Somalia flow forecasting model

(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

SACB project matrix; July 2002

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 document”it 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 SACB’s web page (www.sacb.info) where all confirmed changes are logged. CD Rom versions of the Matrix are available from the SACB Secretariat.

Mandera district water sources assessment

(Extract from the Executive Summary) Appropriate water resource development is an important component in ensuring sustainable livelihoods in Mandera District. In order to support planning activities within the water sector, Oxfam Quebec commissioned Rural Focus Ltd. to undertake a water source assessment and mapping assignment in Mandera District. The main objective of the assignment was to establish a GIS based database of water sources and related socio-economic data for Mandera District. A subsequent phase of the exercise was to use the GIS to develop a strategic plan for rehabilitation and management of existing water sources. A team consisting of members of the Pastoral Resource Team (PRT) of Mandera District and Oxfam Quebec assisted m the identification of the types of sources and information required. Data capture forms were developed and two teams covered Mandera District visiting in total 769 water sources. Relevant data for each source, covering the geo-referenced position, capacity, operational status, management system, demand etc. were obtained and entered into a Geographical Information System - (GIS)
