Physical Capital
Transportation networks, particularly the road infrastructure,
in most parts of the Northwest are fairly good, except in the
Golis/Guban/Gebi and Nugal Valley livelihood zones where
roads are mostly rough and impassable during rainy seasons.
Most boreholes in the pastoral livelihoods, which serve large
populations during critical periods are currently not functional
and require immediate rehabilitation. Similarly, most Berkads
in Hawd, upper Nugal, and Sool Plateau livelihood zones only
hold limited water during the rainy seasons due to aging and
lack of routine maintenance because of (high cost)..
Social Capital
This season, the extent and availability of the traditional social
support base for the poor is average in most of the pastoral
livelihoods, due to increased income from livestock sales.
There is also still a reliance on social support like Kaalmo
and Amaah (food on loan, food gifts and cash gifts) in Guban,
Sool plateau and Nugal valley due to asset depletion from
previous droughts.
Human Capital
In most rural livelihoods in the Northwest regions access to
social services is limited due to inadequate infrastructure
and lack of professional staff. In this season school
attendance has increased due to normal pastoral migration.
The integrated nutrition situation analysis shows some
deteriorating but also some stable trends in the livelihoods
of Northwest compared to the Deyr 2011/12.
The results of the nutrition surveys conducted in July 2012
among the West Golis population indicate a GAM rate of
21.7 percent and a SAM rate of 5.5 percent indicating Very
Critical situation and a significant deterioration (p0.05). In
