KENYA SOMALIA- Emergency food security advisor

MISSION The Kenya / Somalia mission was established in 2007. At present, Solidarités International is implementing two projects in Kenya: one in North Horr, with an emphasis on WASH interventions targeting pastoral and agro-pastoral communities, and another in Nairobi’s slums, providing assistance to the urban poor. An additional 3-year Water Facility project is scheduled to start in North Horr. The main donors for Kenya are: the EC, AFD (French Development Agency) and DFID. In Somalia, Solidarités’ interventions are focused in South and Central Somalia. Currently a one-year WASH and food security project funded by ECHO and an 8-month food security project funded by CIAA (French Cooperation) are underway in Gedo, South Somalia. An additional emergency response project funded by OCHA is scheduled to start in Central Somalia. Additional fundraising efforts include a 6-month IDP protection proposal for Lower Juba, funded by UNHCR, and an emergency response project for Lower Juba funded by the French Government. The main donors for Somalia are: ECHO, DFID, UNHCR, and the UN.

EMERGENCY ACTION: SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL is stepping up its action to meet the basic needs of populations in Kenya and Somalia where the crisis caused by the combined effects of the drought, inflation and armed conflict has already killed thousands of people. SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL is increasing its activities and has sent technical experts and managers to reinforce the teams in the field. In arid areas of northern Kenya and southern Somalia, we are providing aid for around 100,000 people to help them to withstand water and food shortages: emergency distributions of water and food, construction and rehabilitation of drinking water facilities (wells, boreholes, water collection systems, underground reservoirs, dikes, dams)… In response to recurrent periods of drought, our teams help pastoral communities to improve their methods of adaptation and their resistance to future climate crises by protecting their livestock (fodder, concentrated food, veterinary care). The animals are then able to move between water points and pastures, which are now much further apart due to the disappearance of around one hundred water points (10 to 12 days walk, compared to 4 or 5 days walk a few months ago).
