Some Encouraging Developments on Access in 2006
Developments include : - MOU - Prime Minister and UN Humanitarian Coordinator on enhancing access - Local reconciliation initiatives in drought affected areas - Local Level humanitarian partners disseminating principles on unhindered access and protection to elders, community leaders and other de facto local authorities

Outlook
Gu will be below normal and assistance will be required until the end of 2006
![Page 18: SOMALIA MARCH 2006. Political Context Fifteen years of armed conflict and generalized violence TFG working towards building peace but this will take time](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ec05503460f94bcbd7f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2006 CAP Funding Overview
To meet the urgent humanitarian needs Revised CAP 2006 seeks
$US 326,718,040(From $US 174,116,815)
92 projects through 12 UN agencies, 13 INGOs and 5 LNGOs
More than 85% of the increase is due to food relief requirements until the end of 2006
(taking into account worse case scenario of poor Gu rains)
![Page 19: SOMALIA MARCH 2006. Political Context Fifteen years of armed conflict and generalized violence TFG working towards building peace but this will take time](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ec05503460f94bcbd7f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
As at 20 March CAP is $US 79,088,793 covered
which is
24% of Revised CAP 2006 ($US 326,718,040)
Food Sector is 40% funded (with more pledges in pipeline)
This is encouraging but continued efforts are required to secure funds for under funded sectors such as
Agriculture, Health, Education, Coordination and Security

Urgent Need For Life-Saving Assistance
The works and efforts of humanitarian organizations continue to play a vital role …. and at critical times like now - provide life-saving assistance
An efficient and adequate response will enhance local
reconciliation processes and contribute to peace and security of country during these challenging times
![Page 22: SOMALIA MARCH 2006. Political Context Fifteen years of armed conflict and generalized violence TFG working towards building peace but this will take time](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ec05503460f94bcbd7f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Way Ahead
Need to provide an effective, timely and efficient response to avoid further catastrophe and famine
Humanitarian organizations have a critical role to play at what could be a turning point in Somalia’s history
In 2006 through the CAP appeal we have already secured 24% funding which is unprecedented at this stage of the year - but we still require more to avert a monumental and devastating collapse of millions of Somali lives ….
