ERW and landmine contamination in Somalia limits access to basic services and economic opportunities and represents an impediment to stability security and ultimately recovery and development. The scale and complexity of the problem is not well known as surveys have not been systematically conducted in South-Central Somalia. The continuing conflict still results in additional explosive contamination. Armed groups have used Improvised Explosive Device s (IED) as a weapon of choice in Somalia for over 10 years. Explosive hazard mitigation interventions remain essential to enable humanitarian responses and the recovery of communities in terms of improving livelihoods and access. One of the main objectives of UNMAS in Somalia is to support the Federal Government of Somalia in fulfilling its treaty obligations such as the Conventions on Anti-nel Mines and Cluster Munitions. In 2015 the Somali Explosive Management Authority was endorsed by the Council of Ministers as the national entity responsible for coordinating explosive hazard management which is a significant step towards the steady transfer of responsibilities to a national authority. SEMA developed a national explosive hazard management plan outlining requirements for explosive hazard management which includes the development of state level coordination functions which will support SEMA to address explosive hazards within recovered areas and provide employment opportunities to local communities including youth women and former combatants. This contributes to efforts to enhance security and stability in line with the Strategy of the United Nations on Mine Action the Humanitarian Response Plan and the FGS New National Development Plan. International and national Mine Action actors and operators will continuously review their respective strategies on a regular basis or in the event of significant changes to ensure that interventions remain relevant. Scope of the Problem A comprehensive survey of explosive hazard contamination in Somalia is not yet available due to insecurity and lack of access. In 2017 the vast majority of casualties from explosive incidents were caused by IED s (757 killed and 944 injured). The known ERW casualties in 2017 amount to 50 (13 killed and 37 injured) an increase from 28 (6 deaths and 22 injuries) compared to In 2017 explosive hazard management focused on Explosive Ordnance Disposal IED Disposal mine clearance and survey stockpile destructions weapons and ammunition management as well as risk education. Police capacities capable of dealing with IEDs and ERW in Mogadishu continued to be enhanced and UNMAS and partners continued to assist the police EOD teams. In line with sanction obligations under the partial lifting of the arms embargo the UN and international implementing partners continued to support the FGS in safely marking registering and destroying weapons and ammunition as part of a comprehensive framework on Weapons and Ammunition Management (WAM) for the international community to support. In the longer term the FGS explosive management policy presents an opportunity for mine action partners to help reduce the threat of explosive hazards by identifying and clearing items from community areas providing employment opportunities for men and women and build accountable state capacities to coordinate and monitor future explosive hazard management. Gains made in 2017 have increased accessibility making humanitarian and stabilization interventions more feasible. Coordination and Consultation: The national explosive hazard management (Badbaado) plan outlining requirements for explosive hazard management was launched by the FSG since In line with the Badbaado plan explosive hazard management is implemented at federal state levels under the Ministry of Internal Security and SEMA. This includes the Federal Member States Administration of Puntland Glamadug Hiraan and Middle Shabelle South West Jubaland and operations within Somaliland. Explosive hazard coordination among international partners and the UN support for IDPs and civilians impacted by explosive hazards is done 1

2 under the explosive hazard sub-cluster under the Protection Cluster. This is linked to the Humanitarian Response Plan which recognises that explosive threats impede freedom of movement in safety notably in areas affected by the armed conflict and on main supply roads. Somali Police EOD capacities are established in Baidoa Beletweyne and Mogadishu and are able to conduct explosive hazard removal. In Somaliland the Somaliland Mine Action Centre (SMAC) coordinates all mine action activities under the Office of the Vice President. Coordination meetings are held twice monthly by the SMAC as well as pillar-specific technical working groups. International implementing partners and Police EOD teams work with the SMAC to prioritise their tasks. Strategy In order to support the implementation of Badbaado Plan outlining the FGS s approach to explosive hazard management international support remains critical to enable initiatives to oversee and implement explosive hazard management operations in six areas: of abandoned explosive ordnance in Somalia which focuses on clearance of former ammunition storage areas along main supply routes Explosive Hazard Management in Puntland State Explosive Hazard Management in Galmadug State Explosive Hazard Management in Hiraan and Middle Shabelle State Explosive Hazard Management in South West State Explosive Hazard Management in Jubaland State Individual projects undertaken by implementing partners will contribute to the implementation of the plan by focusing on community based clearance and survey and building accountable federal state entities able to coordinate and monitor explosive hazard management operations. Support to development of state level coordination functions will provide SEMA with capabilities to address explosive hazards within recovered areas and provide employment opportunities for men and women within impacted communities including youth women and former combatants. partners engaging in Weapons and Ammunition Management (WAM) in support of the FGS are called to support the FGS comprehensive weapons and ammunition management programme in compliance with the sanction obligations and in line with the Somali Compact (PSG 2). All relevant partners will collaborate with the FGS as part of the Weapons and Ammunition Management Working Group and Steering Committee. In general Mine Action actors and operators will continue to raise awareness of the importance of mine action including victim assistance and the management of explosive hazards for the protection of civilians in humanitarian responses. Working with all stakeholders they will seek to mainstream and resource mine action at all levels of the planning coordination and delivery processes. As active members of the Explosive Hazard Sub-Cluster under the Protection Cluster Mine Action actors and operators will coordinate information and joint responses with all relevant partners.
