Top Story This Week
The
United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF)
allocated $10.4 million to seven agencies
working in Cote d’Ivoire to help meet the urgent humanitarian needs
of people affected by the post-election violence that has displaced
hundreds
of thousands of people.
The West African country plunged into turmoil late last year after then
incumbent president Laurent Gbagbo lost a UN-certified and
internationally
recognized election to the opposition figure Alassane Ouattara in
November,
but refused to step down as his supporters started a campaign of
violent
intimidation of their political rivals.
While humanitarian response has thus far focused on displacements of
population in the west, the crisis is having far-reaching humanitarian
consequences throughout the entire country, according to the UN Office
for
the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), which manages CERF.
The funds from the CERF will be used to help provide health care,
non-food
items, food, water and sanitation, and educational support.
At a summit in Nigeria, Ecowas, the 15-member West African regional
body,
called for (http://bbc.in/gRrzDc) more UN action in Cote
d'Ivoire. They also called for tighter sanctions on Ggagbo and his
allies.
Some African leaders have also questioned why the world's powers have
used
military force in Libya but not the Ivory Coast.
ISOA Industry Insight:
The situation in Cote d’Ivoire continues to deteriorate. The African
Union
has held firm against the coalition government solution that has been
used
in Zimbabwe and Kenya – where the bitter rivals are both included in a
‘unity’ government. As a result, both Gbagbo and Ouattara now have
everything to lose making negotiations difficult and fruitless. With
escalating conflict there is likely to be an even larger international
peacekeeping operation in the future, as well as growing humanitarian
needs.
There may be an increased demand for construction and support services
as
utilized in similar situations by the AU and UN in the past. ISOA’s
diverse
membership is comprised of a wide range of companies and organizations
providing these much needed services in high risk environments, while
also
committed to a higher level of professionalism and ethical standards as
outlined in ISOA’s Code of Conduct.
