The Impact

Dans la perspective d’améliorer l’accès aux services de base en eau potable, hygiène et assainissement (EHA), le Mali a fait de ce secteur une priorité depuis 2006. Cette étude avait pour objectif de mener une analyse critique du diagnostic de l’accès aux services de base EHA et l’impact des déplacés internes de la crise politique et sécuritaire de 2012 sur ces services dans la commune de Zan Coulibaly afin de proposer des stratégies locales pérennes. Les données ont été collectées à travers une fiche de questionnaire semi-structurée, des observations directes sur le terrain et la consultation des documents administratifs. L’enquête a révélé que les forages (40%) et les puits traditionnels (28%) étaient les principales sources d’approvisionnement en eau. La collecte de l’eau est une activité exclusivement féminine. Pour traiter l’eau de boisson à domicile, la filtration sur linge était la technique la plus utilisée (71%). Malgré un contexte pandémique à COVID-19, seulement 24 % des personnes interrogées lavaient les mains au sortir des toilettes et 22% avant de manger. Aussi, 16% des enquêtés pratiquaient toujours la défécation à l’air libre. De 2016 à 2020, on note une persistance des maladies diarrhéiques et une réapparition des maladies dues aux vers intestinaux. Par ailleurs une éradication du trachome et du choléra a été observée. Néanmoins, les résultats relatifs au site des déplacés internes de la crise, sont alarmantes. Ces données constitueraient une base pour mieux orienter les politiques et les actions futures relatives aux services EHA dans la commune de Zan Coulibaly. To improve the access to the basic water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services, Mali has made this sector a priority since 2006. This study aimed to conduct a critical analysis of the diagnosis of access to WASH basic services and the impact of internally displaced people from the political and security crisis of 2012 on these services in the rural commune of Zan Coulibaly in order to propose sustainable local strategies. The data were collected throughout a semi-structured questionnaire form, direct observations on the sites in the nine villages, and the consultation of executive documents. The survey revealed that the drilling (40%) and the traditional wells (28%) were the main sources of water supply. The water collection is an exclusively female activity. To treat drinking water at home, the filtration was the most commonly used technique (71%). Despite a pandemic context of COVID-19, only 24% of respondents washed their hands after leaving the toilet and 22% before eating. Also, 16% of respondents have always defecated in the free air. From 2016 to 2020, we note the persistence of diarrheal diseases and the reappearance of intestinal worm diseases. Otherwise, the trachoma and the cholera were eradicated. Nevertheless, the results relating to the internally displaced people from the crisis are alarming. These data could provide a basis for better guiding the future policies and actions in the provision of WASH services in the rural commune of Zan Coulibaly.

The Impact

Background: changing in lifestyle like displacing place could cause depression which is a common mental disorder that change general health that affect dental caries incidence and severity. The aims of this study were to assess the relation of depression status on prevalence and severity of dental caries among internally displaced people. Material and Method: The sample include 121 internally displaced people aged from 13-17 years. Method for depression measuring is by using Children Depression Inventory (CDI2) questionnaire. Dental caries is measured by using caries experience (DMFs) and caries severity D1-4. Result: the mean value for decayed and missing surfaces were higher in high depression grade as compering with low and medium depression grade, while filled surfaces were with higher mean value in low grade than high grade of depression and absent in medium grade. While when measuring caries severity (D 1-4), the highest mean value for D1, D3 were in medium depressed group while D2, D4 were with highest value in high depressed group. Conclusion: depression among internally displaced people had an effect on caries severity.

The Impact

Situated in a complex region of the world, Puntland State in Somalia is dealing with a range of threats and instabilities such as droughts, floods, locusts, the movement of internally displaced people (IDPs), and armed actors. COVID-19 has added yet another strain on its tremendously fragile infrastructure. The impact of the pandemic has been far reaching, affecting livelihoods and hampering unpaid and underpaid care work and responsibilities. The multitude of crises and rates of inflation have left the majority of families food insecure and without income, halted education and health services, and exacerbated existing vulnerabilities and the incidence of violence. This gender analysis was conducted and funded by the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO), in partnership with Oxfam in Somalia and KAALO, to better help local government bodies, agencies, NGOs, and INGOs grasp the differentiated impact of the crises on women, men, boys, and girls, and host and IDP communities, during this time of intense loss and instability. The analysis provides an overview of the experiences of the affected communities, and gives recommendations on how to address immediate concerns and plan future programming.

Background Populations affected by humanitarian crises experience high burdens of acute respiratory infections (ARI), potentially driven by risk factors for severe disease such as poor nutrition and underlying conditions, and risk factors that may increase transmission such as overcrowding and the possibility of high social mixing. However, little is known about social mixing patterns in these populations. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional social contact survey among internally displaced people (IDP) living in Digaale, a permanent IDP camp in Somaliland. We included questions on household demographics, shelter quality, crowding, travel frequency, health status, and recent diagnosis of pneumonia, and assessed anthropometric status in children. We calculated age-standardised social contact matrices to assess population mixing, and conducted regression analysis on risk factors for recent self-reported pneumonia. Results We found crowded households with high proportions of recent self-reported pneumonia (46% in children). 20% of children younger than five are stunted, and crude death rates are high in all age groups. ARI risk factors are common, but we did not find any significant associations with self-reported pneumonia. Participants reported around 10 direct contacts per day. Social contact patterns are assortative by age, and physical contact rates are very high (78%). Conclusions ARI risk factors are very common in this population, while the large degree of contacts that involve physical touch could further increase transmission. Such IDP settings potentially present a perfect storm of risk factors for ARIs and their transmission, and innovative approaches to address such risks are urgently needed.

Ongoing armed conflict, insecurity, lack of state protection, and recurring humanitarian crises exposed Somali civilians to serious abuse. There are an estimated 2.6 million internally displaced people (IDPs), many living unassisted and vulnerable to abuse. Somalia's history of conflict reveals an intriguing paradox--namely, many of the factors that drive armed conflict have also played a role in managing, ending, or preventing war.
