Title:
Somalia - Humanitarian Emergency Assistance to Cyclone and Flood Victims
Detail:
The present intervention concerns the emergency humanitarian assistance to cyclone and flood victims. It’s designed because of the two natural disasters that hit Somalia from March to May 2018, including tropical cyclone “Sagar” in the North and devastating floods in the South causing 62 deaths and forcing hundreds of people out of their homes. These Recent floods have inundated crops and cultivable lands putting an estimated 1 million people in need of emergency food assistance. Lack of access to safe drinking water and destruction of key infrastructure has increased the difficulty of local authorities and development partners to contain the cholera outbreak. The expected outputs of the project are improved livelihoods, food security, and access to safe drinking water. The Bank’s grant of USD 1.0 million will address strategic areas where the funding gaps are the highest, providing access to safe drinking water, provision of food and restocking of livestock.
