Gu 2011 Seasonal Assessment Coverage
Field Access and Field Data Locations
 FSNAU Food security field analyst of
Hiran was able to collect data directly
from the field in Mataban areas.
 The information from other areas that
could not be accessed directly due to
insecurity was collected through
teleconferencing with enumerators, key
informants/focus groups
 Travelling through riverine & agro
pastoral LZ livelihoods for direct
observation followed by data collection
through teleconferencing
Main Livelihood Groups
Sources of Food and Income
Livelihood Groups & Main Sources of Food
and Iincome
1. Two Pastoral Livelihood (SIP and Hawd)
 Primary sources of income of poor:
sale of livestock & livestock products
 Primary sources of food of poor: own
production, purchase and food gifts
 Primary livelihood assets of poor:
camel, cattle and sheep/goats
2. Agropastoral and Riverine Livelihoods
 Hiran Agropastoral: Main sources of income: sale of livestock &
livestock products, crop sales, sale of bush products (charcoal, fire
wood, building sticks, fodder); main sources of food: own production,
purchase and food gifts
 Hiran riverine: Main sources of income: labour activities, sale of
crops, crop fodder and bush products; main source of food: own
production and purchases
Climate
Gu 2011 Seasonal Performance
Gu Seasonal Rains (April- June 2011)
Overall statement: Normal rains were received in
Southern Inland Pastoral (SIP) and parts of Hawd
pastoral LZ while the rainfall performance was
poor in agropastoral, riverine and parts of Hawd
pastoral LZ
•
•
•
•
Start of Season: started late 3rd dekad of April
and ended 3rd dekad of May 2011
Temporal and Spatial coverage: Average rains
with good impact on livelihoods were received
in SIP and parts of Hawd livelihood.
Poor Rains: All of Hiran agropastoral, riverine
and parts of Hawd livelihood zones (60 - 80 % of
LTM)
Hagaa Rain (June – July ): Light Hagaa rains
have been received in the southern part of
Jalalaqsi district

Civil Insecurity
Civil Security Situation:
•
Recurrent armed clashes between
opposing parties over the control of the
region further deteriorated security
situation. Beletweyne and its
surroundings are the epicentre of the
current conflict.
•
Regrouping and militia build-up in the
region likely to cause another large
confrontation
Direct and Indirect Impacts on Food Security
& Nutrition:
• Human death and injuries
• Trade disruptions
• Population displacement
• Restricted humanitarian interventions
• Outmigration of business and traders,
negatively impacting food availability
and job opportunities of poor households

Agriculture
Regional Cereal Flow
• Local cereal flow from normal
sources – from Bay and the two
Shabelle regions have already
terminated due to poor crop
production
• Current cereal inflow to the region
is commercial food aid (Ethiopian
side) through northern regions and
direct cross border trade; the
supply has reduced due to
insecurity.
Agriculture
Regional Trend in Sorghum Prices and Daily
Labour Wage Rates
Regional Trend in Cereal Prices (Maize)
Factors Influencing:
Sorghum prices:
•Poor local crop production
•Cessation of cereal inflow from Bay and
two Shabelle regions as a result of poor
harvest failure.
•Civil insecurity restricting the trade flow
Labour rates:
• Increased job opportunities with cash
crop production in the riverine areas;
intensified activities in the wake of
Ramadan
Regional Trends in Daily Labour Rate

Agriculture
Regional Trend in TOT between Labour to Cereal
Regional Trends in Terms of Trade Between daily labour wage rate and white maize:
7kg/daily labour in Jul ‘11 vs 13kg in Jul ‘10.
Agriculture
Cash crop production
Cash crop production in
riverine livelihood is widely
practiced by better off
farmers throughout the year.
The main crops include:
onions, tomatoes,
watermelon, peppers. These
are supplied to both regional
markets as well as northern
regions (Puntland and
Somaliland)
Agriculture
Coping strategies
Coping strategies available for poor
HHs in riverine and agro pastoral
LZ include:
•Fodder sale
•Labour activities & migration
•Collection and sale of bush
products
•Kinship and social support
•Limited loan

Livestock
Rangeland Conditions and Livestock Migration- Gu 2011
• Water availability is average in livelihood
zones except parts of Hawd Pastoral,
which is experiencing moderate water
shortage due to poor rains
• Pasture condition is average in SIP and
parts of Hawd livelihoods, and very poor in
agro pastoral, riverine and parts of Hawd
LZ due to poor rains
• Livestock body condition is near normal to
normal in SIP and parts of Hawd LZ but
very poor in agro pastoral, riverine and
parts of Hawd LZ
• Normal migration to SIP and parts of
Hawd areas sharing the limited resources,
which had created early resource
depletion

ppp day via asset Stripping)
• Water Access: Populations in HE (< 7.5 litres ppp day - human usage
only); in AFLC (7.5-15 litres ppp day, accessed via asset stripping)
• Destitution/Displacement: Populations in HE (concentrated; increasing);
in AFLC (emerging; diffuse)
• Coping: Populations in HE (“distress strategies”; CSI significantly > than
reference); in AFLC (“crisis strategies”; CSI > than reference; increasing
• Livelihood Assets: Populations in HE (near complete & irreversible
depletion or loss of access); in AFLC (accelerated and critical depletion or
loss of access)
MAP 1: IPC, Gu 2011
HIRAN
Main Influencing Factors for Rural IPC Situation
Aggravating Factors:
 Very poor rainfall in terms of coverage and intensity in cropping areas and near average for pastoral
livelihoods except in pockets of Hawd livelihood
 Complete absence of cereal stocks due to 7-8 consecutive seasons of poor rainfall leading to successive
seasons of cereal crop failure
 Very low Gu 2011 cereal production of 605MT (8% of PWA)
 Poor pasture conditions in agro-pastoral and riverine and high fodder prices
 Very poor livestock body condition (cattle and sheep) with high deaths in Deyr 2010 and Jilaal 2011
 Decreasing trends in herd size of all species
 Significant increase in maize prices (85% from June 2010) and absent sorghum on the markets
 Lack of red sorghum in the main reference markets
 Weak purchasing power: ToT daily labour wage/ white maize (from 10kg in June ’10 to 6kg in June ’11)
and local goat/ white maize (from 84 kg in June ’10 to 39 kg in June ’11).
 Recurrent armed clashes between opposing parties over the control of the region resulting in
displacements and trade disruptions
 Restricted humanitarian interventions
Mitigating Factors:
 Access to limited irrigated fodder sales and cash crops
 Availability of agricultural labour (cash crops by the better-off and upper middle) for the poor in riverine
areas
 Migration options to Somali region of Ethiopia to access better pasture, water and humanitarian
assistance.
 Social support, including remittance contribute rural/urban income
