Key Humanitarian Priorities 2006
The 2006 Somalia Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP)
identified the following :
1. Increase access to basic humanitarian services for
vulnerable populations, in particular the one million people
in a state of Humanitarian Emergency and Livelihood
Crisis, IDPs and those living in areas of return and
resettlement
2. Enhance the protection of and respect for the human
rights and dignity of affected populations
3. Strengthen local capacity for social service delivery and
response to natural or conflict related disaster
CAP 2006 Characteristics
Focus
Highly Consultative
Realistic Projects
Criteria For Project Selection
Criteria For CAP Prioritization
• Target the priority vulnerable groups
• Clearly support the overall and sectoral goals
• Complementary (i.e no geographic duplication of projects)
• Based on demonstrable needs assessments
• Incorporate do no harm principles
• Developed and implemented alongside local counterparts
• Projects considered in light of the overall distribution of projects
within the sector
• Mainstream thematic issues such as gender and protection
77 projects in CAP this year as opposed to 95 projects in 2005
CAP and JNA
CAP : 12 month planning tool addressing immediate humanitarian
needs of vulnerable targeted group
JNA : A five year vision for recovery and reconstruction
•
CAP 2006 addresses the urgent humanitarian needs but also
provides the foundations from which the JNA can develop and grow
stronger.
•
There will always be overlap between humanitarian emergency
and transition - so to avoid duplication COORDINATION is
essential.

Making The Shift From Emergency To Recovery ……..
A Success
Commitment to funding humanitarian needs in 2006 will be critical to
ensure Somalia’s transition from emergency to recovery
Essential that financial support is also given to projects in those
geographical areas in the early stages of recovery – when the environment
allows - and without waiting for the outcome of the JNA
Funding pledged to Somalia in 2006 will positively impact the JNA and its
objectives
Finally ……………………………..
The JNA will have its foundations on what is
accomplished in the humanitarian sector now - and for
this reason the international community must continue
to act concertedly to meet humanitarian needs so that
they do not weaken reconstruction and development
efforts.
