will work closely with the communities and local system to strengthen their capacities and sustain the positive changes achieved in terms of health and nutrition wellbeing of children and their families. Mainstreaming (e.g. Disaster Risk Reduction, Children, Human rights, Gender, Environmental impacts, others to be specified) Save the Children is a child-focused organisation and therefore issues of child protection and participation will be mainstreamed throughout its programmes. Project staff will provide appropriate awareness-raising sessions on the principles of child protection to partner staff, local authorities, and community members as per SCs global Child Safeguarding Policy. Gender is always mainstreamed in all SCs interventions. The project staff will enlist the participation of women and children in project activities as appropriate. Wherever possible SC will also mainstream the concept of disaster risk reduction into the project activities. During the project implementation, SC will look at the risk and vulnerabilities of the communities and take these into consideration while implementing the project activities. Risk reduction relies to a large extent on preparedness. SC will maintain a buffer stock of nutritional supplies in order to be in position to respond to deterioration in nutritional status. HIV/AIDS Mainstreaming: I. Minimum Activity for Partners SC will incorporate topics on HIV prevention and awareness in all its training for nutrition and health staff including the staff of local health facilities and community volunteers. HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention information will be made available to all the project staff at the project start-up workshop. Senior staff will be responsible for cascading information to support staff and to the community volunteers. SC will also reinforce the information and practices of universal precaution at health and nutrition care facilities. SC will procure high quality condoms and ensure that these are available to staff on an anonymous basis (most likely placed in toilets or another appropriate location within the office) in Bosaso, Garowe, Hargeysa and Nairobi. SC is an active member of the Health cluster and will also aim to participate in other relevant coordination forums in which HIV/AIDS is addressed. II. Minimum Activity for Beneficiaries SC will ensure that all CTC activities where injections are delivered adhere to universal precautions. Used sharps and other biohazard materials will be discarded safely through incineration sites. SC will not be undertaking any activities with beneficiaries involving blood transfusions. Some of the community members view strongly that HIV/AIDS awareness and other activities as promoting illegal sexual relations, making education of beneficiaries problematic from a security perspective. However, SC staff will continually monitor the social context, and provide awareness and prevention training to beneficiaries when possible. Beneficiaries requiring additional services will be referred to service providers where possible. The same security concerns extend to the distribution of free condoms to beneficiaries, however SC will continue to monitor the situation and will provide free condoms to beneficiaries as soon as possible without creating potential threat to staff members and beneficiaries. Given the current environment in Somalia and the existing health gap, there are limited opportunities for HIV/AIDS testing. If feasible, SC will refer beneficiaries for testing at the limited local health facilities available. Adapting protocols, commodities and exit-strategies for nutrition programmes in high prevalence contexts There is limited information available about current HIV/AIDS prevalence rates in Somalia. A 2008 UNGASS Country Progress Report on Somalia10 reports a prevalence of 0.6%.

SINGLE FORM 27/11/2007

However, given limited health services and widely prevalent strong stigma about HIV/AIDS, it is difficult to know how reliable this data is. SC adheres to standard, internationally accepted protocols for ensuring that health and nutritional rehabilitation services are available to all regardless of HIV/AIDS status.

FIELD COORDINATION
Field co-ordination (indicate the Humanitarian Organisation's participation in coordination mechanisms with other relevant stakeholders, e.g. clusters, NGOs, UN agencies, others to be specified as well as the links with the Consolidated Appeal Process, when relevant) SC plays an important role in the coordination of humanitarian aid provision in Somalia. SC participates in all OCHA-organized coordination meetings at the regional level with the aim of ensuring effective coordination between agencies to avoid overlapping activities at the district level. SC also actively participates in health cluster and nutrition cluster at regional level in Somalia/Nairobi. Technical staff at the coordinator level that are associated with this project (including, ACE Manager) will represent SC and play an active roll in their relevant clusters and other coordination forums currently in Nairobi - in order to ensure coordination with other major humanitarian actors in the region. National and local authorities (relations established, authorisations, coordination) In the absence of a functional central government in Somalia, SC has established good working relationships and works closely with regional and district level government bodies in Puntland. With the past and current EC-funded health programme in Puntland, SC has established a good relationship with the local health authorities. SC is a member of the important coordination forum such as health cluster, Health Sector and Health system strengthening working groups at regional level with involvement of local health authorities and at Nairobi level. Given the long-standing status of ineffective central governance capacity, agencies have attempted to coordinate external support through the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), the Somalia Support Secretariat (SSS) and the cluster system based in Nairobi, Kenya. SC is an active member of both the IASC and SSS and contributes regularly to many of the cluster groups, which provide the opportunity for information sharing with other agencies. In implementing this proposed programme, SC will collaborate with a large number of actors including relevant clusters and working groups. In the design of this programme, SC has consulted extensively with the communities including IDPs, local government authorities, other NGO and UN actors working in Somaliland and Puntland to ensure that duplication is avoided and complementarity of programming is ensured wherever possible. Co-ordination with DG ECHO (indicate the Humanitarian Organisation's contacts with DG ECHO and its technical assistants in the field) SC Somalia communicates regularly with the DG ECHO Technical Assistant in Nairobi to apprise him of progress and challenges faced during project implementation, as well as to discuss potential upcoming project proposals. SC will continue to liaise closely with the ECHO Somalia TA according to a jointly agreed schedule and also as required, as well as with relevant technical experts within SC, during the implementation phase of the project, and especially with regards to the lessons learnt and/or challenges faced.

SECURITY AND CONTINGENCY MEASURES

Contingency measures (Plan B/ mitigating actions to be taken if risks and assumptions spelled out in the log-frame materialised) In broad terms, access in the North and North/East (Somaliland and Puntland respectively) is better than any region in South/Central Somalia. While numerous factors might explain this difference, a dominant factor is that the North and North/East are governed and controlled by a single political entity, with no serious challenger to that authority. North-East: However recently, security situation slightly deteriorated with assassinations of government officials in the main towns of Bosaso and Garowe. Overall no significant security threats and challenges in terms of humanitarian access have been noted thus far in Puntland. SC continues to implement programme activities through national staff that are local to the communities within which we work. Our national staff are able to carry out the majority of project activities in the current environment, though disruptions such as power vacuums and outbreaks of fighting sometimes cause SC to restrict movements of national staff or suspend activities for short periods of time. SCs low profile policy has thus far been effective and has allowed us to continue activities with a minimum of disruption owing to insecurity. To mitigate risks linked to insecurity, staff employed on the project are mostly people belonging to the communities where the project is implemented; who generally receive warning of impending threats and are able to adapt their behaviour and movements accordingly. SC also counts on its good relationships with the local authorities and population to be alerted on a preventative basis to such risks, as has been the case until now. In the event that SC is unable to send international staff back to the field, we will operate on a remote control basis from both Hargeysa and Nairobi. Staff can travel relatively easily to those locations and SCs presence there will allow staff members to follow the context and have a clear understanding of security, thereby allowing SC to send back internationals as soon as possible. SC has security guidelines in place. A country/area specific security plan has been created for all areas of operation and feeds into the general SC Somalia security guidelines. This includes contingency planning and evacuation routes by road and air from all base locations. A dedicated Safety and Security Manager is in place and is monitoring the security /political situation on a daily basis, enforcing security management policies and procedures and supporting Security Focal Points in each base location. This individual has also in the past been responsible for coordination of logistics, given the synergy between security and logistics. However, given increasing demands from both the security and logistics management sides, SC plans to split this role into two distinct positions, both at an international-staff coordinator level. Security considerations Security situation in the field, describe briefly While a prevailing stability provides respite from conflict, the situation in Puntland remains critical; financial resources are limited, food security remains a concern and the vulnerable population is growing. There still exists an unresolved boundary dispute with Somaliland over the western regions of Sool and Sanaag which results in sporadic clashes over the last four years. In rural areas of Puntland, inter and intra-clan clashes and banditry persist.

22

SINGLE FORM 27/11/2007

While generally, humanitarian access through Puntland is unhindered, increased security incidents targeting humanitarian assistance and workers have been reported since the beginning of 2007. In the last three years and particularly since mid-2006, the number of people spontaneously moving into Puntland has risen fleeing insecurity as well as economic reasons. IDPs and returnees occupy the major towns particularly Bosaso, Gaalkacyo, Garowe and Gardho. Reports suggest that this has detrimentally impacted on the standard of living of the host population who are obliged to assist (with whatever support they can) through the extensive Somali family network and putting great additional strain on the areas limited resources. The rule of law remains weak, vulnerable groups particularly IDPs, the urban destitute and poor, suffer regular infringements of their human rights. There have been reported rapes in camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Bosaso, which are committed either by men from the host community or other IDPs. Furthermore, in the recent past, there has been reported targeting incidents against the Government officials in Bosaso, with a number of them loosing their lives. SC has in place security kits (for hibernation purposes: rations, kitchen utensils, water supply, hygiene products, etc. and Fast Grab Bags) and medical kits (medical trauma treatment kits to be kept in vehicles, office / guesthouse). In order to ensure the ongoing utility of these kits, they require regular maintenance and refresher stocks of consumables and drugs. SC is planning a review of communications systems as well. As part of security awareness, Security and Logistics trainings are planned for local and international staff working in Puntland and other regions of Somalia. In regards to collection, exchange and analysis of security information, SCs main interlocutors are NGO NSP, INGOs operating in Puntland, and UNDSS. The latter have been able to provide us with daily information collected on the ground, as well as on a provincial scale, owing to their coverage of the proposed area of intervention and all their consequent security field assessments. However, it is important to note that such information is used to cross-check SCs own information. NGO NSP, for example, acts as a relay of what NGOs and authorities communicate on. Security matters have been followed and dealt with according to SCs usual protocols and relying on national staff on site. Has a specific security protocol for this Action been established? Yes No Standard procedures If yes please elaborate: Any visit of international staff to Puntland region requires the establishment of temporary security and stand-by evacuation plans. These are developed by the SC Somalia Crisis Management Team through a rigorous and iterative process prior to travel and must be signed off by the SC Somalia Country Director. Regional and London Headquarters staff are also involved in the development and sign-off of these temporary arrangements. The security guidelines and procedures described in section 8.2.1 govern the management of national staff security. These are reviewed on an ongoing basis, in close collaboration with national staff in Puntland and Hargeysa, the country office Crisis Management Team, and relevant SC regional and headquarters staff members. Are field staff and expatriates informed of and trained in these procedures? Yes No Each international staff member is briefed and regularly updated on the prevailing security situation, as relevant to their expected work and travel. National staff are involved in the design of the security measures and evaluation of the situation as well as weekly security reporting to the expatriate staff. National staff security is followed up on by Security Focal Points (SFP) of the country programme. Specific security training is provided to key staff, especially those with a role in security management on the ground in Puntand. Additionally, national staff based in Puntland 23

SINGLE FORM 27/11/2007

have weekly and daily security meetings at the outset of each working day to compare notes on the situation and determine whether field movement is advisable on a given day.

COMMUNICATION, VISIBILITY AND INFORMATION ACTIVITIES

Planned communication activities (in field and/or in Europe) Throughout Somalia and Somaliland, SC adopts a low profile approach to its operations because of security risk mitigation. Field level communications are therefore limited in many locations. SC will use its extensive global network to highlight the plight of children in Somalia and will acknowledge the support of ECHO on all related communications. During the process of project implementation, to raise and share key issues emerging from the project, the project will use visual aids (pictures, photos), as part of the documentation process of the project implementation process. Each report - terminal reports, evaluations, relevant documents - will identify ECHO as the funder and will bear the logo of both ECHO and SC. Visibility on durable equipment, major supplies, and at project locations ECHOs logo will be clearly visible in all SC nutritional centres and on major supplies and durable equipment when appropriate with regards to security considerations. SC does not generally place visibility on vehicles for security reasons. However all nutrition sites will be have ECHO visibility placed on them. Planned publication activities
