UNICEF in North Caucasus

During the first half of 2006, the overall situation in the North Caucasus has not changed significantly. The improved security environment in the Chechen Republic would seem to make an increased UN presence in the republic possible, which would greatly expand access opportunities. On the other hand, there continue to be major concerns about violence and insecurity in the region: fighting, human rights abuses, and abductions still occur, particularly in Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia. Signs of physical reconstruction in Chechnya, and particularly in Grozny, have become increasingly visible but rebuilding will be a long, complex process, which will require a significant increase in the governmental resources available. Meanwhile, humanitarian needs remain considerable: much of the population of Chechnya continues to depend on humanitarian aid for survival and a significant reduction in needs appears to be several years away.
To date almost 2/3 of UNICEF's 2006 revised financial requirements for the North Caucasus have been met. Some $2,330,000 are still required, however, to ensure that some of the projects outlined in the Inter-Agency Transitional Workplan (such as the physical rehabilitation of schools) do not remain on hold, due to the shortage of funds.

Slight improvements in the security environment and living conditions have been observed in Chechnya in the second half of 2005 and early 2006. However, general instability continues there and has even increased in neighboring republics. Humanitarian needs, stemming from two military campaigns conducted over the past decade and severe economic underdevelopment, remain considerable: with an unemployment rate of at least 80%, much of the population of Chechnya continues to depend on humanitarian aid for survival and a significant reduction in needs appears to be at least several years away. Access to basic social services - particularly in the water, education and health sectors - remains problematic for most civilians in Chechnya, especially women and children. UNICEF seeks US$ 7,470,000 to address the needs of over 300,000 children and mothers in the region.
