5. Key Humanitarian Priorities 2006 • The 2006 Somalia Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP) identified the following : • 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 • Enhance the protection of and respect for the human rights and dignity of affected populations • Strengthen local capacity for social service delivery and response to natural or conflict related disaster

6. CAP 2006 Characteristics Focus Highly Consultative Realistic Projects Criteria For Project Selection

7. 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

8. 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.

SECTOR CAP Requirements US$(Millions) Number of Projects Agriculture 24 18 Education 16 15 Food 33 1 Health 28 20 Protection/Human Rights/Rule of Law 16 19 Multi Sector (Reintegation returnees and IDPs) 20 5 Security 2.5 6 CAP APPEAL 2006 CAP is appealing for US$ 174,116,815 for 77 projects through 13 UN agencies, 11 INGOs and 5 Somali NGOs

12. 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

13. 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.
