I. General Overview

The country is currently facing a food security crunch as a result of the recent acute shortage of
the country’s staple food, maize and the subsequent increase in the maize prices. According to a
recent report published by International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), higher food
prices can be very devastating to the world’s poorest populations for whom food accounts for up to
80% of daily expenses. The increase in food prices is expected to push about 100 million people
into deeper poverty, nearly 30 million of them in Africa. In the first quarter of 2008, wheat and
maize prices have drastically increased by 130% and 30% respectively in comparison to 2007. As
a net importer of food, Kenya has not been spared. The last few months have seen a sharp
increase of up to 40% in the price of maize flour (staple food). As a result, the Government is
developing remedial strategies that will ease some of the burden, especially to low income
households.

A draft law has been published which proposes

the mechanism for a local tribunal. The
establishment of a tribunal to try leaders who
organized or funded the post-election violence
was one of the recommendations made by the
Waki Commission. Chambers proposed include
the Appeal, Trial, Defense and Prosecution
Chambers. An Institutional Reforms workshop
organized by civil society criticized the proposed
defense chamber, saying that it overlooked the
fact that Kenya did have a working and functional
government and that the country is not in a state
of anarchy. Various stakeholders are analyzing
the proposed structure, mandate and character
and will submit their recommendations to the
Government.
II. Humanitarian Situation
Food Security

A severe maize shortage led to a sharp increase in maize flour prices in the past few months. The
maize shortage has also contributed to food insecurity in the country. Various assessments have
been conducted in the recent past, with a focus on rural populations. Given the current situation,
the Kenya Food Security Steering Group (KFSSG) is organizing a comprehensive assessment that
will inform food security practitioners of the security and nutrition conditions and priorities for
response in urban areas.

The Government has announced the following measures that will be undertaken to curb the
current crisis:
• Maize flour price will reduce from Ksh.120 to Ksh.72 for middle class citizens and Ksh.52
for low class citizens.
• The National Cereals and Produce Board has been ordered to release at least 300,000
bags to the millers for processing with immediate effect.
• The Government has increased the Cereal Board of Kenya (CBK) buying price to Ksh.1950
from Ksh.1750 per bag to encourage farmers to sell their maize
• With the anticipation of a good harvest, importation has been put on hold until further
notice. At least 1.2 million bags of maize imported from South Africa have arrived at the
port of Mombasa. It is assumed that once transported to the warehouse, the maize will then
be availed to the millers.

A lot has to be done for the problem of food insecurity to be addressed in totality including
continued investment in Agriculture. The Government has also been urged to review some policies
that have been blamed for poor production in the country. With appropriate investments, policies
and development programmes in place, poor rural people have great potential to increase food
production and are likely to benefit from higher prices, improve their lives and contribute to solving
food insecurity.

Recent heavy rains that peaked in November in other parts of the country have enhanced
prospects for food availability and improved environmental conditions. These should in turn
reverse the decline in pastoral food security. According to the Kenya Food Security update for
November, the rains have accelerated widespread planting of the short rains maize crop and a
good harvest is anticipated, as long as the temporal and spatial distribution remains favourable
and their intensity is moderated through the end of December.
Current food security conditions
Livestock diseases such as Peste des
Petits Ruminant (PPR) remain endemic,
while malnutrition rates remain of concern.
Acute child malnutrition rates remain
persistently above WHO’s emergency
threshold of 15 per cent in north, north
western and north eastern parts of the
country.

Urban Assessment

The Data and Information Sub-Committee of KFSSG (DISK) has just completed the development
of a checklist template that will be used for urban assessment expected to start in the week of 8
December. The main objective of the assessment is to obtain initial understanding of the
characteristics of food insecurity indicators in the urban informal settlements (slum areas). This
study is prompted by the impact of the ongoing high food prices, post election crisis among other
cross-cutting sectoral factors that require analysis. The assessment is intended as a first step of an
in-depth quantitative urban baseline study planned for early next year.

Floods

Floods have subsided in most parts of the country. However, affected populations in North Eastern
and Coast Provinces still require humanitarian assistance. In addition, flooding around the Lake
region, in the pastoral districts of Turkana, Mandera, Garissa, Tana River, in localized areas of the
central highlands, and in southeastern lowlands, has resulted in the loss of life and livelihoods and
displacement.

In Mandera, heavy rains that peaked in November and resulted in heavy flooding caused extensive
damage as well as displacement. In Mandera central, 43 irrigation pumps were destroyed. In
Mandera East, 70 irrigation pumps were damaged and 23 have been lost. In addition, Ksh. 1.5
million worth of farm tools have been damaged and 495 acres of crop destroyed. In addition, 167
meters of suction pipe and 217m of lined canals have been damaged/destroyed while 3km of
embankments along the canals were damaged.

Immediate requirements in Mandera include relief food; non-food items (seeds); health outreach
and water purification. In the long term, improved water management is required including
irrigation systems, river banks stabilisation, dykes to control floods, dams to capture floods water,
rehabilitation and construction of flood gates, 300 spare parts of pumps and assorted farm tools.

Mandera conflict

The security situation in Mandera has improved slightly especially around Mandera town. A
resurgence of conflict on 16th October 2008 between the Murule and Garre clans in Mandera
resulted in 38 deaths and several injuries. In addition twelve rape cases were reported, 920
families were displaced and schools were closed. The flash floods in October triggered the conflict
between the Garre and Murulle clans who have a long-standing and deep seated hostility between
them.

Other drivers of conflict in Mandera have been attributed to development work that was not conflict
sensitive, the recent flash floods that displaced the two Murulle and Garre clans into each other’s
territories and the demarcation of district and constituency boundaries that zoned population and
limited their movements. Some of the structural causes of the conflict include unresolved
grievances between clans, competition for scarce resources and political rivalry.

Kenyan military were deployed to quell the violence in Mandera but little has been achieved.
Human rights organisations accused the military of gross human rights abuses and the operation
created mistrust between the state security and the community. A second intervention includes
the Nairobi peace process that involved Members of Parliament from North Eastern province. The
process led to a peace agreement being signed on 9 October, 2008. Religious and clan elders
continue to engage with civil society and the District Peace Committees to support traditional
peace initiatives in the region, including cross-border efforts to build trust and facilitate
reconciliation of affected communities.

The Government has also intensified its security operation along the Somalia border initially to
rescue 2 Italian catholic nuns abducted in El wak (Mandera) in the week ending 14 November.
Most local residents have fled Elwak town to other centers within greater Mandera or across into

3
neighbouring Wajir District in fear of the military operation. Currently, at least 244 households
displaced are camping in Fincharo, 660 in Shimbir Fatuma and 350 in Takaba. In addition, 75
households have crossed into Wajir while 236 are in Kotulo (on the border of Wajir and Mandera
districts). Some of the displaced families have settled on the Ethiopian side of Suftu and on the
outskirts of Wajir. A comprehensive assessment to determine the needs of the population is yet to
be undertaken.

Refugees

As the security situation in Somalia remains precarious, more refugees are crossing over into
Kenya. 9,000 new Somali refugees were registered in October alone and the trend is expected to
continue to the end of 2008 and possibly into 2009. Of concern as well is that the three existing
camps are holding almost three times their capacity. As of 17 November, the population in
Dadaab stood at 227,000 excluding some 6,000 who were awaiting formal registration. In
response to the increased number of refugee arrivals in the camps, a new site has been identified
to accommodate the new arrivals. The site is located approximately 5 km from Hagadera camp
and approximately 11 km from Alinjuguru. A technical team from Garissa visited the proposed new
site to carry out an assessment. The assessment report will be presented to the District
Development Committee for deliberations and approval following which UNHCR will then carry out
water availability and an environmental assessment.

UNHCR has requested WFP to consider providing a one month general food distribution to all new
arrivals who are awaiting final registration.

As of 26 November, the total population at Kakuma camp is 50,416 refugees. At least 497 new
arrivals have been registered in November alone. Voluntary repatriation to south Sudan resumed
on 18 November with at least 112 refugees departing from Kakuma camp to Eastern Equatoria. So
far this year, 9.658 refugees have returned.

In addition, the UNHCR in Nairobi has witnessed an increase in the registration of asylum seekers
from the Democratic Republic of Congo due to the insecurity in north Kivu as well as tension in
south Kivu. An estimated 34,891 refugees are in Nairobi.

Security
North eastern

The general security situation in Mandera remains calm. However, there is tension along the
Kenya Somalia border. Some of the residents who fled to neighbouring towns are slowly trickling
back. Provincial and District authorities
have made an appeal to over 1000
residents who fled to Wajir and
surrounding towns to return. The
general security situation in Wajir
District is calm. However, tension
exists, between IDPs who fled Mandera
and the host community.

North western

A livestock raid in the Lorengippi area

(200 km from the main town of Lodwar)
of north-western district of Turkana
central has resulted in the deaths of at
least 13 people with hundreds more
persons displaced. According to the
Turkana Central District Commissioner,
about 300 raiders from Pokot North

4
attacked the area on 1 December. The Kenya Red Cross confirms that about 200 people have
now been displaced out of their traditional shelters in Lorengippi. In addition, an estimated 2,000
head of livestock were taken away during the raid. Property and food stocks were also lost during
the attacks. The population that is already being affected by drought depends on government food
rations for their sustenance. The Kenya Red Cross has indicated that there is now an urgent need
for food and non-food items that include temporary shelter for the affected populations.

The KRCS reports that security forces have subdued clan clashes along the border of Tharaka and
Tigania in Meru district. The 10,000 people who had fled the area have since returned and the
KRCS is distributing non-food items.

North Rift
The general situation in the north rift region was reported calm with no security incidents reported
from transit sites and/or return areas.
South Rift

The situation in South Rift region remains stable with no security incidents from transit sites and/or
return areas during the reporting period. The District Commissioners’ offices mandated to take
over the payment of the resettlement package from the Ministry of Special Programmes, continue
to face operational challenges. IDPs and returnees, have for instance, protested over delays in
processing payment of the resettlement and shelter package and numerous complaints have been
made of names missing from the beneficiary list in return areas.

Overall, there are reports of tensions and threats in return areas which underscore the importance
of continuing and expanding peace and reconciliation activities/meetings among returnees and
their neighbours.

Population Movements and Displacement Trends

As of 4 December, the Ministry of State for Special Programmes (MoSSP) reports that 5,021 IDPs
remain in four camps that include a camp in Mt. Elgon. According to the KRCS 2,505 IDPs remain
in the Eldoret Showground, Burnt Forest and Timboroa camps, with the majority 1,900 in Eldoret.

Source, MoSSP, 4 Dec

According to KRCS data based on food assistance provided through the EMOP, there are 103,518
IDP returnees in 131 transit sites.

In addition, the Ministry reports that there 8 self help groups consisting of a total of 5,307
households who have collectively purchased land and have relocated.

II. Humanitarian Response (See Annex I for cluster response matrices)

Floods response

Kenya Red Cross has been monitoring the flood situation countrywide. A multi-sectoral team from
the Kenya Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross/Crescent will be dispatched
late in the week ending 5 December to Tana River, Wajir, Garissa and Mandera, among other
areas, to undertake a detailed assessment of sectoral needs following the floods and come up with
guidelines for future interventions.

Food Assistance

The Government has provided 1,057.5MT of relief food under the ongoing floods interventions in
11 districts. Kenya Red Cross has been appointed to co-ordinate the distribution of food to the
affected people. Food has been delivered to Mandera District targeting 120,000 people for three
months. Distribution of food aid to other districts is in the pipeline. Relief food is expected at the
district headquarters any moment.

WFP through the KRCS will continue to provide food to IDPs and returnees in PEV affected areas
through March 2009 with a gradual reduction in beneficiary Location Beneficiaries
numbers. The reduction began in the November cycle with the South Rift 85,129
phase out of households identified to have sufficient coping North Rift 70,563
Total 155,692
mechanisms. Final rations to IDPs in the Eldoret Showground camp
were distributed in the November cycle. The November distribution reached 210,000 beneficiaries.
This number is expected to be reduced to just over 150,000 beneficiaries in January, with a
gradual phase-out of food assistance in these areas in the first months of 2009. The second group
to be phased-out in December are IDPs in peri-urban settlements and main camps relying on
alternative livelihoods. Food distributions to support populations in transit sites and farms in
identified districts will continue until the Emergency Operation comes to an end in March 2009.

Verification exercises are ongoing to curb double registration of the fluid IDP population. WFP and
the government are looking to address the targeting challenges that have disrupted food aid to the
population of IDPs from Nakuru Showground camp who collectively relocated to Mawingo farm.

Early Recovery and Food Security

CARE has resumed activities in Mandera after temporary suspension due to insecurity. With
funding from USAID and ECHO, the programme enhances the capacity of the community and local
government to implement emergency preparedness plans, mitigate drought through the
management of natural resources, and document lessons learned for improvement of policy. The
programme also supports the development of livestock livelihoods that are more resilient to
drought.

UNDP and Ministry of Youth and Sports have been facilitating youth exchange programmes in
Nairobi. The programme is engaging youths from Kibera and Msambweni through discussion and
sporting events to celebrate peace.

USAID/DAI is funding a project in partnership with the Nakuru DC’s Office to rehabilitate urban
structures housing businesses that were damaged in the PEV. The project is also supporting the
establishment of District Peace Committees. It is anticipated that the DPC will be operational from
January 2009.

UNDP and OCHA Kenya are collaborating to undertake research on the Mt. Elgon and Mandera
conflicts. A two- day training for researchers took place from the 26- 28 November 2008.
7
The aim of the training was to equip participants with the knowledge of undertaking assessments
in conflict areas through the use of a wide range of tools used to capture social, economic,
governance and current modes of responses. Participants familiarized themselves with various
frameworks for conflict analysis, the Early Warning and Early Response Handbook and existing
Strategies for Peace that are applicable to the Kenyan situation.

It is envisaged that the field work will be completed by the end of December 2008 which should be
soon followed by an evaluation of the findings by key stakeholders. The core work will be done by
a group of selected consultants.

CCCM

Eldoret – 100 IDPs from ASK showground returned to Mai Mahiu during the reporting period with
one truck provided by government to transport IDPs belongings for the returnees. A further 50
households plan to leave from the showground to Yamumbi area in Uasin ngishu district. The
group needs shelter support (tents) for use in their return/relocation area. Currently only 40 IDPs
destined for Mai Mahiu are reported as remaining at Showground camp. A total population of 1,963
was recorded the by the Kenya Red Cross as ASK showground as at 24 November.

Nakuru – On 25 November, UNHCR conducted a one-day training workshop on camp

management/rehabilitation and returnee monitoring. Participants included senior government
officials, Kenya Red Cross and humanitarian actors. Meanwhile at Naivasha Stadium camp, 280
families who has earlier declined the Ksh. 10,000 government financial assistance, met with the
District Commissioner to accept the money. The group has since purchased land at Kikopey, Gilgil
division, Naivasha district where they plan to settle.

Protection

A series of activities to observe 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence are being
held in Nairobi and throughout the Rift Valley. Events will address sexual and gender based
violence, sexual exploitation and abuse, child protection, and other protection issues and will
conclude on Human Rights Day 10 December. In Nakuru, the launch was held on 25 November
and marked with a procession and speech by the Chairperson of the National Commission on
Gender and Development and other UN and NGO representatives. In the North Rift, the launch of
the 16 days of activism with the theme, “Human rights for women, Human rights for all”, was
marked with processions in Eldoret and Kitale.

GBV

Focus group discussions (FGDs) on GBV issues will be undertaken in 16 return and transit areas
within Uasin Ngishu district within the 16 days period (1 to 10 December).

On 17 November, UNHCR collaborated with the Danish Refugee Council to facilitate an orientation
session for humanitarian workers on reporting cases of GBV. Participants were provided with a
copy of the GBV incident reporting form and trained how to report GBV cases while respecting
survivors’ rights to confidentiality and privacy.

The Mully Children Family, a community-based organization which had been supporting orphans
and exam candidates in the Eldoret Showground camp with food and school fees, have ended
their activities with the onset of the winter school recess.
WASH

The Budalangi town water supply is now operational after a repair of the pump motor. The
borehole for the Mukobola health center has also been repaired and the water supply resumed;

8
however, the pump needs to be upgraded to cope with the increased water needs as the center
houses significant populations displaced by recurrent flooding.

Lack of transportation has prevented the Nakuru District Public Health Officer from continuing with
water quality testing in return areas. Insufficient chlorine supply means that the office is incapable
of carring out treatment even if contamination is confirmed. Currently returnees are being provided
with aquatabs and PUR sachets, but supplies are dwindling. Similarly, in Uasin Gishu district
officials are unable to carry out water quality testing and cleaning of shallow wells because they
lack fuel for transportation. Moreover in Molo district, the District Water Office has stopped water
tankering to the 44 transit sites. The Nakuru DWO is presently tinkering water to about 5,000
households in the Pipeline collective relocation site at an unsustainable cost of KSh 1 million per
month. More durable solutions, including household water filters, rain water harvesting, and spring
catchments, to meet the water needs of returned and relocated populations are urgently needed.

Rehabilitation of contaminated wells in the Rift Valley with CERF funding is ongoing.

Shelter and Non Food Items

Shelter and NFI needs in return areas/transit sites and host communities remain a priority concern.

UNHCR undertook monitoring missions to Mullot transit site and Twendet return area, both in
Narok district. Some of the returnees are land owners while the majority is renting land for farming.
The main concern identified for the group is shelter. Most of the returnees claim that they have not
received their resettlement grants. So far only 67 household families have received Ksh. 10,000
while only 3 household families are on the list for the Ksh. 25,000 payment. Returnees in Twendet
reported that approximately 74 household families have returned to their farms since May. Shelter
remains a need for the returnees. Returnees have reported that about 10 household families were
not on the Ksh.25, 000 payment list.

IOM has constructed 694 out of 700 shelters. The shelters have been constructed in Molo, Uasin
Gishu and Lugari districts in a total of 12 areas of return (transit sites). Although the CERF project
implementation period ended on 30 November, IOM has requested for a no cost extension into the
month of December in order to monitor the “finishing” of the adobe walls by community members
and the actual uptake of houses.

Education

The cluster is currently planning for and conducting assessments in PEV and flood affected areas
to monitor the situation and prepare for the resumption of classes in January. Four Ministry of
Education teams will conduct assessments of the Rift Valley, Western, Nyanza, Centeral/Eastern
Provinces to monitor the progress on construction of 124 schools prior to the second allotment of
funds and assess new requests and gaps, and evaluate the completed schools in Molo.

Health
Kenya Red Cross has set up three medical mobile teams in Wajir and Mandera with 21 health
workers. Medical outreaches in Mandera – El Wak and Takaba, have served 7,952 people in the
past seven weeks. At least 54 patients were referred to Mandera District Hospital.

In the three Mandera districts there was a significant increase in reported cases of acute watery
diarrhea, with 1,046 cases and 12 deaths reported between 28 October and 17 November. A
technical team from the MoH, Provincial Health Office and WHO are assessing the situation.

World AIDS Day was observed 1 December. Launching the government’s, “Total War on AIDS”
the Minister of State for Special Programmes stated, "We intend to drive the HIV/AIDS prevalence
from 7.8 percent to two percent." Currently it is estimated that two-thirds of Kenyans have never
been tested, consequently 1 million infected Kenyans are unaware of their status. Testing is
particularly low in the 50-64 age group and there is significant disparity between testing in urban

9
and rural populations, 50% and 30% having been tested respectively. A recent WHO report
demonstrated that if voluntary testing could reach near 100% levels and antiretroviral treatment for
those who test positive significantly increased, then within the next ten years a 95% decrease in
HIV/AIDS cases could be possible.

District Disaster Response planning workshop

OCHA Kenya supported training of 42 members of the District Disaster Management Committees
of 6 select low capacity, high risk districts from both Nyanza and Western Provinces. The training
took place from 1-5 December, 2008. Each district had sent 7 participants drawn from different
sectors and departments (Government, NGO, Kenya Red Cross and Municipal Authorities). The
six districts in Nyanza province include, Nyando (mainly prone to floods & epidemics), Siaya
(mainly prone to floods & epidemics) and Kisumu West (mainly prone to floods & epidemics, fires
and urban disorders). Districts from western province include, Bunyala (Budalangi - mainly prone
to floods), Samia (mainly prone to epidemics and floods) and Mt. Elgon (mainly prone to conflicts,
and landslides and IDPs issues)

During the training, the participants acquired knowledge and skills on the substantive areas of
early warning and disaster response, dealing with complex emergencies, disaster risk
management, principles of disaster response planning and the planning process, the Spehere
Standards, Coordination and Information Managemnet in disaster response, Disaster Risk and
Vulnerability Assessment and drafting the district disaster response plans. The training focused
more on building capacity for response at the district level as part of strengthening disaster
preparedness for effective response as per the fifth priority area of the Hyogo Framework for
Action on DRR. The knowledge and skills acquired during the course is to help the trainees to hold
consultative forums with other district stakeholders to draft respective district disaster response
plans.

The disconnect between the institutional and structural systems in disaster risk management was
seen as the main challenge in addressing disaster issues in the districts. There will be follow up
missions to the districts to assess progress and support the drafting of the disaster response plans
as well as assist in the institutionalizing of the District Disaster Committees in an effort to
strengthen capacities for effective response at local level.

Humanitarian Funding

On 24 November, humanitarian partners in Kenya launched the 2009 Emergency Humanitarian

Response Plan (EHRP)- to donors the media, members of the humanitarian community and civil
society partners. The appeal requests USD390 million to meet the most urgent needs of targeted
populations: post election violence (PEV) affected and other displaced communities, food insecure
populations and refugees. Of the total request, USD172.7 million has been requested for food aid
and USD 127.7 million for multi sector assistance to refugees. The remaining, USD 90 million has
been requested for interventions in early recovery and food security, education, health, nutrition,
protection, shelter and water and sanitation as well as for support to coordination.

In relation to funding for humanitarian interventions in 2008, as of 1 December, the Financial

Tracking System (FTS) had recorded contributions and commitments to Kenya of USD 260.7
million USD 146.4 million was received through the 2008 EHRP. 74% of the total funding has been
allocated to PEV related response. The following charts provide an agency and sectoral
