This book was released on 2012-06-02 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to UNICEF, an estimated 2.3 million children in the region are acutely malnourished, half a million of whom are at risk of imminent death. Unfortunately, this crisis is expected to worsen in the coming months, eclipsing the famine in Ethiopia in the mid-1980s that elicited first global public outcry and then a great response, as demonstrated by memorable events, such as Live Aid. The broad public awareness of that crisis in the 1980s appears to be absent today, despite a worsening humanitarian situation and increasing need for aid.
Book Synopsis Humanitarian Crisis and Response in the Horn of Africa by : Charley J. Newsome
Download or read book Humanitarian Crisis and Response in the Horn of Africa written by Charley J. Newsome and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of the worst drought in 60 years, regional conflicts, and conflict within states, a humanitarian emergency of massive proportion is unfolding in the Horn of Africa region with more than 13.3 million people affected, 750,000 of whom need food assistance in the near future to avoid death. Somalia has been hardest hit so far, creating population displacement within its borders and a refugee crisis of nearly 1 million people in the region, primarily in Kenya and Ethiopia. The international community is responding, and the humanitarian needs are expected to rise and will likely demand sustained attention. This book provides an overview of the current status of the crisis, a summary of the background on the region, a framework for the international and humanitarian response, and an analysis of some of the operational challenges.
Book Synopsis A Dangerous Delay by : Debbie Hillier
Download or read book A Dangerous Delay written by Debbie Hillier and published by Oxfam. This book was released on 2012 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 13 million people are still affected by the crisis in the Horn of Africa. There were clear early warning signs many months in advance, yet there was insufficient response until it was far too late. This briefing, published jointly by Oxfam and Save the Children, examines the factors that allowed a drought in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and Djibouti to develop into a full-scale crisis of hunger and livelihoods, such that millions of people suffered and thousands died. Its main focus is the response of international aid system, although the ultimate importance of enhanced resilience for the communities themselves is recognised. Recommendations: A change in approach to chronic drought situations is needed: managing the risks, not the crisis. This means that the all actors {u2013} national governments, donors, NGOs, and the UN need to: act decisively on information from early warning systems and not wait for certainty before responding; actively seek to reduce drought risk in all activities, ensuring that long-term development interventions increase resilience and adapt to the changing context; and change organisational structures, invest in people and provide flexible funding in order to break down the divisions between humanitarian and development work.
Book Synopsis Famine in Africa by : von Braun, Joachim
Download or read book Famine in Africa written by von Braun, Joachim and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though famine has affected many parts of the world in the twentieth century, the conditions that produce famineextreme poverty, armed conflict, economic and political turmoil, and climate shocksare now most prevalent in Africa. Researchers differ on how to address this problem effectively, but their arguments are often not informed by empirical analysis from a famine context. Broadening current theories and models of development for conquering famine, Famine in Africa grounds its findings in long-term empirical research, especially on the impact of famine on households and markets. The authors present the results of field work and other research from numerous parts of Africa, with a particular focus on Botswana, Ethiopia, Niger, Rwanda, Sudan, and Zimbabwe. With these data, the authors explain the factors that cause famines and assess efforts to mitigate and prevent them. Famine in Africa is an important resource for international development specialists, students, and policymakers.

Book Synopsis Response to the Horn of Africa Emergency by :
Download or read book Response to the Horn of Africa Emergency written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the recurring drought situation in the Horn of Africa, UNICEF had integrated disaster risk reduction -- particularly drought mitigation -- into its regular programmes since the end of 2010 and had accelerated its response to the effects of the worsening drought since the end of 2010. An even worse situation was averted across much of the Horn of Africa as systems and services -- such as the UNICEF supported Health Extension Programme in Ethiopia -- were already in place to mitigate the effects of the drought on the most disadvantaged people. With the rapid escalation of the crisis in mid-2011, UNICEF scaled up operations in all affected countries significantly. Generous public and private funding contributions enabled the rapid expansion of the emergency programmes for famine-affected populations in Somalia; the provision of life-saving services for thousands of refugees crossing into Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti; and the strengthening of existing programmes in drought-affected communities in Kenya and Ethiopia.
Book Synopsis Adapting to Drought by : Michael Mortimore
Download or read book Adapting to Drought written by Michael Mortimore and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989-03-30 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book embodies the results of thirteen years of research in drought-prone rural areas in the semi-arid zone of northern Nigeria. It describes the patterns of adaptive behaviour observed among Hausa, Ful'be and Manga communities in response to recurrent drought in the 1970s and 1980s. The question of desertification is explored in an area where the visible evidence of moving sand dunes is dramatic blame are examined in relation to the field evidence. A critique is offered of deterministic theories and authoritarian solutions. Professor Mortimore demonstrates a parallel between the observable resilience of semi-arid ecosystems and the adaptive strategies of the human communities that inhabit them and suggests policy directions for strengthening that resilience.

Book Synopsis Famine in Somalia by : Daniel G. Maxwell
Download or read book Famine in Somalia written by Daniel G. Maxwell and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some 250,000 people died in the southern Somalia famine of 2011-12, which also displaced and destroyed the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands more. Yet this crisis had been predicted nearly a year earlier. The harshest drought in Somalia's recent history coincided with a global spike in food prices, hitting this arid, import-dependent country hard. The policies of Al-Shabaab, a militant Islamist group that controlled southern Somalia, exacerbated an already difficult situation, barring most humanitarian assistance, while donors counter-terrorism policies led to cuts and criminalized any aid falling into their hands. A major disaster resulted from the production and market failures precipitated by the drought and food price crisis, while the famine itself was the result of the failure to quickly respond to these events-and was thus largely human-made. This book analyses the famine: the trade-offs between competing policy priorities that led to it, the collective failure in response, and how those affected by it attempted to protect themselves and their livelihoods.It also examines the humanitarian response, including actors that had not previously been particularly visible in Somalia-from Turkey, the Middle East, and Islamic charities worldwide.
