General Overview

The country is currently facing a food security crunch as a result of the recent acute shortage of the country’s staple food, maize and the subsequent increase in the maize prices. According to a recent report published by International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), higher food prices can be very devastating to the world’s poorest populations for whom food accounts for up to 80% of daily expenses. The increase in food prices is expected to push about 100 million people into deeper poverty, nearly 30 million of them in Africa. In the first quarter of 2008, wheat and maize prices have drastically increased by 130% and 30% respectively in comparison to 2007. As a net importer of food, Kenya has not been spared. The last few months have seen a sharp increase of up to 40% in the price of maize flour (staple food). As a result, the Government is developing remedial strategies that will ease some of the burden, especially to low income households.

A draft law has been published which proposes the mechanism for a local tribunal. The establishment of a tribunal to try leaders who organized or funded the post-election violence was one of the recommendations made by the Waki Commission. Chambers proposed include the Appeal, Trial, Defense and Prosecution Chambers. An Institutional Reforms workshop organized by civil society criticized the proposed defense chamber, saying that it overlooked the fact that Kenya did have a working and functional government and that the country is not in a state of anarchy. Various stakeholders are analyzing the proposed structure, mandate and character

and will submit their recommendations to the Government.

II. Humanitarian Situation Food Security A severe maize shortage led to a sharp increase in maize flour prices in the past few months. The maize shortage has also contributed to food insecurity in the country. Various assessments have been conducted in the recent past, with a focus on rural populations. Given the current situation, the Kenya Food Security Steering Group (KFSSG) is organizing a comprehensive assessment that will inform food security practitioners of the security and nutrition conditions and priorities for response in urban areas. The Government has announced the following measures that will be undertaken to curb the current crisis: • Maize flour price will reduce from Ksh.120 to Ksh.72 for middle class citizens and Ksh.52 for low class citizens. • The National Cereals and Produce Board has been ordered to release at least 300,000 bags to the millers for processing with immediate effect. • The Government has increased the Cereal Board of Kenya (CBK) buying price to Ksh.1950 from Ksh.1750 per bag to encourage farmers to sell their maize • With the anticipation of a good harvest, importation has been put on hold until further notice. At least 1.2 million bags of maize imported from South Africa have arrived at the port of Mombasa. It is assumed that once transported to the warehouse, the maize will then be availed to the millers. A lot has to be done for the problem of food insecurity to be addressed in totality including continued investment in Agriculture. The Government has also been urged to review some policies that have been blamed for poor production in the country. With appropriate investments, policies and development programmes in place, poor rural people have great potential to increase food production and are likely to benefit from higher prices, improve their lives and contribute to solving food insecurity. Recent heavy rains that peaked in November in other parts of the country have enhanced prospects for food availability and improved environmental conditions. These should in turn reverse the decline in pastoral food security. According to the Kenya Food Security update for November, the rains have accelerated widespread planting of the short rains maize crop and a good harvest is anticipated, as long as the temporal and spatial distribution remains favourable and their intensity is moderated through the end of December. Current food security conditions

Livestock diseases such as Peste des Petits Ruminant (PPR) remain endemic, while malnutrition rates remain of concern. Acute child malnutrition rates remain persistently above WHO’s emergency threshold of 15 per cent in north, north western and north eastern parts of the country.

Urban Assessment The Data and Information Sub-Committee of KFSSG (DISK) has just completed the development of a checklist template that will be used for urban assessment expected to start in the week of 8 December. The main objective of the assessment is to obtain initial understanding of the characteristics of food insecurity indicators in the urban informal settlements (slum areas). This study is prompted by the impact of the ongoing high food prices, post election crisis among other cross-cutting sectoral factors that require analysis. The assessment is intended as a first step of an in-depth quantitative urban baseline study planned for early next year. Floods Floods have subsided in most parts of the country. However, affected populations in North Eastern and Coast Provinces still require humanitarian assistance. In addition, flooding around the Lake region, in the pastoral districts of Turkana, Mandera, Garissa, Tana River, in localized areas of the central highlands, and in southeastern lowlands, has resulted in the loss of life and livelihoods and displacement. In Mandera, heavy rains that peaked in November and resulted in heavy flooding caused extensive damage as well as displacement. In Mandera central, 43 irrigation pumps were destroyed. In Mandera East, 70 irrigation pumps were damaged and 23 have been lost. In addition, Ksh. 1.5 million worth of farm tools have been damaged and 495 acres of crop destroyed. In addition, 167 meters of suction pipe and 217m of lined canals have been damaged/destroyed while 3km of embankments along the canals were damaged. Immediate requirements in Mandera include relief food; non-food items (seeds); health outreach and water purification. In the long term, improved water management is required including irrigation systems, river banks stabilisation, dykes to control floods, dams to capture floods water, rehabilitation and construction of flood gates, 300 spare parts of pumps and assorted farm tools. Mandera conflict The security situation in Mandera has improved slightly especially around Mandera town. A resurgence of conflict on 16th October 2008 between the Murule and Garre clans in Mandera resulted in 38 deaths and several injuries. In addition twelve rape cases were reported, 920 families were displaced and schools were closed. The flash floods in October triggered the conflict between the Garre and Murulle clans who have a long-standing and deep seated hostility between them. Other drivers of conflict in Mandera have been attributed to development work that was not conflict sensitive, the recent flash floods that displaced the two Murulle and Garre clans into each other’s territories and the demarcation of district and constituency boundaries that zoned population and limited their movements. Some of the structural causes of the conflict include unresolved grievances between clans, competition for scarce resources and political rivalry. Kenyan military were deployed to quell the violence in Mandera but little has been achieved. Human rights organisations accused the military of gross human rights abuses and the operation created mistrust between the state security and the community. A second intervention includes the Nairobi peace process that involved Members of Parliament from North Eastern province. The process led to a peace agreement being signed on 9 October, 2008. Religious and clan elders continue to engage with civil society and the District Peace Committees to support traditional peace initiatives in the region, including cross-border efforts to build trust and facilitate reconciliation of affected communities. The Government has also intensified its security operation along the Somalia border initially to rescue 2 Italian catholic nuns abducted in El wak (Mandera) in the week ending 14 November. Most local residents have fled Elwak town to other centers within greater Mandera or across into

3

neighbouring Wajir District in fear of the military operation. Currently, at least 244 households displaced are camping in Fincharo, 660 in Shimbir Fatuma and 350 in Takaba. In addition, 75 households have crossed into Wajir while 236 are in Kotulo (on the border of Wajir and Mandera districts). Some of the displaced families have settled on the Ethiopian side of Suftu and on the outskirts of Wajir. A comprehensive assessment to determine the needs of the population is yet to be undertaken. Refugees As the security situation in Somalia remains precarious, more refugees are crossing over into Kenya. 9,000 new Somali refugees were registered in October alone and the trend is expected to continue to the end of 2008 and possibly into 2009. Of concern as well is that the three existing camps are holding almost three times their capacity. As of 17 November, the population in Dadaab stood at 227,000 excluding some 6,000 who were awaiting formal registration. In response to the increased number of refugee arrivals in the camps, a new site has been identified to accommodate the new arrivals. The site is located approximately 5 km from Hagadera camp and approximately 11 km from Alinjuguru. A technical team from Garissa visited the proposed new site to carry out an assessment. The assessment report will be presented to the District Development Committee for deliberations and approval following which UNHCR will then carry out water availability and an environmental assessment. UNHCR has requested WFP to consider providing a one month general food distribution to all new arrivals who are awaiting final registration. As of 26 November, the total population at Kakuma camp is 50,416 refugees. At least 497 new arrivals have been registered in November alone. Voluntary repatriation to south Sudan resumed on 18 November with at least 112 refugees departing from Kakuma camp to Eastern Equatoria. So far this year, 9.658 refugees have returned. In addition, the UNHCR in Nairobi has witnessed an increase in the registration of asylum seekers from the Democratic Republic of Congo due to the insecurity in north Kivu as well as tension in south Kivu. An estimated 34,891 refugees are in Nairobi. Security North eastern The general security situation in Mandera remains calm. However, there is tension along the Kenya Somalia border. Some of the residents who fled to neighbouring towns are slowly trickling back. Provincial and District authorities have made an appeal to over 1000 residents who fled to Wajir and surrounding towns to return. The general security situation in Wajir District is calm. However, tension exists, between IDPs who fled Mandera and the host community. North western A livestock raid in the Lorengippi area (200 km from the main town of Lodwar) of north-western district of Turkana central has resulted in the deaths of at least 13 people with hundreds more persons displaced. According to the Turkana Central District Commissioner, about 300 raiders from Pokot North

attacked the area on 1 December. The Kenya Red Cross confirms that about 200 people have now been displaced out of their traditional shelters in Lorengippi. In addition, an estimated 2,000 head of livestock were taken away during the raid. Property and food stocks were also lost during the attacks. The population that is already being affected by drought depends on government food rations for their sustenance. The Kenya Red Cross has indicated that there is now an urgent need for food and non-food items that include temporary shelter for the affected populations.

Concern has been raised over the rise in cattle-rustling and counter-attacks particularly between the Turkana and the Pokot ethnic groups. The Government has been urged to increase its security personnel along its border with Uganda and Sudan to protect the population. Security personnel have been deployed to a different area of the district to deter further attacks. The chart to the left shows cumulative number of killings reported in pastoral areas between the months of January

and December 2008 Eastern The KRCS reports that security forces have subdued clan clashes along the border of Tharaka and Tigania in Meru district. The 10,000 people who had fled the area have since returned and the KRCS is distributing non-food items. North Rift The general situation in the north rift region was reported calm with no security incidents reported from transit sites and/or return areas. South Rift The situation in South Rift region remains stable with no security incidents from transit sites and/or return areas during the reporting period. The District Commissioners’ offices mandated to take over the payment of the resettlement package from the Ministry of Special Programmes, continue to face operational challenges. IDPs and returnees, have for instance, protested over delays in processing payment of the resettlement and shelter package and numerous complaints have been made of names missing from the beneficiary list in return areas. Overall, there are reports of tensions and threats in return areas which underscore the importance of continuing and expanding peace and reconciliation activities/meetings among returnees and their neighbours.

Population Movements and Displacement Trends As of 4 December, the Ministry of State for Special Programmes (MoSSP) reports that 5,021 IDPs remain in four camps that include a camp in Mt. Elgon. According to the KRCS 2,505 IDPs remain in the Eldoret Showground, Burnt Forest and Timboroa camps, with the majority 1,900 in Eldoret.

According to KRCS data based on food assistance provided through the EMOP, there are 103,518 IDP returnees in 131 transit sites. In addition, the Ministry reports that there 8 self help groups consisting of a total of 5,307 households who have collectively purchased land and have relocated.

II. Humanitarian Response (See Annex I for cluster response matrices) Floods response Kenya Red Cross has been monitoring the flood situation countrywide. A multi-sectoral team from the Kenya Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross/Crescent will be dispatched late in the week ending 5 December to Tana River, Wajir, Garissa and Mandera, among other areas, to undertake a detailed assessment of sectoral needs following the floods and come up with guidelines for future interventions. Food Assistance The Government has provided 1,057.5MT of relief food under the ongoing floods interventions in 11 districts. Kenya Red Cross has been appointed to co-ordinate the distribution of food to the affected people. Food has been delivered to Mandera District targeting 120,000 people for three months. Distribution of food aid to other districts is in the pipeline. Relief food is expected at the district headquarters any moment. WFP through the KRCS will continue to provide food to IDPs and returnees in PEV affected areas through March 2009 with a gradual reduction in beneficiary Location Beneficiaries numbers. The reduction began in the November cycle with the South Rift 85,129 70,563 phase out of households identified to have sufficient coping North Rift Total 155,692 mechanisms. Final rations to IDPs in the Eldoret Showground camp were distributed in the November cycle. The November distribution reached 210,000 beneficiaries. This number is expected to be reduced to just over 150,000 beneficiaries in January, with a gradual phase-out of food assistance in these areas in the first months of 2009. The second group to be phased-out in December are IDPs in peri-urban settlements and main camps relying on alternative livelihoods. Food distributions to support populations in transit sites and farms in identified districts will continue until the Emergency Operation comes to an end in March 2009. Verification exercises are ongoing to curb double registration of the fluid IDP population. WFP and the government are looking to address the targeting challenges that have disrupted food aid to the population of IDPs from Nakuru Showground camp who collectively relocated to Mawingo farm. Early Recovery and Food Security CARE has resumed activities in Mandera after temporary suspension due to insecurity. With funding from USAID and ECHO, the programme enhances the capacity of the community and local government to implement emergency preparedness plans, mitigate drought through the management of natural resources, and document lessons learned for improvement of policy. The programme also supports the development of livestock livelihoods that are more resilient to drought. UNDP and Ministry of Youth and Sports have been facilitating youth exchange programmes in Nairobi. The programme is engaging youths from Kibera and Msambweni through discussion and sporting events to celebrate peace. USAID/DAI is funding a project in partnership with the Nakuru DC’s Office to rehabilitate urban structures housing businesses that were damaged in the PEV. The project is also supporting the establishment of District Peace Committees. It is anticipated that the DPC will be operational from January 2009. UNDP and OCHA Kenya are collaborating to undertake research on the Mt. Elgon and Mandera conflicts. A two- day training for researchers took place from the 26- 28 November 2008.

The aim of the training was to equip participants with the knowledge of undertaking assessments in conflict areas through the use of a wide range of tools used to capture social, economic, governance and current modes of responses. Participants familiarized themselves with various frameworks for conflict analysis, the Early Warning and Early Response Handbook and existing Strategies for Peace that are applicable to the Kenyan situation. It is envisaged that the field work will be completed by the end of December 2008 which should be soon followed by an evaluation of the findings by key stakeholders. The core work will be done by a group of selected consultants. CCCM Eldoret – 100 IDPs from ASK showground returned to Mai Mahiu during the reporting period with one truck provided by government to transport IDPs belongings for the returnees. A further 50 households plan to leave from the showground to Yamumbi area in Uasin ngishu district. The group needs shelter support (tents) for use in their return/relocation area. Currently only 40 IDPs destined for Mai Mahiu are reported as remaining at Showground camp. A total population of 1,963 was recorded the by the Kenya Red Cross as ASK showground as at 24 November. Nakuru – On 25 November, UNHCR conducted a one-day training workshop on camp management/rehabilitation and returnee monitoring. Participants included senior government officials, Kenya Red Cross and humanitarian actors. Meanwhile at Naivasha Stadium camp, 280 families who has earlier declined the Ksh. 10,000 government financial assistance, met with the District Commissioner to accept the money. The group has since purchased land at Kikopey, Gilgil division, Naivasha district where they plan to settle. Protection A series of activities to observe 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence are being held in Nairobi and throughout the Rift Valley. Events will address sexual and gender based violence, sexual exploitation and abuse, child protection, and other protection issues and will conclude on Human Rights Day 10 December. In Nakuru, the launch was held on 25 November and marked with a procession and speech by the Chairperson of the National Commission on Gender and Development and other UN and NGO representatives. In the North Rift, the launch of the 16 days of activism with the theme, “Human rights for women, Human rights for all”, was marked with processions in Eldoret and Kitale. GBV Focus group discussions (FGDs) on GBV issues will be undertaken in 16 return and transit areas within Uasin Ngishu district within the 16 days period (1 to 10 December). On 17 November, UNHCR collaborated with the Danish Refugee Council to facilitate an orientation session for humanitarian workers on reporting cases of GBV. Participants were provided with a copy of the GBV incident reporting form and trained how to report GBV cases while respecting survivors’ rights to confidentiality and privacy. The Mully Children Family, a community-based organization which had been supporting orphans and exam candidates in the Eldoret Showground camp with food and school fees, have ended their activities with the onset of the winter school recess. WASH The Budalangi town water supply is now operational after a repair of the pump motor. The borehole for the Mukobola health center has also been repaired and the water supply resumed;

8

however, the pump needs to be upgraded to cope with the increased water needs as the center houses significant populations displaced by recurrent flooding. Lack of transportation has prevented the Nakuru District Public Health Officer from continuing with water quality testing in return areas. Insufficient chlorine supply means that the office is incapable of carring out treatment even if contamination is confirmed. Currently returnees are being provided with aquatabs and PUR sachets, but supplies are dwindling. Similarly, in Uasin Gishu district officials are unable to carry out water quality testing and cleaning of shallow wells because they lack fuel for transportation. Moreover in Molo district, the District Water Office has stopped water tankering to the 44 transit sites. The Nakuru DWO is presently tinkering water to about 5,000 households in the Pipeline collective relocation site at an unsustainable cost of KSh 1 million per month. More durable solutions, including household water filters, rain water harvesting, and spring catchments, to meet the water needs of returned and relocated populations are urgently needed. Rehabilitation of contaminated wells in the Rift Valley with CERF funding is ongoing. Shelter and Non Food Items Shelter and NFI needs in return areas/transit sites and host communities remain a priority concern. UNHCR undertook monitoring missions to Mullot transit site and Twendet return area, both in Narok district. Some of the returnees are land owners while the majority is renting land for farming. The main concern identified for the group is shelter. Most of the returnees claim that they have not received their resettlement grants. So far only 67 household families have received Ksh. 10,000 while only 3 household families are on the list for the Ksh. 25,000 payment. Returnees in Twendet reported that approximately 74 household families have returned to their farms since May. Shelter remains a need for the returnees. Returnees have reported that about 10 household families were not on the Ksh.25, 000 payment list. IOM has constructed 694 out of 700 shelters. The shelters have been constructed in Molo, Uasin Gishu and Lugari districts in a total of 12 areas of return (transit sites). Although the CERF project implementation period ended on 30 November, IOM has requested for a no cost extension into the month of December in order to monitor the “finishing” of the adobe walls by community members and the actual uptake of houses. Education The cluster is currently planning for and conducting assessments in PEV and flood affected areas to monitor the situation and prepare for the resumption of classes in January. Four Ministry of Education teams will conduct assessments of the Rift Valley, Western, Nyanza, Centeral/Eastern Provinces to monitor the progress on construction of 124 schools prior to the second allotment of funds and assess new requests and gaps, and evaluate the completed schools in Molo. Health Kenya Red Cross has set up three medical mobile teams in Wajir and Mandera with 21 health workers. Medical outreaches in Mandera – El Wak and Takaba, have served 7,952 people in the past seven weeks. At least 54 patients were referred to Mandera District Hospital. In the three Mandera districts there was a significant increase in reported cases of acute watery diarrhea, with 1,046 cases and 12 deaths reported between 28 October and 17 November. A technical team from the MoH, Provincial Health Office and WHO are assessing the situation. World AIDS Day was observed 1 December. Launching the government’s, “Total War on AIDS” the Minister of State for Special Programmes stated, "We intend to drive the HIV/AIDS prevalence from 7.8 percent to two percent." Currently it is estimated that two-thirds of Kenyans have never been tested, consequently 1 million infected Kenyans are unaware of their status. Testing is particularly low in the 50-64 age group and there is significant disparity between testing in urban

9

and rural populations, 50% and 30% having been tested respectively. A recent WHO report demonstrated that if voluntary testing could reach near 100% levels and antiretroviral treatment for those who test positive significantly increased, then within the next ten years a 95% decrease in HIV/AIDS cases could be possible. District Disaster Response planning workshop OCHA Kenya supported training of 42 members of the District Disaster Management Committees of 6 select low capacity, high risk districts from both Nyanza and Western Provinces. The training took place from 1-5 December, 2008. Each district had sent 7 participants drawn from different sectors and departments (Government, NGO, Kenya Red Cross and Municipal Authorities). The six districts in Nyanza province include, Nyando (mainly prone to floods & epidemics), Siaya (mainly prone to floods & epidemics) and Kisumu West (mainly prone to floods & epidemics, fires and urban disorders). Districts from western province include, Bunyala (Budalangi - mainly prone to floods), Samia (mainly prone to epidemics and floods) and Mt. Elgon (mainly prone to conflicts, and landslides and IDPs issues) During the training, the participants acquired knowledge and skills on the substantive areas of early warning and disaster response, dealing with complex emergencies, disaster risk management, principles of disaster response planning and the planning process, the Spehere Standards, Coordination and Information Managemnet in disaster response, Disaster Risk and Vulnerability Assessment and drafting the district disaster response plans. The training focused more on building capacity for response at the district level as part of strengthening disaster preparedness for effective response as per the fifth priority area of the Hyogo Framework for Action on DRR. The knowledge and skills acquired during the course is to help the trainees to hold consultative forums with other district stakeholders to draft respective district disaster response plans. The disconnect between the institutional and structural systems in disaster risk management was seen as the main challenge in addressing disaster issues in the districts. There will be follow up missions to the districts to assess progress and support the drafting of the disaster response plans as well as assist in the institutionalizing of the District Disaster Committees in an effort to strengthen capacities for effective response at local level. Humanitarian Funding On 24 November, humanitarian partners in Kenya launched the 2009 Emergency Humanitarian Response Plan (EHRP)- to donors the media, members of the humanitarian community and civil society partners. The appeal requests USD390 million to meet the most urgent needs of targeted populations: post election violence (PEV) affected and other displaced communities, food insecure populations and refugees. Of the total request, USD172.7 million has been requested for food aid and USD 127.7 million for multi sector assistance to refugees. The remaining, USD 90 million has been requested for interventions in early recovery and food security, education, health, nutrition, protection, shelter and water and sanitation as well as for support to coordination. In relation to funding for humanitarian interventions in 2008, as of 1 December, the Financial Tracking System (FTS) had recorded contributions and commitments to Kenya of USD 260.7 million USD 146.4 million was received through the 2008 EHRP. 74% of the total funding has been allocated to PEV related response.
