Since Somalia is very fragmented, politically, economically and socially, the conditions for growing up will vary according to where you actually live in the country. Neither local nor central authorities have the capacity to take measures attending to the needs of children. The conditions under which children grow up are therefore decisively determined by the capacity of the family under the conditions in which they live. The role of the family is crucial, especially when it comes to security, schooling, health, and later on for job opportunities. Access to school and health services varies very much throughout the country, but seems to be best in Somaliland and in Mogadishu.

Between late 2010 and early 2012, southern and central Somalia experienced severe food insecurity andmalnutrition precipitated by a prolonged period of drought resulting in the poorest harvests since the 1992-1993famine. The effects of the drought were compounded by various factors including decreased humanitarianassistance and increasing food prices. Furthermore, this emergency occurred against a backdrop of heightenedinsecurity and persistent high levels of acute malnutrition, and affected populations whose resilience mechanismshad already been weakened over the past few years by a protracted crisis featuring a combination of armedconflict, natural disasters and adverse economic conditions. By July 2011, based on criteria established bythe multi-partner Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC, an analysis template used globally fordetermining relative severity of food insecurity), the United Nations declared famine in central Somalia in agropastoralareas of Middle Shebelle and among IDPs in Mogadishu the Afgoye corridor. Based on further dataand analysis, Bay, Bakol agropastoral and Lower Shebelle regions were designated as famine-affected overthe subsequent two months.
