EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
During the last two weeks of October 2011, heavy rains associated with Tropical Depression 12E
caused flooding and landslides throughout Nicaragua. National emergency was declared by the
president Daniel Ortega on October 17. Due to the magnitude of the damage caused by the flooding,
the Government requested the activation of the international assistance mechanisms managed by the
United Nations.
The latest assessment (October 28) organized by the Government concluded that 87 of 153
municipalities of the country suffered damages, while 148,530 people were affected. The most
affected departments of the country are Estelí, Chinandega, Madriz, Nueva Segovia, Jinotega,
Matagalpa and Managua. The affected population suffered damages to their property, agricultural
crops and other livelihoods. In the meantime, vital infrastructure and the environment were also
severely damaged.
Data from needs assessments conducted by the
government with UN agencies indicate that, 50 days
after Tropical Depression 12E struck Nicaragua; more
than 100,000 people remain in need of humanitarian
and early recovery assistance.
According to official data provided by the Government
through the National System for Attention, Mitigation
and Prevention of Disasters, the value of the
damages and losses amount to more than US$445
1
million , which equals 6.8% of the GDP in 2010. The
most affected sectors are infrastructure, housing and
agricultural production.
Since the beginning of the disaster, a nationwide
coordinated effort focused on the provision of
emergency aid (food and non-food items, safe water
and health assistance) to the affected population,
especially to people in shelters.

remaining in shelters and for some affected
communities, whom will require continued assistance
in the health and shelter sectors. In the meantime, activities related to protection of women, children
and adolescents will be mainstreamed within the response of all sectors.
The revised Flash Appeal seeks requirements for $14,840,854 until April 2012 to continue to address
the immediate and early recovery needs of the 100,000 most vulnerable people still in need of
emergency assistance. With $4.2 million in funding for the Appeal so far, this still leaves $10.6 million
to be raised. The United Nations System in Nicaragua will continue to provide both financial and
technical assistance to ensure strengthened capacity for the continuum from emergency to recovery,
rehabilitation and development.

CONTEXT AND HUMANITARIAN CONSEQUENCES
2.1
CONTEXT AND RESPONSE TO DATE
Sustained heavy rainfall in the Pacific, central and northern part of Nicaragua associated with Tropical
Depression 12E in October caused flooding and landslides, damage to people, property, vital
infrastructure, agricultural crops and environment, resulting in the immediate need of evacuating the
affected populations.
On 14 October, the National System for Attention, Mitigation and Prevention of Disasters (SINAPRED)
declared a yellow alert for the departments of Estelí, Chinandega, Madriz, Nueva Segovia, Jinotega,
and Matagalpa. In addition, they activated all department and municipal level emergency operations
centres and emergency response plans in these areas. In the subsequent days, other departments
began to report damages from the flooding and landslides.
Faced with the humanitarian situation, President Daniel Ortega issued a constitutional decree of state
of “National Calamity and Disaster” (Decree 53-2011) for the entire country. Upon this decree, the
Government of Nicaragua formally requested the United Nations System (UNS) in Nicaragua to
activate the international mechanism for aid and assistance.
The emergency response has been led by the Government of Nicaragua, establishing priorities for
intervention and needs´ requirements. The UNS, at the Government’s request, has activated its
mechanisms for mobilizing resources for the emergency response under a cluster approach.
In order to elaborate more consistent interventions, the sector and cluster leaders have held
coordination meetings and conducted joint field assessments with international agencies, the
Government and organizations belonging to the Humanitarian Network established in the country.
2.1.1 Food Security
The significant damage to crops has curtailed access to food. An initial emergency food security
assessment was conducted during the last half of October by World Food Programme (WFP), Food
and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of
Health (MoH) and SINAPRED, covering nine departments of the affected area. The survey
highlighted a shortage of food in the affected municipalities due to the isolated conditions of many
communities. In addition, local stores and markets have been unable to replenish stocks. This
situation coupled with crop losses has led to local rising food prices.
Most of the affected communities suffer from chronic vulnerability prior the floods. Hence the capacity
of the people to cope with the negative consequences of the floods is limited. The effect of El Niño or
La Niña on the up-coming planting season is uncertain. There are no specific alternatives for crop and
seeds conservation. Furthermore, the bean exportation market at regional level represents a threat
for the availability of seeds for the coming season.
No specific intervention has been carried-out by the humanitarian and state actors to assist the
“Apante” sowing period. Due to the rains, few farmers have had the capacity to produce during that
period.
The humanitarian response to address food insecurity caused by Tropical Depression 12E has been
focused on the delivery of food assistance to affected families and the rehabilitation of infrastructure
through food-for-work activities.
2.1.2 WASH
A joint assessment at municipal level was carried out after the initial launch of the Flash Appeal, in
order to attain updated information about the WASH situation. According to the figures obtained, a
higher number of water and sanitation facilities have been damaged compared with the initial data
provided by the Government; in the most affected departments (Chinandega, Leon, Estelí and
Managua), some 1,100 wells were damaged, flooded or contaminated. 10,800 latrines were damaged
5
NICARAGUA
or flooded. In the low lands (especially in the most affected municipalities of Leon, Chinandega and
Managua Departments) floods remained for several weeks and caused severe health problems
related with water sources contamination, lack of water and sanitation facilities.
The humanitarian response to date in the WASH sector was limited to delivery of safe water and
disinfection means (chlorine) as well as hygiene promotion activities, in shelters (during the first two
weeks) and in some of the most affected communities, by local MoH. Other activities such as
cleaning, disinfection and rehabilitation of water sources (wells); rehabilitation of sanitation facilities
(latrines and others); and delivery of water storage means and hygiene promotion, have been
planned. In support of local government leadership, implementation of these activities has started
through the WASH Cluster. Coordination meeting have been carried out on a regular basis, with the
participation of SINAPRED and other governmental institutions as well as local and international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) involved in the response.
2.1.3 Health
The strategy to support the MoH consists of direct counseling with the following components: visits to
the local health clinics - SILAIS (Sistemas Locales de Atención Integral en Salud) which planned
actions to perform in each of the affected municipalities, determine the resources that are employed
for the provision of primary health care; carry out technical field visits to the municipalities for example:
supply and installation of radio stations in four municipalities of SILAIS Estelí. Support to maintain
health services will continue in shelters and communities affected by heavy rains and floods, to ensure
access to health services and safe water and to contribute to strengthening local capacities in the
monitoring of early warning and rapid response to outbreaks.
According to the registry of epidemiological surveillance of the MoH, during the month of October,
there was an increase in the number of cases of acute diarrheic disease, and acute respiratory
infection (ARI) in the four most affected SILAIS. Furthermore, increases in the number of pneumonia
in the SILAIS of León and Managua have been reported. Additionally, an increase in suspected cases
of classic dengue in the SILAIS of Estelí, Chinandega and León has been registered in the health
clinics. While in Chinandega there is a slight increase in leptospirosis. Fortunately, in the SILAIS of
León, Managua, and Estelí, there is a declining trend,
Support to the health sector has been provided through the provision of resources and direct guidance
to health officials. The programmed goals are being achieved. The most important lesson learned is
that the Health sector must work in close collaboration with the communities in the protection of its
inhabitants and safeguarding health.
2.1.4 Shelter
According to official figures, the emergency resulted in 16 deaths. More than 10,146 people (46%
adults and 54% children) were evacuated in 102 emergency shelters (ESs). However some internally
displaced people (IDPs) sought shelter in schools, communal centres and churches, and an unknown
number were are in private homes, organized as “solidarity houses”. The IDPs were concentrated in
the departments of Estelí, Managua, Leon, Chinandega, Madriz, Matagalpa and Nueva Segovia.
As of now, only 12 shelters remain active (ten in Managua and two in the municipality of San
Franscisco Libre). A total of 900 families (approximately 4,500 people) are still in shelters, 60% of
whom are from the last year’s emergency and 40% are from the current emergency. Some IDPs and
families who are able to return to their homes will be assisted.
The Government has distributed non-food items (NFIs), food, comfort kits and water with the support
of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and bilateral donors. International agencies have
supported with NFIs, hygiene/kitchen/comfort kits.
6
NICARAGUA
2.1.5 Early Recovery (ER)
The total of 10,812 houses were affected by the Tropical Depression 12E, representing 12,275
families. 8,924 homes were flooded, 318 are high-risk sites, 335 were completely destroyed and
1,235 partially destroyed. As part of the support to affected families, the Government announced the
immediate disbursement of 359 million Córdobas ($15.7 million) for the repair, rehabilitation and
construction of houses damaged by the rains.
Furthermore, the Government has implemented the following activities:


Rehabilitation of bridges, secondary roads and highways, in order to ensure national
connectivity.
Assessments of damage and losses on the infrastructure of roads, bridges and housing, in
order to establish accurately the requirements of rehabilitation.
To date, Habitat for Humanity has delivered 8,500 kits for emergency cleaning and minor flood repairs.
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) obtained approval for $206,938 from the Central
Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for housing rehabilitation and reconstruction and generation of
temporary employment. HEMCO contributed $200,000 for the construction of supportive homes.
Agence d'Aide à la Coopération Technique et au Développement (Agency for Technical Cooperation
and Development/ACTED) presented food for work for the repair of roads in Achuapa.
ER actions will concentrate on: income generation for the affected populations, rehabilitation and
housing construction, training in safe self-construction methods, basic equipment such as tools and
belongings to facilitate reconstruction and economic recovery activities for the prevention of child
labour.

The challenge is to achieve and maintain a good coordination at cluster level, with all
planned response activities. To do this, is important to maintain the coordination with SINAPRED,
supporting it in its leading role.

Funding Analysis
The initial Flash Appeal launched on October 28had original requirements of $14,289,736. Following
the launch, the Emergency Relief Coordinator approved $2,030,597 in rapid response grants from the
CERF, as well as $30,000 as an emergency cash grant (ECG) for relief items and logistical support.
The revised Flash Appeal seeks revised requirements of $14,840,854 to continue to support the most
vulnerable people.
To date, 28% of the Flash Appeal’s revised requirements have been covered. However, there are
significant imbalances between clusters, and also between donors. This is hampering key
humanitarian assistance operations being implemented by the humanitarian network and the
Government of Nicaragua. As of this revision, CERF grants represented 48% of total funding for the
Appeal. Additionally, the Government of Nicaragua has received donations of cash and in kind.

Grand total:
The Government, the UN and the humanitarian network are working to ensure that all urgent
humanitarian actions, ER and medium-term development programmes are synchronized to augment
Nicaragua’s resilience to future shocks. Regrettably, with 72% of the Flash Appeal’s revised
requirements unfunded and with significant imbalances in the funding provided, this strategy is under
threat, and as a consequence, the risk of continued suffering and loss of human and economic capital
still exists.
Consequences of under-funding





Food security: some 11,000 families will be left with no food assistance until the next harvest,
as most of them have little or no food reserves after the massive flooding destroyed their crops,
reserves and homes. This could jeopardize the lives of the most vulnerable groups or
deteriorate their nutritional status, increasing the risk of becoming acutely or chronically
undernourished. Failure to restart agriculture activities in affected areas will have a negative
impact on the ongoing food insecurity situation.
WASH: failure to secure funding will result in a lack of safe water availability, sanitation facilities
improvement and hygiene promotion in some of the most affected communities, which could
cause an increase of waterborne diseases (diarrhoea and ARIs) which affect mostly children U5.
Early recovery: projects proposed are short of funding. This situation puts at risk the speedy
return to normality of affected families, since this lack of funding hinders the filling of the gap
between humanitarian assistance and reconstruction activities
Health: limited funding puts the most vulnerable and unattended population (children, pregnant
women, the elderly, and people living with disability) at high risk.
Shelter: poor shelter management will increase level of gender-based violence (GBV). A safe
and secure shelter environment will facilitate well-being, and facilitate the return to home when
conditions are right.

NEEDS ANALYSIS
The main needs more than 50 days after the rains started are primarily related to food security, ER
and water and sanitation measures, with associated needs in the health and shelter.
According to the emergency food security assessment (EFSA), some 55,000 people that lost crops
and livelihoods will suffer from food scarcity during the next four to ten months, until the next harvest
will take place. Nevertheless, most households and infrastructure heavily damaged by the most
recent disasters could require up to several years to recover, thus increasing the vulnerability of the
population to new shocks.
As families begin to relocate and look for work, it is critical that their livelihoods are saved, restored
and protected. Therefore, the challenge is to re-establish agricultural activities and to search for
economic resources to fund proposals to respond with income generation opportunities during the
period of highest need from October onwards to ensure a speedy recovery and help them return to
their normal activities.
The Early Recovery Cluster plays an integral and consequential role in this revised Flash Appeal. ER
actions and activities will primarily focus on: income generation for the affected populations,
improvement, rehabilitation and construction of housing, training in safe construction techniques and
self-construction methods, basic equipment such as tools and belongings to facilitate reconstruction
and economic recovery activities. Children are returning to schools and families are returning to their
homes even though school facilities and housing infrastructure remain damaged or are in poor
conditions due to their use as shelters during the peak of the emergency. In addition, access to
populations in need is still hampered by damaged or destroyed rural roads, bridges and even primary
roads. The reverse is also true: vulnerable populations are unable to seek assistance or restore
livelihoods as a result of damaged infrastructure, the repair of which is therefore a valuable opportunity
to generate temporary employment, which will help boost the local economy.
People in affected communities still have limited access to WASH practices, thus maintaining the risk
of illnesses and outbreaks amongst the most vulnerable groups. According to the latest data from
joint assessments, a higher number of water and sanitation facilities have been damaged compared
with the initial data provided by the Government. In the low lands floods remained for several weeks
and this caused severe health problems related with water source contamination, lack of water and
sanitation facilities, worsened by the poor hygiene habits within the population. It is therefore urgent
for UN agencies and the humanitarian network to provide in the most affected communities: cleaning
and disinfection of wells in order to ensure access to safe water for human consumption; rehabilitation
and construction of latrines; promotion of adequate hygiene practices (key messages on safe water,
hand washing, excreta disposal, etc.).
Shelters still in use need to be strengthened to meet basic needs. Particular attention must be given
to strengthening the shelters’ management abilities, including their capacity to prevent GBV and to
assure conditions that guarantee protection and psycho-social rehabilitation in a timely manner
The Health Cluster has identified needs with regard to primary health care attention to the affected
people, control of outbreaks, and recovery of infrastructure in health care facilities. These priorities
are to ensure nutrition adequate stocks, while the ER of the local agriculture activities is carried out.

SCENARIOS
Although the rainy season is over, the level of Lake Managua is still at a critical level. This generates
a series of challenges related to controlling potential sources of vectors caused by stagnant water.
Diarrhoeal diseases, leptospirosis and dengue are being monitored by the MoH, through medical
brigades and medical attention in the SILAIS.
Currently, most water supply systems in rural areas continue to be treated through chlorination, while
cleaning of wells has begun in some communities. However, in the most affected communities,
further action is required, in order to ensure safe water availability on a regular basis, to provide
sanitation facilities, and to spread hygiene promotion messages.
As for the loss of crops, small scale farmers hope to get the seeds to harvest in the next season and
succeed in restoring subsistence food chain. Food insecurity in rural areas for the upcoming months
will require food assistance interventions targeting primarily the most vulnerable groups, as well as the
small farmers with the delivery of certified seeds and agricultural inputs to ensure productive
reactivation. The bad condition of roads aggravates the delivery of aid, as well as the marketing of the
agricultural production.
Most likely scenario

Rain patterns will discontinue as the country is approaching the end of the rainy season

Diminished opportunities for income-generating activities for food-insecure families who have no
food reserves left.
Core elements

Slow rehabilitation /
reconstruction of damaged houses
and provision of alternative shelter.

Livelihoods of the most
vulnerable people have been
affected, which could worsen their
food security.

Losses suffered by
households on food stocks, property
and income and the possibility of
rising food insecurity in the coming
months could lead to more
malnutrition problems among children
U5.

An important part of the safe
water sources (wells) and sanitation
facilities are likely to remain in bad
condition.

Stagnant water bodies left
after the flood are likely to persist.
Effects on humanitarian needs and aid operations

Increase burden on already overspent government
budget.

Increase in food insecurity.

Population at risk of disease outbreaks of vector
transmission, such as dengue, malaria and at risk for
outbreaks of Leptospirosis, a disease transmitted through
water contaminated by urine and feces of livestock and
infected rodents and other water-borne diseases.

Disruption in the ER process and critical services.

Most vulnerable IDPs households exposed to
longer- than-necessary displacement and not able to return
in safety and dignity to places of origin.

Loss of livestock and seeds could impair restarting
agricultural production in the 2011/12 season and this may
affect food security for the next agriculture season.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES FOR HUMANITARIAN ACTION
The Flash Appeal outlined strategic objectives agreed upon by the government, UN system and the
humanitarian network, from the onset of the emergency. The strategic objectives of this revised Flash
Appeal have only changed slightly. It should be noted that the objectives for food aid and agricultural
livelihoods have been united to one objective related to food security. Furthermore, one objective has
been added with regard to strengthening of coordination capacities (objective 6).

CRITERIA FOR SELECTION AND PRIORITIZATION OF PROJECTS
A.
SELECTION
Based on the strategic objectives for humanitarian action agreed on by the humanitarian network,
comprising both the sector leaders, NGOs and the Government, the projects selected for this revised
appeal meet one or more of the following criteria related to relevance, impact and scope:
1. Projects relevant to save lives.
2. Projects that provide immediate alleviation of suffering of affected populations or ease the
transition from response to recovery phase, promoting the use of resources without duplicating
efforts among humanitarian actors.
3. Projects with an adequate scope, with relation to the timeline in which the proposed activities are
implemented and geographic coverage.
B.
PRIORITIZATION
The response for the remaining five months of the Flash appeal until April 2012 focuses primarily on a
humanitarian aid dimension with the continuation of the relief efforts, but additionally and of equal
importance is the response in key ER activities. These activities are critical as they set the basis to
prevent unnecessary prolongation of humanitarian assistance, as well as laying out foundations for the
recovery of livelihoods and coping mechanisms of the affected people.
The projects presented in the revised Flash Appeal for Nicaragua, focus on the immediate provision of
vital services, such as access to safe water, livelihoods recovery, repair of damaged housing, food aid
and health, in the most affected areas in support of the Government's response. The initial response
focused on helping people and communities isolated by floods.
In order for the prioritization of projects be carried out objectively and framed to address sector gaps, a
humanitarian context analysis and an analysis of gaps related to humanitarian aid was performed.
Since the elaboration of the initial Flash Appeal, one month ago, the humanitarian context has
changed largely due to the effective response by the government, the discontinuation of the rain and
the return of many families to their homes.
It should be emphasized that although many families have returned to their homes, they still lack the
necessary conditions for decent living. Added to this, the damage to crops in the rural areas has had
a significant negative impact on food security and livelihoods. Another problem considered for
prioritization has been sanitation and water quality in the affected areas. Field assessments carried
out highlight the need to provide assistance in the WASH sector to ensure access to safe water.
Priority needs and sectors have been identified in consultation within the sectors and through a review
of available assessment data and the humanitarian response to date. Based on an updated
assessment of the situation, the humanitarian response for the next five months will be focused
accordingly to the following categorization:
A. Urgent needs: Life-saving interventions and urgent ER actions in the most affected areas
related to food insecurity exacerbated by the loss of crops or loss of livelihoods, access to
clean water and adequate sanitation.
B. Critical needs: ER and protection related actions that promote a safe and dignified life.
Projects related to the rehabilitation of housing, adequate health services, protection and
capacity-building activities in shelters.

Needs analysis
EFSA results show that a total of 23 municipalities in nine departments of the country are affected; the
largest number of affected population is concentrated in the departments of Leon, Chinandega, Estelí
and Managua. The evaluation team found that 94 communities were isolated due to damage to
infrastructure and total isolated population is estimated at more than 50,000 people. By the end of
October, a total of 4,445 people were living in emergency evacuation shelters. Further, damage to
crops was significant; 20% of beans and 12% of maize crops were lost and yields will be reduced by
30%. Loss of beans ascended 60% and between 22 to 35% in Managua, León and Chinandega and
losses in some municipalities was even higher. The municipality of Achuapa in León suffered 100%
loss of its rice production.
Hunger gaps in the first half of 2012 will increase in the most affected areas due to the loss of crops,
poor access to the communities and few available coping strategies. Vegetable gardening and
preparation for the next sowing period must be prioritized, in addition to access to alternative sources
of income and food. Access to irrigation facilities, seeds and inputs is necessary to increase the
availability of vegetables in the first half of the coming year. Improved availability to quality beans,
corn seeds and root crops is required in order to prepare the next sowing period. Post-harvest
conservation methods and facilities must be improved in order to mitigate risks of additional crops
losses. Immediate access to income or food may be enhanced by food distribution or food and cash
for work activities. Small cattle production should be promoted as a source of food and income.
Information on the nutritional status of children U5 and other vulnerable groups, directly and indirectly
affected, must be improved through nutritional standardized monitoring and assessment of relief and
transitions (SMART) surveys and/or nutritional assessments, in coordination with Health Ministry,
UNICEF and WHO.
Proposed strategy
In order to improve food consumption and support the re-habilitation of livelihoods the humanitarian
actors in the food security sector will coordinate with local municipal authorities, SINAPRED and
COMUPRED. NGOs, WFP and FAO will work in a complimentary and coordinated manner in order to
prevent a duplication of interventions.
19
NICARAGUA
Interventions will focus on:
Food assistance: general food distribution (GFD) activities will be implemented in areas directly
affected by floods and shelters for the first three months. To the extent possible, GFD will transition
into short term food-for-work/assets focusing on recovery activities, including clean-up activities and
restoration of livelihoods of the affected communities. Activities will help rehabilitate community
infrastructure and agricultural productive capacities. Further, children under-two will receive an
additional ration of fortified foods through supplementary feeding along with communication on Infant
and Young Child Feeding especially on breastfeeding and complementary feeding
ER: Activities will promote and support the re-habilitation and establishment of livelihoods in
communities that have suffered from high crop losses. Technical assistance and inputs will contribute
to recover food production, enhance seeds and food conservation capacities and re-store community
infrastructure. Preparation for the next harvest season will be prioritized.

Needs analysis
With the participation of SINAPRED and other governmental institutions and NGOs/INGOs, a joint
assessment was organized and carried out after the launch of the initial Flash Appeal. Updated
information about WASH affectations through several field visits and meetings with local authorities at
municipal level was collected. According to the figures obtained, a higher number of water and
sanitation facilities have been damaged compared with the initial data provided by the government; in
the most affected departments (Chinandega, Leon, Estelí and Managua) around 1,100 wells were
damaged, flooded or contaminated and around 10,800 latrines were damaged and/or flooded.
Due to the contamination of water sources and the lack of proper hygiene practices among the
population, a significant increase in the prevalence of diarrhoea and respiratory diseases has resulted.
Shelters have been deactivated in most communities and people went back to their homes.
The most relevant needs are, at community level; restore water services, treatment, storage and
distribution facilities; rehabilitation of sanitation facilities and solid waste disposals in public places;
implementing education and awareness raising activities about basic hygiene habits.
Proposed strategy
In order to ensure continues improvement of health condition, the proposed strategy consists of:

Sectoral coordination allows humanitarian WASH partners and stakeholders to ensure needs of
affected population on WASH are properly covered and remaining gaps are addressed.

Cleaning, disinfection and rehabilitation of water sources (wells) and basic rehabilitation of water
systems.

Provide means of purification, storage and handling of safe water, including instructions for proper
usage.

Rehabilitation/construction of adequate sanitation means for safe excreta disposal, including
hand- washing facilities, through culturally appropriate and gender sensitive interventions.

Promote actions and good practices for hygiene, and ensure population has access to necessary
means to practice them, with particular emphasis on soap.

Provision of WASH facilities and hygiene education in schools and other temporary learning
facilities.

Support solid waste disposals, at least in public places.

Needs analysis
The health sector has identified needs with regard to primary health attention to the affected people
and control of outbreaks; efforts to ensure safe water for drinking and sanitation and hygiene, recovery
of infrastructure in health care facilities and drinking water systems.
These priorities are
complementary to the need of ensuring adequate nutrition while the ER of agricultural activities are
carried out, Furthermore, comprehensive health attention should be guaranteed through the
mobilization of medical brigades to the affected areas to carry out promotion and prevention activities
in community health.
Populations affected by the floods are located in areas of high poverty, which increases the risk of
outbreak of disease. To ensure comprehensive care to the populations affected, response actions
should be cross-sector and inter-institutional, represented by the sectors of health, education,
environment, agriculture and the organized community.
The specific needs identified are:

Ensure the quality of water for human consumption as a consequence of the damage in many mini
aqueducts in rural communities of the affected SILAIS.

The containment of outbreaks of dengue since the conditions are conducive to the proliferation of
the vector is a challenge.

The mobilization of health personnel to provide health services in the communities.
Proposed strategy
Strategy to bring health services to the most vulnerable are through visits of the integrated health
brigades in communities, which provides medical care and training to villagers. The rapid response
brigades would be mobilized in case of outbreaks of disease. They will furthermore train villagers in
the use of chlorine to ensure safe water for human consumption.

Needs analysis
With the flooding, due to the rains of the Tropical Depression 12E, affected people have been
relocated to ESs as strengthening the shelters’ management abilities, including their capacity to
prevent GBV and protect children.
Based on current and past experiences in active shelters, the need to assure that conditions that
guarantee children’s and adolescents protection and psycho-social rehabilitation in a timely manner in
order to avoid situations that threatens their rights or have adverse impact in their mental and physical
health in the present and future have been identified. The risks of psycho-social stress, SGBV and
GBV, physical violence and abuse and separation of their families are latent.
GBV is a social problem that is aggravated during emergencies. The protection of women and
children during emergencies requires a holistic response against violence, including, the determination
of the zones and factors that facilitate GBV, the establishment of participative management systems
that guarantee the protection and increased access of victims of GBV to medical and psychological
attention.
Need to train community leaders, officers of MIFAN and Teachers in management of shelter in
emergencies and MSEE,
Proposed strategy
The number of active shelters has declined to 12 shelters with approximately 900 families. The cluster
will support families who are in shelters and families living in solidarity families in some departments.
Shelter sector has made few changes. The UNFPA project has not being changed. Bomberos
Unidos Sin Fronteras (Firemen without Borders/BUSF) cut cost and made changes to activities related
to training. IOM expanded its activities with child protection and included UNICEF as a counterpart.
WV has only made changes in its objectives that are related to protection of children. In conclusion,
the main objective of the sector is: Strengthening the shelters’ management abilities, including their
capacity to prevent GBV and protection of children.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The national response is led by the SINAPRED in close collaborates with its stakeholders. The
system articulates that during emergencies the State Sectors and Institutions, with the support of the
Operation Department in charge of the Emergency Operation Center are active. At sub-national level,
there are COMUPRED Commissions in all departments, and most of the municipalities.
From the Government side, the response is organized in Sector working Commissions:
Sector Work Commission
Supplies Commission
Health Commission
Sub Commission of water and sanitation
Special Operations Commission
Security Commission
Infrastructure Commission
Education and Information Commission
Natural Phenomena Commission
Environment Commission
Consumer Protection Commission

Clusters are designed to support the National System, particularly in coordinating the international
humanitarian partners’ response. Upon declaration of an emergency, most humanitarian partners
gather as a Humanitarian Network, as a first step in coordinating their response in line with the
strategic national orientation. It is the main forum for strategic and policy discussions amongst
international actors on how to support and complement the Government’s efforts to respond to the
emergency. An interagency technical group coordinated by the UN Emergency Technical Team is
also gathering sector information. An inter-agency assessment is running with participation of national
authorities and WFP and FAO.
HCT ensures that cross-cutting issues are fully incorporated into its strategic response planning and
activities. All national technical sector commissions have met and discussed priorities with
humanitarian partners in order to elaborate funding proposal and operational response.

Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP)
The CAP is a tool for aid organizations to jointly plan, coordinate, implement and monitor their
response to disasters and emergencies, and to appeal for funds together instead of competitively.
It is the forum for developing a strategic approach to humanitarian action, focusing on close
cooperation between host governments, donors, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the
International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, International Organization for Migration (IOM),
and United Nations agencies. As such, it presents a snapshot of the situation and response plans,
and is an inclusive and coordinated programme cycle of:






Strategic planning leading to a common humanitarian action plan (CHAP).
Resource mobilization leading to a Consolidated Appeal or a Flash Appeal.
Coordinated programme implementation.
Joint monitoring and evaluation.
Revision, if necessary.
Reporting on results.
The CHAP is the core of the CAP – a strategic plan for humanitarian response in a given country or
region, including the following elements:






A common analysis of the context in which humanitarian action takes place.
An assessment of needs.
Best, worst, and most likely scenarios.
A clear statement of longer-term objectives and goals.
Prioritised response plans, including a detailed mapping of projects to cover all needs.
A framework for monitoring the strategy and revising it if necessary.
The CHAP is the core of a Consolidated Appeal or, when crises break out or natural disasters
strike, a Flash Appeal. Under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC), and in
consultation with host Governments and donors, the CHAP is developed at the field level by the
HCT. This team includes Inter-Agency Standing C
ommittee (IASC) members and standing invitees (UN agencies, the International Organization for
Migration, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and NGOs that belong to
International Council of Voluntary Agencies, Interaction, or Steering Committee for Humanitarian
Response, but non-IASC members, such as national NGOs, can also be included.
The HC is responsible for the annual preparation of the consolidated appeal document. The
document is launched globally near the end of each year to enhance advocacy and resource
mobilization. An update, known as the Mid-Year Review, is presented to donors the following July.
Donors generally fund appealing agencies directly in response to project proposals listed in appeals.
The Financial Tracking Service (FTS), managed by the UN Office for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), is a database of appeal funding needs and worldwide donor
contributions, and can be found on www.reliefweb.int/fts.
In sum, the CAP is how aid agencies join forces to provide people in need the best available
protection and assistance, on time.
