Synopsis (short abstract) Somalia in general is an excellent example of a complex emergency and is specifically because of disuputed territories and problematic relationships between humanitarian agencies and local authorities and organizations. The regions of Sool and Sanaag provide a tragic and real example of the failure of the humanitarian response both in the long and short term in Somalia. This paper offers insights into the constraints of policy and response to short- and long-term food security in Somalia through a critical analysis and case study of the Sanaag Region.

    The food security sector in Somalia is perhaps more coordinated, intergrated and developmental in its approach than in any other complex emergency. This is largely due to the dominance of one actor, the European Commission, with European Development Funds operating within an established coordination structure. The Commission funds the major food security information system, emergency food relief and a variety of ‘developmental’ food security projects, and is the major actor in terms of policy se tting and coordination. Save the Children UK (SC UK) has been active in food security information, coordination and implementation for many years in Somalia. This paper will explore, through SC’s work, the following themes: the funding and operating context in Somalia; the links between information and response; differences in developmental dialogue; the importance of institutional capacity; and strategies to scale up.
