Key Message • The high level of food insecurity is expected to deteriorate particularly in Puntland and Somaliland where the impact of drought is intensifying even as the harsh Jilaal season prevails. Even in the context of increased likelihood for near - average 2016 Gu rainfall, the situation calls for close monitoring.
Key Message Cont’d • In order to effectively deliver planned short-term assistance to the affected communities, agencies require stronger coordination to ensure complementarity of activities and strengthened capacities in the affected areas to optimize impact, improve synergies and reduce duplication.
Key Message Cont’d • The El Nino-driven drought has left millions in Somalia in need of food and livelihood assistance. There is need for rapid action to scale up the drought response in Puntland and Somaliland in order to safeguard livelihoods and prevent further erosion of household’s nutrition and food security. There is a real risk in reversing the progress made in the drought-affected areas.
Key Message • Responses for January are low primarily due to internal (Programing etc.) and external factor (Lack of funding, implementation strategies are underway) • Partners to forward their plans and actuals to FSC.
