Somalia (including Somaliland) drought
Report Synopsis
On 22 March 2016 we responded to a funding alert in response to drought in Somalia (including Somaliland).
About 731,000 Somalis face acute food insecurity while an additional 2.3 million people are at risk of sliding into the same situation, bringing the number of Somalis in need to about 3 million (WHO, 2015 Humanitarian Needs Overview), specifically agro-pastoralist and pastoralist communities.

According to the United Nation’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA)’s Financial Tracking Service (FTS), donors have committed/contributed US$156.4 million of humanitarian assistance to Somalia since the start of 2016. The three largest donors in 2016 so far are the United Kingdom (US$39.0 million), the EU Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection department (ECHO; US$32.4 million) and Germany (US$16.4 million). In 2015, a total of US$608.6 million was committed/contributed to Somalia.

The UN-coordinated Somalia Humanitarian Response Plan for 2016 has requested US$885 million from donors. The appeal is currently 11% covered at US$97 million. A further US$59.3 million was committed or contributed outside of the appeal.
