General

This project will provide a package of life-saving integrated interventions for women and children affected by conflict and acute malnutrition in South Central Somalia, Somaliland and Puntland regions, as well as IDP settlements. Through this project, UNICEF will provide integrated interventions through fixed and mobile outreach to enable communities to access quality primary health care, nutrition and WASH services and build resilience against repeated shocks. Malgré l’amélioration de la situation en matière de sécurité alimentaire en Somalie, les besoins humanitaire restent importants en raison du conflit qui perdure et des chocs climatiques répétés. On estime que 4,2 millions de personnes, dont 2,6 millions de personnes déplacées et 2,5 millions d'enfants, ont besoin d'une aide humanitaire. La situation en matière de nutrition reste grave, 1,5 million de personnes auront besoin d'un soutien nutritionnel d'urgence en 2019. De ceux-ci, 954 000 sont enfants de moins de 5 ans souffrent de malnutrition, dont 173 000 enfants à risque de malnutrition aiguë sévère (SAM). Les épidémies récurrentes de maladies - y compris la diarrhée aqueuse aiguë, le choléra et la rougeole - représentent une menace majeure pour les enfants. Sur les 4,9 millions d'enfants en âge d’être scolarisés en Somalie, environ 3 millions, soit plus de 60 pour cent, ne le sont pas. Les violations graves à l'encontre des enfants sont en augmentation, 3 566 enfants, dont 569 filles, ayant été victimes de violences commises par les parties au conflit - principalement des enlèvements et des recrutements/utilisations par les forces et groupes armés - entre janvier et septembre 2018. Cela représente une augmentation de 44 % des violations par rapport aux niveaux de 2017.
