State of Drought Condition in S/land: An Assessment Report Conducted in Eastern Regions and M/Jeex Region

  1. Executive Summary
  • Pre-drought conditions, including depleted berkeds and shallow wells, as well as a loss of pasture, were observed during the assessment, especially in Sool, Sanaag and Togdheer regions.
  • 50% of assessed communities reported displacement of populations related to water shortage, which took place since October 2020. At least, an estimated 17,700 people in the 20 assessed locations have been Migrated due to poor Deyr rain in the past 2 -3 months.
  • Out of 40 communities covered by the assessment, it was reported that there are 118 shallow wells, of which only 29 have some water (25%). Besides, 27 % of assessed Berkeds are already depleted and 25 % have less than half of water.
  • In all communities assessed in Sool, Sanaag and Togdheer, the water price per jerrican has increased compared to the normal time. On average, the price of water per jerrican is now 2.6 times higher than before.
  • 85% of the assessed communities raises concerns over the lack of water for livestock, and 83% of the communities expressed a lack of pasture.
  • More than half of the assessed communities estimate that due to the current poor Deyr rain, most of the pasture would dry up. More concerns were raised among the communities in Togdheer region in which 80% of assessed communities consider that the situation is critical.
  • 13 out of 40 assessed locations (33%), the community reported an increase in waterborne diseases in the last four weeks.
  • As of December 2020, although the current situation is not yet the peak of the drought, the risk of the deterioration of drought in the coming months (early 2021) is very high. The immediate response of water provision, as well as anticipatory and early actions, are necessary to mitigate the shocks.

RAPID DROUGHT ASSESSMENT REPORT 29 April – 02 May 2019

1.   INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND

 

This drought assessment was launched after consecutive rainfall failures (Deyr 2018 and Gu 2019) were observed and widespread water and food shortages were reported in many regions of Somaliland. The major objective of the assessment was to find out the current drought conditions in regions of Somaliland, especially in the key hotspot areas, the impact of the reported drought conditions and the most critical needs of the people affected (host community as well as IDPs). The hotspot areas were identified by the government of Somaliland (represented by NADFOR) and coordinated with the sub-sectors and humanitarian partners. The assessment was also expected to reveal the food security situation, water accessibility, and the status of education especially the school attendance status of young boys and girls.

 

2.   OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSESSMENT

 

•    To  assess  the  severity  of  the  drought  conditions  in  hotspot  areas  in  Somaliland  given  the underperformance of the Deyr 2018 and the Gu 2019 rains.

•    To assess the current food security situations including availability, accessibility & utilization among the IDPs and host community.

•    To assess the availability of water as well as the status of water sources including access to water by the local population, and practice regarding hygiene & sanitation.

•   To identify potential risk concerns that women, men & youth in IDPs and host community may face.

•    To assess the current shelter/NFI’s needs and observe education conditions of people in hot spot areas.

•    To assess displacement trends and  identify gaps and needs of the displaced population living in settlements, including needs for the provision of Camp Management services

•    To identify gaps and understand the priority needs of vulnerable communities for an appropriate and coordinated response.

Sagar Cyclone in Somaliland: Damage, Economic Loss, Necessary Interventions, and Financial Needs

FORWARD

Sagar cyclone was considered as one of the largest and most severe disaster that Somaliland experienced. The severity of the cyclone was inflated by vulnerability of the people to disasters and fragile environment. It has caused destruction in the lives of the people, economy, education and environment at large.  This timely report focuses the damages, economic losses and interventions that are needed to restore livelihood assets, social amenities and environment. The report will be an indication of consequences left by the cyclone and foundation of history that can help future generation to inquire insights on evolution and effects resulted by sagar cyclone.

 

Despite the fact that, in each challenge there is an opportunity, and one of the opportunities we came across during the emergency response, is how the entire community is united and cooperated together from President, vice president, ministries, authorities, local and international organization, and communities themselves to respond to cyclone and save the lives of the affected people. This created a sense of togetherness and self-reliance which can be sustained towards disaster risk management and sustainable development in Somaliland.

 

However, NADFOR felt the need to establish comprehensive report on effects, damages, and losses resulted by the cyclone, and necessary interventions in monetary value. Thus, I hail international and local organizations to adjust their recovery and resilience interventions with information indicated in this report. Donors and Government are required to jointly fund the necessary interventions revealed in the report to restore damaged livelihood assets, environment and other social amenities.  

 

Lastly, I would like to acknowledge humanitarian assistances from local and international organizations, government and private sectors, universities, community based organizations, United Arab Emirate (UAE), and Djibouti which took a great role in saving the lives of thousands of people. Also would like to register thanks to government staffs/sectors that shared with the information collected from the areas affected by the cyclone in pursuit to their mandate which helped the production of this report. Special thanks are given to Ahmed Mohamed Diriye, Sharmaarke Abdi Musse, Mohamed Abdalle Hussein, Mubarik Abdullahi Ibrahim, and Ismail Mohamed Ahmed who put laborious work in producing this report. 

 

 

 

 

With best Regards

 

 

Commissioner of NADFOR

 Faisal Ali Sh. Mohamed
