The Somalia Aid Coordination Body (SACB) has developed a Project Matrix designed to illustrate activities of all SACB partners in Somalia, providing a practical tool for enhancing the coordination of aid to Somalia. The Project Matrix is intended to serve as a planning instrument by presenting the work of humanitarian and development organisations geographically and sectorally. It aims to foster greater coherence for emergency prevention, preparedness and response as well as promote greater cross-sectoral and harmonised rehabilitation and development initiatives. The Project Matrix is a living documentit is constantly being updated with information received from SACB partners. Along with current project information, recently archived project information is also accessible through the Matrix. The dynamic nature of the Matrix can be captured on the SACBs web page (www.sacb.info) where all confirmed changes are logged. CD Rom versions of the Matrix are available from the SACB Secretariat.

(Extracts from the introduction) The Somalia flow forecasting model (FFM) is a windows based flow forecasting model for the Juba and Shabelle rivers in Southern Somalia. The model is designed to predict river levels and flows at the main gauging stations on the two rivers. Reliable forecasts of up to a week in advance can be obtained based on the information about levels at the most upstream stations on the two rivers supplemented by observation at other stations
