· This Emergency Appeal was initially launched on 1 July 2011 for CHF 3,758,917 for 8 months to assist 173,000 beneficiaries in South Kordofan, Blue Nile and Abyei states following the eruption of conflict on 5 June 2011 between SPLM-N and Sudan Government armed forces in South Kordofan.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Over 170 people have died and 225,000 displaced as a result of flash flooding

• Food Security: Aid agencies urged to adopt ‘no regrets response’ to build on regional food security gains

• Renewed attempts made to address cross border and incountry insecurity in eastern Africa, namely in Somalia, DRC and Kenya.

• Regional Migration: An estimated 9.15 million people are currently displaced in the region: 2,012,531 are refugees and 7,141,442 are IDPs

L’objectif général de la mission était d’évaluer la situation des différents groupes (réfugiés, retournées et la population hôtes), leurs besoins (alimentaires et non alimentaires) et de formuler des suggestions et des recommandations relatives au type d’assistance immédiate (option des réponses et stratégies mise en oeuvre) à apporter à ces populations en particulier. Cette évaluation a permis ainsi de disposer d’informations précises sous les groupes les plus vulnérables, leurs besoins alimentaire et non alimentaire et la période et la durée de l’assistance.

Suite au lancement en mars 2013 des plates-formes Open Data dans 30 pays africains, la Banque africaine de développement (BAD) vient de lancer des plates-formes additionnelles Open Data pour les 10 pays africains suivants : Burkina Faso, Burundi, République centrafricaine, Tchad, Gabon, Mali, Madagascar, Niger, Somalie, Soudan. Cela porte à quarante (40) le nombre de pays africains déjà connectés au réseau Open Data.
