7 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A prolonged drought is severely threatening the food security, health and nutritional status of children and adults in the El Chaco region located in Bolivia s southeast. Though this is a chronic drought situation, compounded effects of the past years and the acute nature of this year s drought, put the region at risk of a major humanitarian crisis. According to two rapid assessments conducted by FAO, UNICEF, WFP and Government institutions (July/August 2004), the drought is affecting an estimated 180,000 people (out of which, 26,000 are children under five years of age) living in rural areas of the 16 municipalities of El Chaco. Seven of these municipalities are considered to be the most affected and in need of urgent assistance to avert further damage: Boyuibe, Camiri, Charagua, Cuevo, Gutierrez, Machareti and Huacaya. In these municipalities, an average of 93% of the maize crop (main food source) has been lost. Food availability is of major concern now and is expected to worsen until the next harvest in May With 85% percent of affected families living mainly on rain-fed subsistence agriculture, the drought has undermined their ability to produce enough food to meet daily requirements. The drought has also caused a situation of limited access to safe drinking water, forcing people to risk the spread of disease by using the same source of water as their livestock. By the time of the two rapid assessments, 65% of those interviewed had consumed their food stocks and 80% of the affected population did not have seeds for the next sowing season (beginning in November 2004). As a result, affected families have resorted to reducing the number of daily meals and heads of households are increasingly migrating in search of a means to mitigate the situation, ultimately exacerbating family vulnerability. Based on the rapid assessments, the UN Disaster Management Team s (DMT) Joint Flash Appeal seeks US$ 1.8 million to meet the urgent needs of the most vulnerable persons in the drought-affected areas of El Chaco for a period of seven months (1 November 2004 through to 31 May 2005). Priority 1 (seven most affected municipalities): Emergency food rations for 42,200 persons (including 13,000 children under five years) (WFP); Supplementary nutritional food rations (biscuits) for 5,000 children aged 6-24 months (UNICEF); Safe drinking water for approximately 12,000 persons (8,500 children and adolescents) this includes the seven most affected municipalities, plus Lagunillas and Cabezas, for a total of nine municipalities (UNICEF); Distribution of seeds to approximately 11,000 families (FAO). Priority 2: Safe drinking water and basic sanitation for approximately 24,000 families in nine second priority municipalities (PAHO/WHO); Health care for 180,000 persons (90,000 children and adolescents) in all 16 municipalities of El Chaco; New agricultural technologies that ensure food security for 11,000 families in the seven first priority municipalities (FAO). As an immediate first step, the DMT joint plan of action focuses its attention on the seven most severely affected municipalities with (1) family food rations, (2) nutritional food rations for children under two years of age, (3) safe drinking water and (4) distribution of seeds. As a close second step, the plan of action focuses on the totality of the 16 municipalities of El Chaco in health and new agricultural technologies. This Flash Appeal supports the government plan of action in response to the prolonged severe drought. The Government declared El Chaco a disaster area on 05 October 2004 and appealed for international assistance. The members of the DMT that are responding to the emergency through this Joint Flash Appeal are WFP, UNICEF, PAHO/WHO, FAO and UNDP. 1

9 2. CONTEXT AND HUMANITARIAN CONSEQUENCES 2.1 Context El Chaco is located in the southeast of Bolivia, approximately 1,000 km east of La Paz. It is one of the driest regions of the country, which extends across parts of three Departments (Santa Cruz, Chuquisaca and Tarija) and is comprised of 16 municipalities. The region covers about 12% of the national territory and has a population of 300,000 people, mostly located in rural areas. About 65% of the population is considered poor according to the 2001 national census. In some municipalities as much as 95% of the population lives in poverty. Most of the rural population is indigenous (Guaraní). Though the current drought situation in the region is chronic, compounded effects of the past years and the acute nature of this year s drought, put the region at risk of a humanitarian crisis. Maize and beans are the region s main staple food and source of income. Approximately 180,000 people (rural population) of the 300,000 living in the region are affected by the drought, since most of them depend on rain-fed subsistence agriculture. 55,000 people live in seven municipalities that are considered most affected and most vulnerable: Boyuibe, Camiri, Charagua, Cuevo, Gutierrez, Machareti and Huacaya. According to the results of two rapid assessments conducted by WFP, UNICEF, FAO, and the Government, the above-mentioned seven municipalities report the largest crop failure (more than 80%). These municipalities have lost an average of 93% of their crop. According to WFP, 42,200 people out of the 55,000 living in these seven municipalities are in need of food assistance. Considering that agricultural production is the source of 85% of the total food consumed by these families, the situation becomes more critical. Most of the surveyed households identified food and water as the most urgent need and concern. The Government declared the drought-affected region of El Chaco a national disaster area on 5 October 2004 and the Ministries of Civil Defense, Health and Agriculture elaborated a Plan of Action. The Plan seeks to respond with food, water, health care and distribution of seeds in the 16 municipalities of El Chaco, and requires US$ 2 million, of which the Government is providing US$ 300,000 (already under execution). 2.2 Humanitarian Consequences The July/August UN and Government joint rapid assessments confirmed that El Chaco is experiencing the worst drought in the past several years. There is an acute shortage of food and water for human and animal consumption. The severe drought and lack of food have prompted heads of families to temporarily migrate to other regions of the country in search of alternative sources of income. Migration is affecting school attendance and community activities such as the maintenance of water systems. Migrations have also resulted in children being left in the care of extended family or with older children of the same family. Malnutrition in children and adults is worsening on a daily basis. For example, according to the National Health Information System (NHIS), global malnutrition in Gutiérrez in children under five is at 43%. In Camiri, it has been confirmed, based on scholar health identification cards, that 30% of primary school children are underweight. Water that is currently available is not adequate for human consumption. Potable water is at critical levels. Potable water systems do not function in the majority of communities. Few communities are attended by trucked water cisterns for emergency water delivery, and those that receive this service receive it infrequently. Affected communities are resorting to water reservoirs (ponds) meant for livestock. Many potable water reservoirs (ponds) are dry and families are forced to walk long distances to neighbouring communities for water collection. The reduced availability of water constitutes an additional burden on women since they need additional time for water collection. 3

10 Reports issued by NHIS show that the current severe drought in El Chaco has worsened the state of malnutrition of children and adults. The drought is forcing communities to consume unsuitable water compounding health and nutrition problems. In addition, health personnel in El Chaco is barely trained and informed to deal appropriately with health issues in emergency situations such as this one. The poor epidemiological surveillance system is negatively affecting efficient and timely decision-making. The lack of funds, infrastructure and human resources of the health network impede a proper delivery of health services in the vast territory of El Chaco. 65% of families interviewed during the rapid assessments reported having exhausted their food stocks, since access to food is mainly through rain-fed self-production that failed. Of the affected population, 80% does not have seeds for the sowing season that begins this November It is expected that food security will worsen until the next harvest in May 2005, and that levels of malnutrition and risk of child morbidity and mortality (particularly those under-two) will increase. In addition, livestock, an important alternative source of food, is dying because of the lack of water, threatening the production of milk and meat. To deal with the current crisis, the Government created an ad-hoc committee composed of the Ministries of Defence, Health, Agriculture and Public Works. The purpose of the committee is to coordinate a response to the emergency with UN agencies and the donor community. The current economic situation of Bolivia limits the Government contribution to US$ 300,000 out of a total estimated need of US$ 2 million. 4

11 3. OBJECTIVES OF THE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE 3.1 Food To stabilise and prevent a further deterioration in the livelihoods of affected families through Food for Work and Food for Training activities. To ensure adequate food consumption for the most vulnerable groups (families with pregnant and nursing mothers, children under five years and women-headed households). To distribute family and child food rations to reduce malnutrition, as well as migration of heads of households. To distribute maize and bean seeds for the next sowing season beginning in November To support activities, through Food for Work and Food for Training, to improve/restore water supply facilities, agricultural production and health/ nutrition skills. 3.2 Water To improve and extend provision of safe drinking water by means of trucked water cisterns, family water containers and water filters; To reduce the spread of waterborne diseases and death of livestock; To assure water quality and sanitation. 3.3 Health To support the health network to strengthen the epidemiological surveillance system at the community level so that problematic cases are quickly identified and referred to appropriate health services; To support community training in water and sanitation through the Ministry of Health and the technical school of basic sanitation of Gutierrez; To train local health personnel in norms and procedures in nutrition of children under five years of age, breastfeeding and child feeding. 3.4 Agriculture To develop a sustainable agricultural programme for El Chaco together with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Association of Guaraní Peoples (APG); To support the Ministry of Agriculture to replicate efficient means of (1) corn and bean production, (2) construction of water reservoirs (ponds) for irrigation and animal use, (3) animal health, and (4) harvest management; To support early warning systems that track climate change. 5

12 4. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES BOLIVIA On behalf of the UN Disaster Management Team, WFP, UNICEF and FAO carried out two rapid assessments of the drought situation in El Chaco together with Government authorities. WFP, UNICEF, PAHO/WHO, FAO and UNDP are coordinating efforts in support of the government plan of action in food, water, health and food security. The DMT technical group closely coordinates the implementation and reporting of the DMT joint plan of action. Official counterparts to the DMT plan of action include the Ministries of Agriculture, Defence and Health, as well as the Prefectures of the Departments of Santa Cruz, Tarija and Chuquisaca. Implementing partners are CARITAS, Vicariato de Cuevo and World Vision. Social control mechanisms are guaranteed by the APG.

13 5. RESPONSE PLANS Based on the results of the rapid assessment, the Government has prepared a Contingency Plan to provide relief in El Chaco. According to this plan, a total of US$ 2 million are needed to assist the affected people. The Government is currently facing a severe economic crisis, which undermines its response capacity. UNDMT will support government s Contingency Plan. UNDP, through the Office of the Resident Coordinator, will coordinate resource mobilisation on behalf of the DMT in support of the joint plan of action. As chair of the DMT technical group, UNDP will facilitate the coordination of the emergency response. 5.1 Food Since 93% of the main source of food in the seven most affected municipalities has been lost, the people affected are at high risk of food insecurity. Approximately 85% of families depend on the harvest for their food supply (subsistence farming), which makes them highly vulnerable. Action to Date In order to avoid a major humanitarian crisis, the Ministry of Agriculture officially requested WFP to provide food assistance. WFP has already initiated assistance with its development resources and through an Immediate Response Emergency Operation (IR-EMOP). Some 604 MT of food are being distributed to 42,200 people (approximately 7,000 families) in the seven most affected municipalities. Daily family rations are composed of 1,800 grams of maize, 250 grams of lentils and 120 grams of fortified vegetable oil. This food is calculated to last months. UNICEF also advanced US$ 11,500 to complement WFP family rations with nutritional supplementary rations (biscuits) for children 6 to 24 months. 5,000 children in this age group will receive a daily ration of 50g nutritional biscuits for 45 days as a supplement to food they already receive. The nutritional content of these biscuits are as follows: Minimum nutritional content of the biscuits Energy (Kcal) 286 Protein (g) 8 Fat (g) 9,6 Carbohydrates (g) 42 Calcium (mg) 250 Iron (mg) 3,7 Vitamin C (mg) 15 Vitamin A (mcg ER) 120 Vitamin B1 (mg) 0.25 Vitamin B2 (mg) 0.25 Vitamin B12 (µg) 0.4 Folic acid (µg) 80 Zinc (mg) 2.5 Future activities WFP and UNICEF plan to continue responding to the needs of the most vulnerable with the same food rations until the next harvest in May 2005 (a period of seven months). The food rations would be distributed to the same seven most affected municipalities (i.e., Huacaya, Macharetí, Charagua, Cuevo, Gutiérrez, Camiri y Boyuibe). Interventions will consist of: Family food rations for 42,200 persons for seven months; Supplementary nutritional food rations (biscuits) for children 6-24 months; Training. 7

14 WFP has prepared an Emergency Operation (EMOP) requiring a total of US$ 958,617. This resource requirement is part of the present Joint Flash Appeal. Through this same Appeal, UNICEF seeks US$ 55,000 to continue providing assistance for a total of seven months. Expected Impact Fewer families will resort to selling their assets and food stocks, and fewer families will be forced to reduce the number of meals per day. School attendance will also be maintained. Migration will decrease, thereby reducing the negative impacts on school attendance, family and community cohesion, child malnutrition, and community activities. Funding Requirements Line of action US$ Food: Family rations (WFP) 958,617 Food: Supplementary nutritional food rations for children 6-24 months (UNICEF) 55,000 Total required 1,013, Water The lack of water in the 2004 period is more critical than in past years and was most evident in July of this year. The only available potable water in many communities of El Chaco is of poor quality due to the unusually severe drought. Besides its effects on subsistence farming (high loss of food and seed stocks), the drought is also severely affecting livestock, as it dies off due to water scarcity. The lack of water caused a deterioration of the quality of water in water reservoirs (ponds) that are increasingly shared with livestock. Consequently, contaminated water is causing gastro-intestinal infections, particularly in children. Moreover, animal corpses are contaminating the environment and are increasing the risk of disease. Action to Date To date, UNICEF advanced US$ 66,000 for the purchase of the following items to benefit 80 communities and 30 schools in the seven first priority municipalities of Boyuibe, Cuevo, Camiri, Lagunillas, Gutiérrez, Cabezas and Charagua: 30 x 2,000 litre water tanks for 30 schools; 1,200 x 250 litre family water containers; Fuel to transport water cisterns; Fuel for water pumps; 2,000 sachets of water purification solution; Rehabilitation of 15 water systems; Technical assistance in water and sanitation (WES engineer). PAHO/ WHO is funding two technicians for basic sanitation to assist the WES engineer funded by UNICEF, and is helping Gutierrez Hospital to set up a laboratory for water quality control. In this Joint Flash Appeal, UNICEF seeks US$ 112,000 to respond to needs of the seven first priority municipalities plus two (total of nine) with safe drinking water. PAHO/WHO seeks US$ 124,600 to respond to needs of the remaining seven-second priority municipalities of El Chaco. UNICEF and PAHO/WHO joint efforts will cover the most urgent needs in water in all 16 municipalities of El Chaco. Future activities UNICEF will complete its assistance in water to a total of nine municipalities (Boyuibe, Cuevo, Camiri, Lagunillas, Gutiérrez, Cabezas, Charagua Macharetí and Huacaya) until the need for safe drinking water diminishes with the accumulation of potable water expected from the next rainy season. The assistance will benefit a total of approximately 12,000 persons, including 8,500 children. 8

15 PAHO/WHO will provide 24,000 x 20 litre water containers for families, in addition to water control kits for the Gutierrez hospital laboratory. The assistance will benefit approximately 24,000 families. Expected Impact Most vulnerable communities in El Chaco receive safe drinking water; The incidence of waterborne diseases, in particular diarrhoea or cholera among young children, is kept at the lowest possible level; Most vulnerable families in the 16 targeted municipalities receive family water containers; Water quality control is improved. Funding Requirements Line of action US$ Water (UNICEF) 112,000 Water (PAHO/WHO) 124,600 Total required 236, Health The low harvest yields in the 16 municipalities of El Chaco, the consequent low food security, as well as the drastic reduction of food intake has prompted an increase in malnutrition and related illnesses, particularly in children under 5 years old and pregnant women. The consumption of contaminated water has caused an increase in gastro-intestinal illnesses cases, resulting in morbidity and mortality rise. These health problems are directly related to the need for food and safe drinking water. Action to Date PAHO/WHO helped the Ministry of Health to elaborate the Government s plan of action in the health sector in response to the emergency in El Chaco. In addition, PAHO/WHO is providing technical assistance to the local and regional health network to strengthen epidemiological surveillance as well as health care to the most vulnerable population. PAHO/WHO s intervention covers the totality of the 16 municipalities of El Chaco that is affected by the severe drought (Boyuibe, Camiri, Charagua, Cuevo, Gutiérrez, Macharetí, Huacaya, Lagunillas, Cabezas, Monteagudo, Yacuiba, Caraparí, Hacareta, Entre-Ríos, Villamontes and Muyupampa). In order to avoid increase of morbidity and mortality, PAHO, in coordination with the national, regional and local health systems, will promote mechanisms to guarantee water quality, fortification of the monitoring of epidemiological surveillance, vector control and the establishment of situation rooms as tools for decision-making. PAHO/WHO seeks US$ 257,000 to continue its assistance in health for the next seven months. Future activities PAHO/WHO will help improve the delivery of health services to the affected population in the 16 municipalities of El Chaco through the local and regional health network. Interventions will focus on the following: Improving nutritional status of children under five years old by (1) providing medical equipment to nutritional centres, (2) training of local health personnel in nutrition, and (3) funding transportation of seriously malnourished patients (total: US$ 180,500); Improving the delivery of health care to persons most affected by illnesses caused by the drought by (1) providing essential medicines to the local health network, (2) training local health personnel in illnesses caused by the drought, and (3) training mothers in identifying dehydration and malnutrition (total: US$ 54,500); Preventing malnutrition by (1) training mothers on food preparation, (2) providing vitamin A and micro-nutrients to children under five years old, and (3) providing iron supplements for pregnant women (total: US$ 22,000); Providing community sanitary educational information on water and sanitation. The distribution of this information will be made through the ministry of health and the regional health network, using basic educational messages already available in the technical school of basic sanitation of Gutierrez. 9

16 Expected Impact Morbidity and mortality caused by malnutrition and illnesses related to the severe drought in the 16 municipalities of El Chaco are lower. Funding Requirements Line of action US$ Health (PAHO/WHO) 257,000 Total required 257, Agriculture Food stocks from the last harvest will last at most until November From this time onwards families will not count on their own food stocks. It is foreseen that malnutrition will dramatically increase from current levels, and consequently, that morbidity and mortality levels will also rise mainly amongst children under two years of age. Action to Date FAO conducted a rapid assessment with WFP and regional authorities in the affected area to determine how much seed is needed for the next sowing season. FAO presently does not have funds for an immediate response; however, it seeks US$ 302,000 through this Joint Flash Appeal to distribute seeds and alternative technology to the seven most severely affected municipalities of El Chaco (Boyuibe, Camiri, Charagua, Cuevo, Gutierrez, Machareti and Huacaya). Future activities To respond to the emergency situation in the short term, FAO will distribute seeds in time for the upcoming sowing season (beginning in November) to approximately 11,000 families (55,000 persons) in the above-mentioned seven municipalities. FAO seeks US$ 240,000 for the purchase and distribution of the seeds. However, to ensure agricultural sustainability in El Chaco there is a need to design new farming and harvest management methods. Hence, FAO will develop an agricultural programme that includes pilot projects and early warning systems to monitor climate change. For this purpose, FAO seeks US$ 62,000 in this Joint Flash Appeal for the same beneficiaries as above. Expected Impact 11,000 most vulnerable families receive seeds in time for the next sowing season in November 2004 and thus improve their food security; 11,000 most vulnerable families have access to irrigation and water for livestock as a result of a new agricultural programme; 11,000 most vulnerable families count on a good harvest for 2005; 11,000 most vulnerable families count on improved method to store and stock their harvest and seeds. Funding Requirements Line of action US$ Agriculture: Seed distribution (FAO) 240,000 Agriculture: New agricultural technologies (FAO) 62,000 Total required 302,000 10
