•
The food security situation remains poor however food distribution was conducted freely in
most of the country, with a 65% target being achieved. Government is monitoring planting,
inputs and other agricultural concerns.
•
The Education sector has received a major financial boost which will allow it to provide better
materials and teaching facilities to schools, to complement initiatives already aimed at assisting
Orphaned and Vulnerable Children.
•
The IOM is greatly assisting the Government in providing humanitarian assistance for returning
refugees by establishing Reception and Support Centres and offering training to strengthen
response mechanisms.
Non-compliance
•
The deterioration in health, water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure is largely responsible
for continuing outbreaks of disease, and until these are fully addressed by the IG with adequate
resourcing and rehabilitiation, people will continue to die of preventable diseases.
•
Agricultural output is reduced by low and late levels of input, sparse irrigation, and continued
land invasions. An estimated 1.3 million people will not be able to feed themselves next year
and will require food assistance.
•
The Prisons remained unreformed and inadequately resourced leading to conditions in holding
cells that can only be considered degrading and inhumane, with malnutrition and starvation
of prisoners, a serious threat.
CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM
Compliance
•
The cooperation in the Constitutional Parliamentary Committee (COPAC)
•
The establishment and training of 70 outreach teams took place, each comprising of 11
members drawn from all political parties, civil society and the media.

These were redrafted in line with the recommendations by civil society and other stakeholders,
resulting in somewhat clearer and more concise talking points.
•
The Constitutional Outreach phase was launched in mid-June. Teams were deployed across
the country to conduct meetings with the population to elicit their views on the constitution.
At time of reporting, over 1,212 meetings had been conducted.
