SUBJECT: DPPA SOMALI REGION DEYR ASSESSMENT 
 
------- 
SUMMARY 
------- 
 
1.  On December 21, members of the United States Government (USG) 
Humanitarian Assistance Team (HAT) in Ethiopia attended the 
Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (GFDRE) 
Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Agency (DPPA) Deyr/Karan 
Assessment briefing for Somali Region.  According to assessment 
findings, more than 1.6 million people are confronting survival and 
livelihood protection deficits, including more than 730,000 people 
in immediate need of food assistance.  To meet the needs of affected 
populations, the DPPA recommends increased food assistance and 
multi-sectoral interventions, in addition to targeted nutrition 
surveys in the most-affected areas.  End summary. 
 
--------------- 
FOOD INSECURITY 
--------------- 
 
2.  From November 24 to December 14, a DPPA-led multi-agency 
assessment team visited Somali Region as part of a bi-annual 
national needs assessment.  According to assessment findings, the 
poor performance of the 2007 gu and deyr rains have resulted in 
significant crop failure and reduced livestock production in parts 
of all seven Somali Region zones, disrupting livelihoods and 
contributing to increased food security concerns.  Food prices in 
the region have increased from 60 to 130 percent above reference 
year levels and are expected to continue to increase through the 
January to April jilaal dry season. 
 
3. The DPPA assessment identified more than 1.6 million people 
facing survival and livelihood protection deficits, including an 
estimated 730,000 people in need of immediate food assistance, 
representing 19 percent of the total Somali Region population. The 
most-affected zones include Fik, Gode, and Degehabur.  Despite 
utilizing coping strategies, populations confronting survival 
deficits are unable to meet the 2,100 kilocalorie per day 
requirement, while populations confronting livelihood protection 
deficits are able to meet the daily caloric requirement, but at the 
cost of selling assets and undermining future livelihood security. 
To meet the needs of affected populations in Somali Region, the DPPA 
projects that emergency food and relief commodities will be required 
for the next three to six months. 
 
--------------------- 
ACUTE WATERY DIARRHEA 
--------------------- 
 
4.  The DPPA assessment noted the presence of acute watery diarrhea 
(AWD) in Degehamedo District, Degehabur Zone, and Segeg and Fik 
districts, Fik Zone.  Since November, community level reports 
indicate that AWD is spreading into rural areas.  However, exact 
numbers of AWD cases are unavailable as a result of the inability of 
the Regional Health Bureau to access affected areas. 
 
-------------------- 
DPPA RECCOMENDATIONS 
-------------------- 
 
5.  To address the needs of affected populations in Somali Region, 
the DPPA assessment recommends increased food, water, livestock, and 
health interventions, in addition to identifying the need for 
targeted nutritional surveys in the most affected areas.  The DPPA 
highlighted the need for an immediate increase in the delivery and 
distribution of food assistance to the region.  According to the 
DPPA, the lack of food availability in the region represents the 
most pressing need.  For this reason, the DPPA recommends an 
increase in food assistance, in place of cash-for-work 
interventions. 
 
----------------------- 
CONCLUSION AND COMMENTS 
----------------------- 
 
6.  The DPPA Deyr/Karan Assessment results for Somali Region 
provides a significant overview of population vulnerability in the 
region, including the identification of more than 1.6 million people 
confronting survival and livelihood deficits.  However, the 
assessment provided limited details regarding specific 
recommendations and locations of non-food interventions.  In 
addition, the DPPA assessment results do not address the nutritional 
status of affected populations or regional security and access 
restrictions.  In an effort to verify the magnitude and severity of 
the current food security crisis outlined in the DPPA assessment, 
the USG HAT is preparing assessment visits to Somali Region in the 
coming weeks. End comment.
