1. Chapter 3: The E-Marketing PlanLearning Objectives (PPT 3-2)Overvie w of the E-Marketing Planning ProcessThe e-marketing planning process entails three steps: marketing plan creation, planimplementation, and plan evaluation/corrective action.Creating an E-Marketing PlanThe e-marketing plan is a blueprint for e-marketing strategy formulation andimplementation. It serves as a road map to guide the direction of the firm, allocateresources, and make tough decisions at critical junctures. The Napkin Plan The idea that many dot.com entrepreneurs were known to simply jot their ideas on a napkin over lunch or cocktails and then run off to find financing. This is also known as the just-do-it, activity-based, bottom-up plan. The Venture Capital E-Marketing Plan Dot.com's can be financed privately through angel investors or family/friends, or through venture capitalists. Venture capitalists invest in good ideas with competent people running the business and generally look for an exit plan to get their money and profits out of the venture within a few years.A Seven-Step E-Marketing PlanSeven key planning elements include a situation analysis, e-marketing strategic planning,the plan objectives, e-marketing strategy, an implementation plan, the budget, and a planfor evaluating success.Step 1 – Situation AnalysisThe situation analysis is also known as the SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities,and threats) analysis which examines the internal strengths and weaknesses and theexternal opportunities and threats. Three key environmental factors that affect e-marketing include legal, technological, and market-related factors.Step 2 – E-Marketing Strategic PlanningStrategic planning involves determining the fit between the organization's objectives,skills, and resources and its changing market opportunities, also known as tier 1strategies. This includes segmentation, targeting, differentiation, and positioning. 29
Step 3 – ObjectivesObjectives are to be task specific (what is to be accomplished), measurable (how much),time specific (by when) and realistically attainable.Step 4 – E-Marketing StrategiesE-marketing strategies involve the 4 P's and relationship management to achieve planobjectives regarding the offer (product), value (pricing), distribution (place), andcommunication (promotion). These are called tier 2 strategies. The Offer: Product Strategies A firm can sell merchandise, services, or advertising on its Web site. They can create new brands for the online market or sell selected current or enhanced products in that channel. The Value: Pricing Strategies A firm must decide on how online product prices will compare with offline equivalents and usually use either dynamic pricing r online bidding. Distribution Strategies Many firms use the Internet to create efficiencies among supply chain members through direct marketing or agent e-business models. Marketing Communication Strategies Firms use Web pages and e-mail to communicate with their target markets and business partners. Firms build brand images, create awareness of new products, and position products using the Web and e-mail Relationship Management Strategies E-marketing communication strategies also help build relationships with a firm's partners, supply chain members, or customers.Step 5 – Imple mentation PlanThis is the step in which the marketer selects the marketing mix – the 4 P's, relationshipmanagement tactics, and other tactics to achieve the plan objectives and then devisesdetailed plans for implementation. Importance is placed on information gathering tactics,web site log analysis, and business intelligence.Step 6 – BudgetMarketers need to determine the returns from an investment: cost/benefit analysis, returnon investment (ROI), internal rate of return (IRR), and return on marketing investment(ROMI). Revenue Forecast The firm uses an established sales forecasting method for estimating the site revenues in the short, intermediate, and long term. 30
Intangible Benefits – intangible benefits include brand equity, brand awareness and similar objectives that may be difficult to measure. Cost Savings – using the Internet creates efficiencies in the supply chain which typically increases profits by eliminating intermediaries. E-Marketing Costs – Costs for e-marketing are wide reaching and may include costs for: employees, hardware, software, programming, and more. Costs for the Web site may include: technology costs, site design, salaries, marketing communications, and others.Step 7 – Evaluation PlanOnce the e-marketing plan is implemented, its success depends on continuous evaluationwhich means marketers must have a tracking system in place before the electronic doorsopen.Chapter Summary The e-marketing plan is a guiding, dynamic document for e-marketing strategyformulation and implementation. The purpose is to help the firm achieve its desiredresults as measured by performance metrics according to the specifications of the e-business model and e-business strategy. Although some entrepreneurs use a napkin planto informally sketch out their ideas, a venture capital e-marketing plan will help showthat the e-business idea is solid and the entrepreneur has an idea of how to run it. Creating an e-marketing plan requires seven steps. The first is to conduct asituation analysis by reviewing environmental and SWOT analyses, existing marketingplans and company/brand information, and e-business objectives, strategies, andperformance metrics. In the second step, e-marketers perform strategic planning, whichincludes a marketing opportunity analysis to develop segmentation, targeting,differentiation, and positioning strategies (tier 1 strategies). Next, e-marketers formulateobjectives, usually setting multiple objectives; they may use an objective-strategy matrixto guide implementation. In the fourth step, e-marketers design e-marketing strategies forthe 4 P's and relationship management (tier 2 strategies). In the fifth step, e-marketers develop an implementation plan with a suitable 4P's marketing mix, select appropriate relationship management tactics, designinformation-gathering tactics, and select other tactics to achieve their objectives. Theymust also devise detailed implementation plans during this step in the process. In thenext step, e-marketers prepare a revenue forecast to estimate the expected returns fromthe plan's investment and detail the e-marketing costs to come up with a calculation thatmanagement can use to determine whether the effort is worthwhile. In the final step ofthe plan, e-marketers use tracking systems to measure results and evaluate the plan'ssuccess on a continuous basis. 31
Chapter OutlineOpening Vignette: The Playboy Story (PPT 3-3)Have the class read the opening vignette on the Playboy story. Discuss how CEOChristie Hefner not only used a strategic e-marketing plan to revitalize Playboy, but didso by converging several mediums into the complete Playboy experience. She did so bydevising an e-marketing plan that would leverage their current brand and the 4.5 millionreaders. Playboy.com was the first U.S. Website for a nationally circulated magazine.Discuss how the revenue sources selected from their e-marketing plan were critical totheir success and continued growth.I. Overvie w of the E-Marketing Planning Process (PPT 3-4) A. Questions to be asked 1. How can information technologies assist marketers in building revenues and market share? 2. How can information technologies assist in lowering costs? 3. How can firms identify a sustainable competitive advantage with the Internet during constant change? B. This marketing process entails three steps: 1. Marketing plan creation 2. Plan implementation 3. Plan evaluation and corrective actionChapter 3 will examine the first of these steps: the e-marketing planII. Creating an E-Marketing planThe e-marketing plan is a blueprint for e-marketing strategy formulation andimplementation. The Gartner Group correctly predicted that up to 75% of all e-businessprojects prior to 2002 would fail due to fundamental flaws in planning. If brick-and-mortar companies realize the importance that planning play in the success of theirbusiness, why would so many dot.com companies overlook this? A. The Napkin Plan (PPT 3-5) 1. Dot.com entrepreneurs wrote down ideas on napkins over lunch or cocktails. 2. Larger corporations have versions of this called just-do-it, activity- based, bottom-up plans. 3. This is considered a starting point, but not sufficient for long-term success. 32
B. The Venture Capital E-Marketing Plan – smaller firms may be able to start with the Napkin plan, but as a firm grows it will require capital, and financiers or investors will require a comprehensive e-marketing plan. 1. Types of investors (PPT 3-5) a. Private funds (usually the smallest amount of investment) b. Angel investors (contribute up to hundreds of thousands of dollars) c. Venture capitalists (may contribute up to millions of dollars) 2. Questions that business plans should over a. Who is the new venture's customers? b. How does the customer make decisions about buying this product or service? c. To what degree is the product or service a compelling purchase for the customer? d. How will the product or service be priced? e. How will the venture reach all the identified customer segments? f. How much does it cost (in time and resources) to acquire a customer? g. How much does it cost to produce and deliver the product or service? h. How much does it cost to support a customer? i. How easy is it to retain a customer? 3. Exit plan a. Investors look for a way to get their money and profits out of the venture b. Ideally, investors hope to go public and issue stock.The google.com IPO is an example of Venture Capitalists reaping the rewards from aninvestment. Google.com went public in August of 2004 at $85 per share under the tickersymbol GOOG. As of December of 2004, Google.com shares are trading for $171 pershare after a high of $201 per share.III. A Seven-Step E-Marketing Plan (PPT 3-6)Seven Key planning elements are included in the seven-step e-marketing plan. Onecommonly overlooked element that is crucial to the success of an e-business is feedback.Many experts recommend a contingency plan and trigger points that if reached willinvoke strategy refinement. The steps of the e-marketing plans are detailed below. A. Step 1 – Situational Analysis (PPT 3-7, 3-8) 1. Also known as a SWOT analysis which measures: a. Strengths (internal) b. Weaknesses (internal c. Opportunities (external) d. Threats (external 33

Market opportunity analysis (PPT 3-9) a. Demand analysis b. Segment analysis 2. Supply analysis 3. Identifying brand differentiation variables 4. Positioning strategiesC.

PRMExercise Answers(Exercise answers prepared by David Lan, University of Nevada, Reno, with assistancefrom the authors)NoteDiscussion questions may require outside research whereas review questions donot require research beyond the text.Review Questions1. What are the seven steps in an e -marketing plan? The six steps are Situation analysis, e-marketing strategic planning, setting objectives, e-marketing strategy to meet plan objectives, implementation plan (marketing mix), budget, and evaluation of plan. 35
2. Why do entrepreneurs seeking funding need a venture capital e -marketing plan rather than a napkin plan? Investors are looking for a well-composed business plan, and more importantly, a good team to implement it. The plan prepared by entrepreneurs for VCs should be about eight to ten pages long and contain enough data and logic to prove that (1) the e-business idea is solid and (2) the entrepreneur has some idea of how to run the business. Napkin plans on the other hand are not recommended when substantial resources are involved. This is because sound planning and thoughtful implementation are needed for long-term success in business and e-business. This principle became increasingly evident during the dot-com shakeout.3. What is the purpose of the marketing opportunity analysis and the segment analysis? Marketers conduct a market opportunity analysis (MOA), including both demand and supply analyses, for segmenting and targeting. The demand analysis portion includes market segmentation analyses to describe and evaluate the potential profitability, sustainability, accessibility, and size of various potential segments. Segment analysis in the B2C market uses descriptors such as demographic characteristics, geographic location, selected psychographic characteristics (such as attitude toward technology and wireless communication device ownership), and past behavior toward the product (such as purchasing patterns online and offline). B2B descriptors include firm location, size, industry, type of need, and more. These descriptors help firms identify potentially attractive markets. Firms must also understand segment trends—are they growing or declining in absolute size and product use?4. What four elements in tier one and five elements in tier two are devised for e - marketing strategy? From Exhibit 3.5. Tier one – Positioning, Differentiation, Segmentation, and Targeting. Tier two – Offer, Value, Distribution, Communication, and CRM/PRM.5. What is the purpose of an e -marketing objective-strategy matrix? One simple way to present the firm's e-marketing strategies and accompanying goals is through an objective-strategy matrix. This is a graphical device that helps marketers better understand their implementation requirements (Exhibit 3.6). Each cell contains a yes or no, depending on how the marketer will link particular goals and strategies.6. How do managers use budgeting within the e -marketing planning process? A key part of any strategic plan is to identify the expected returns from an investment. These can then be matched against costs to develop a cost/benefit analysis, ROI calculation, or internal rate of return (IRR), which management uses to determine whether the effort is worthwhile. This would include forecasting of revenue, intangible benefits, and cost savings. Revenue forecasting would estimate the level of Web site traffic over time, because this number affects the amount of revenue a firm can expect to generate from its site. Revenue streams that produce Internet profits come mainly from Web site direct 36
sales, advertising sales, subscription fees, affiliate referrals, sales at partner sites, commissions, and other fees. Intangible benefits are much harder to budget for, how does a manager account for brand equity or increased brand awareness? Putting a financial figure on such benefits is challenging but essential for e-marketers. Finally, money saved through Internet efficiencies is considered soft revenue for a firm. Examples of savings could include those from channel markups, not having to printing direct mail advertisements, postage, etc.7. Why do e-marketing plans need an evaluation component? Once the e-marketing plan is implemented, its success depends on continuous evaluation. In general, today's firms are quite ROI driven. As a result, e-marketers must show how their intangible goals, such as brand building or CRM, will lead to higher revenue down the road. Also, they must present accurate and timely metrics to justify their initial and ongoing e-marketing expenditures throughout the period covered by the plan.Discussion Questions8. If you had money to invest, what would you look for in a venture capital e- marketing plan? Given the dot com shakeout, companies must have a comprehensive e-marketing plan to survive. The plan prepared by entrepreneurs for VCs should be about eight to ten pages long and contain enough data and logic to prove that (1) the e-business idea is solid and (2) the entrepreneur has some idea of how to run the business. William Sahlman (1997) of Harvard University identifies nine questions that every business plan should answer: Who is the new venture's customer? How does the customer make decisions about buying this product or service? To what degree is the product or service a compelling purchase for the customer? How will the product or service be priced? How will the venture reach all the identified customer segments? How much does it cost (in time and resources) to acquire a customer? How much does it cost to produce and deliver the product or service? How much does it cost to support a customer? How easy is it to retain a customer?9. What kinds of questions should a firm ask in developing an e-marketing plan to serve customers in current markets through an online channel? Venture capitalists typically look for an exit plan—a way to get their money and profits out of the venture within a few years. These days, the golden exit plan is to go public and issue stock in an initial public offering (IPO). As soon as the stock price rises sufficiently, the VC cashes out and moves on to another investment. 37
10. Why is it important for e -marketers to specify not only the task but also the measurable quantity and time frame for accomplishing an objective? Without concrete metrics measuring how much and when a task is considered complete, e-marketers run the risk of delaying and putting off objectives in their marketing strategy. A time element and minimum guidelines must be set for accountability, otherwise objectives may be postponed indefinitely.11. Why would the management of American Airlines expect its e-marketers to estimate the financial impact of intangible benefits such as building brand equity through e-mail messages to frequent flyers? Determining value for intangible benefits is absolutely necessary for e-marketers. Given the dot com shakeout, e-marketers are continuously asked for figures on ROI and justification for continued spending. This entails research and analysis on potential flights booked from online advertising campaigns, site usage, etc. Putting a financial figure on such benefits is challenging but essential for e-marketers. The days of wanton technology spending are over, management is asking for proof of ROI. 38

Utah Jazz instant analysis: Youth movement is on in Salt Lake City
Coming off three straight losses? Check. Minus three starters? Yes. Starting two young big guys, ages 21 and 20? You've got it. The Utah Jazz had a lot going against them, but the recent woes were snapped thanks to one of the most comfortable victories of the season. The short-handed home squad handily defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 98-68.
Utah head coach Tyrone Corbin found himself without veterans Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap and Mo Williams. The trio is responsible for 45.7 points, 18.7 rebounds, and 11.4 assists per outing. In their absence, the Jazz bandied together to produce an excellent team effort.
Career night: Second-year center Enes Kanter came into the game averaging 6.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in 14.3 minutes per game. He has definitely had his moments, but finds himself playing in a crowded front court of talented big men.
Kanter took advantage of the situation and had easily the best night of his NBA life. In a career-high 45 minutes, he was just too much for the underwhelming Bobcats front court. Scoring on a variety of moves, Kanter was 10-of-12 from the floor and corralled a massive 22 rebounds to go with 23 points. Both of those also constituted career-highs. He was solid of defense, as well.
Should Jefferson or Millsap be out for a bit, Kanter showed Friday night that he is capable of putting up some big numbers.
Bench play: Kanter was not the only one who stepped up for Utah. Seldom-used Jeremy Evans produced one of his finest games of his young career. In 26 minutes, the high-flying former NBA Slam Dunk champion shot 6-8 from the field and finished with 14 points and nine rebounds.
The ever-hustling DeMarre Carroll was equally efficient, hitting 7 of 10 field goals en route to a 19-point, three-steal evening. Gordon Hayward and Alec Burks continued their strong play, finishing with 14 and 10 points, respectively. Three reserves had +/- marks of +22 or better.
When it was said and done, the Jazz bench outscored their Bobcat counterparts 57-34.
Odds n' ends:
—Utah simply outran the listless Bobcats, dominating the fast break battle 30-2.
—Charlotte was paced by Byron Mullens, who only had 12 points. Only one other Charlotte player finished in double-digit scoring.
—The Jazz had a difficult time holding on to the ball, committing 22 turnovers (to their 23 assists).
—After not playing the past two games, point guard Jamaal Tinsley had five assists in 14 minutes.

December 19, 2014 - I bought the black one for a cousin. It arrived much quicker than I thought, being Christmas season. I am super happy with this purse. Hopefully I will be able to purchase more after Christmas. I think this purse should be handled with care. Hope my cousin likes it.
October 29, 2012 - I purchased one of each color. In a word, "BEAUTIFUL". Especially recommend getting the gold handbag and the matching gold "Square Deal" coin purse. Each one looks like a million dollars and together they are unbeatable for dramatic impact. Very happy with all three handbags (and the two coin purses I bought in gold and in white).

Most popular page visited after arriving at War of 1812 website? The exittags: AP, Canada, War of 1812, commemorations, bicentennials
OTTAWA - The splashy home pages for the Harper government's elaborate War of 1812 website were by far the most popular feature for visitors who crowded into the online museum last year, thanks to an ad blitz during the Olympics.
The next most popular page? The exit.
The government spent upwards of $28 million to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, billing it as an under-appreciated piece of Canadian history.
Indeed, polls conducted in the years prior to the anniversary suggested most Canadians had little knowledge or interest in the conflict that some argue lay the groundwork for Confederation....

Does anyone know who was involved in the accident that happened in the middle of town this afternoon? It looked horrible!
#2 Nov 25, 2010
Don't know who it was, but apparently the people in the black car that got smashed were visiting from Corpus. I was told that the driver of the white truck had been drinking and was going about 80 when he hit them. They had to cut the car open to get them out. Absolutely terrible. My thoughts are with the family.
#3 Nov 26, 2010
thats so sad my heart goes out to the family too,its such a bad thing to have to happen to anyone,especially in this small town, i hate to say this ,but, i am angry that any type of beer or liquor u name it, does not get as much attention as cigarrettes and everything else thats seems to be bad for our health, drinking and driving is the number one killer, i can die from that first then smoking and driving or secondhand smoke for that matter.i know we cant blame the beer industries, for they're out there to make a buck just like all other industries regardless if its harmful or not,its ppl like this guy in the truck and others who cant seem to grow up and think before they get behind the wheel, ya he will regret it for the rest of his life,do some time, but still what about the ppl he hit,they will never be or feel the same because of this guy,i think someone needs to do something more to keep this DUI's and DWI's off our streets so that we can feel safe when driving,this are our streets too and we have the right to use them as well. so to this guy who chose to be behind the wheel, i hope you don't a second chance for this ppl might not have one either THANKS TO YOU.

Yes someone died they claim a bunch of kids from the fire dept. responded and were asking the public to go get oxygen and when they came with the oxygen they told that person no not that one the other one, all the while alls those kids did was watch the people hurt in the car. The man that died was gasping for air while they watched and gave orders, now where was the fire chief why was'nt he there baby sitting those kids that respond and are so proud to wear a fire dept. shirt ever since 911
#13 Nov 28, 2010
Thats your Devine Fire Department for ya. For those of you who dont know, 95% of the experienced firefighters in Devine have left over the garbage that has been going on there. It isnt the kids fault, they are learning, or should I say, trying to learn. The training is a joke, the leadership is a joke, and this accident is just a preview of the future for Devine.
#14 Nov 28, 2010
the fire dept is a whole separate issue. Who were the people involved in the accident?
United States
#15 Nov 28, 2010
Who was the one driving the white truck i heard he was shot up? was he?? from what i hear they opened his door and needles came tumbling out? does anyone know if this is true? i know who the people were in the black car and my regards r with them. thats just not fair to them with what happened. i hope that guy does a long time and hates himself for what he did.:-(
#16 Nov 28, 2010
Yes they did open the door and find needles because he is diabetic my mother and sister were there when it happened and helped everybody to the best of their abilities nobody knows what exactly happened and why he lost it but what is done is done, i am sure there will be ten different stories because of course this is Devine
#17 Nov 28, 2010
Stop being so damn nosey and trying to start rumors that he was shooting up when you have no idea. The guy was diabetic. Damn. Didn't know just because someone has needles automatically assumes he shots up. That's why there is going to be millions sides of the story because people add stuff to what happened to make it sound worse then it already is.
#18 Nov 29, 2010
I still don't know who was involved in the accident. I would like to pay my respects to those that have passed or are injured. I am getting conflicting information about the names of the of the people involved and would like to get the correct information.
United States

After ten years, us brutalers finally receive a genius album from Skinless!

The bumpy road of technology partnerships: Understanding causes and consequences of partnership mal-functioning
Research on technological partnerships has traditionally sought explanation of their high failure rates in partner characteristics and relationship features. This study introduces the notion of a 'bumpy road' in technology partnerships which refers to undesired outcomes such as 'partnership mal-functioning' and 'instability' to the degree to which innovation activities are hampered. We explain how firm-level strategies can reduce the probability of a 'bumpy road' in partnerships. We also assess the impact of this 'bumpy road' on innovative performance. We find that firms that excel in diversification of external activities (in terms of different types of partners) perform best. Moreover, a persistent product oriented innovation strategy geared at developing new products, new markets, or higher product quality will yield more stable partnership outcomes. Our results confirm that engagement in partnerships is beneficial for innovative performance. However, firms that experienced a 'bumpy road' in their technological partnerships have to pay a price in terms of a negative effect on their innovative performance.

Before looking out the window, look at your fluffy pillow which is ready with the day's weather conditions
Technology development is apparently a 'brainiac's' domain but presentation of technology in novel and imaginative modes is the playfield of someone known as a creative technologist. Katie Koepfinger, an interactive designer and creative technologist from NYC in collaboration with Burcum Turkmen and team has developed a way of viewing weather that does away with extra details and is very 'soft' and direct.
Presenting the Fluffy Forecast, a glanceable networked weather notification system which connects pertinent household items to thereby enabling them to provide users with simple reminders. The system's main interface is embedded in a decorative pillow which provides weather data as soon as the user awakens. The concept behind the project was to move from the conventional method of weather reading from screen based devices to something which is more natural and a larger part of daily living.
The team's pre-development research indicated that most people like to check out weather conditions for the day ahead first thing in the morning and they do so by taking note of the most basic weather data and details. This prolific investigation led to the team's developing of a soft pillow which displays weather in a pictorial and creative fashion which is not only accurate but very uniquely presented. This unique presentation makes the device highly desirable for the morning routine with the quality of bringing some cheer to the day's start.

'Thomas Jefferson' Running For U.S. House
Originally published on Wed July 25, 2012 10:30 am
By editor
STEVE INSKEEP HOST: Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Some residents of Kansas have the chance to send a founding father to Congress. Jack Talbert is Libertarian, running in the state's fourth district. To be precise, a man formerly name Jack Talbert is running. He legally changed his name to Thomas Jefferson, which we will call him from now on. Mr. Jefferson calls his name change a tribute to the nation's third president. It will also most likely boost his name recognition in this fall's election. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

Snapshot 22–28 July 2015
Somalia: More than 10,000 people have been displaced in Lower Shabelle and Bay regions since AMISOM and Somali armed forces began their offensive. Al Shabaab has lost control of Bardhere in Gedo and Dinsoor in Bay. In accessible areas of Hudur town, Bakool, 33% GAM and 19% SAM were observed in a MUAC assessment in July – a significant deterioration since June. Very critical malnutrition rates persist in Bulo Burde, Hiraan.
Snapshot 15–21 July 2015
Iraq: More than 74,440 people have been displaced from Saqlawiyah in Falluja district since 8 July, and tens of thousands reportedly remain trapped in Falluja and Ramadi districts. There are now more than 3.1 million IDPs across 3,613 locations in Iraq; 300,000 people have been displaced from and within Anbar since military operations began in April.
At mid year, global funding of humanitarian assistance stands at $4.8 billion, or 26% of requirements - the lowest mid-year coverage in ten years. Global financial requirements for 2015 have risen by $2.4 billion since December 2014, from $16.4 billion to $18.8 billion as of early June 2015. Since December appeals have been added for the Burundi crisis, Djibouti, Guatemala, Honduras, Libya, Nepal, the Sahel regio, Vanuatu and Yemen.
The report describes inter-agency efforts to meet the needs of 78.9 million vulnerable people in 37 countries in:
Snapshot 10–16 June 2015
Ebola in Sierra Leone and Guinea: Weekly Ebola case incidence has risen for two consecutive weeks. Guinea recorded 16 new cases in the week to 7 June, five from unknown chains of transmission. Sierra Leone recorded 15 cases, the highest weekly total since late March. It has extended the state of emergency for 90 days.
Snapshot 3-9 June 2015
Yemen: 20 million people, close to 80% of the population, are estimated to need humanitarian aid. 500,000 people were displaced in May, bringing the total displaced since 26 March to more than 1 million. The escalation in the conflict has meant two million more people are food insecure, and six million more lack access to healthcare, and 9.4 million lack access to safe water.
Snapshot 28 May–2 June 2015
Iraq: 104,000 IDPs from Ramadi district over 15–29 May brings the total number of displaced in Anbar to 238,000 since April. They are facing serious restrictions accessing neighbouring governorates. In Anbar, Islamic State abducted 400 children in the last week of May. The humanitarian response for Syria is facing severe cutbacks due to funding shortages.
Mali: Gao and Timbutku regions have been the scene of multiple clashes between the Azawad Movement Coalition and Malian forces, as well as the pro-government Gatia militia. At least 12 people have been killed, including nine civilians. About 31,500 people have been displaced from three districts in Timbuktu region. They are in urgent needs of water, food, NFIs, and shelter support, but access is limited.
Iraq: Islamic State have taken control of Ramadi. 500 died and 42,840 people fled fighting in the city over 16–17 May, adding to the 180,000 displaced in Anbar since early April. Access to new IDPs in Habbaniyah, Khadiyah district, is limited due to insecurity, and health concerns are growing.
Snapshot 6–12 May 2015
Iraq: Conflict has escalated in a number of locations. In Anbar, fighting has displaced more than 47,000 in Karmah district, and more than 133,000 around Ramadi. Clashes between Islamic State and government forces have intensified around Baiji oil refinery, in Salah al Din.
Snapshot 29 April–5 May 2015
Nepal: The death toll from the earthquake has reached 7,250, with more than 14,000 injured. Aftershocks are still occurring, and some villages have still not been reached. 300,000 homes are estimated to need rebuilding or repair.
Yemen: The estimated number of IDPs has doubled since 17 April to reach 300,000, as conflict continues. Food distribution, health, and WASH systems are on the verge of collapse, due in large part to severe fuel shortages.
South Asia
Nepal Earthquake
On Saturday 25 April, an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 on the Richter scale struck the poor, landlocked and mountainous Asian state of Nepal. By 30 April, the death toll had risen to more than 5,500 and the UN estimates that 8million people across the country are affected by the disaster – more than a quarter of the population.

It combines the findings of two separate evaluations undertaken in Somalia in the latter half of 2014:
1) Shelter response
2) Shelter cluster coordination
Snapshot 22–28 April 2015
Nepal: The 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit the country on 25 April has affected 8 million people. As of 28 April, 5,057 people have been reported dead, and more than 8,500 injured. Hundreds of thousands of people are living in tents, while the villages closest to the quake's epicentre remain inaccessible.
Snapshot 15–21 April 2015
Iraq Violence has displaced 14,000 families in and around Ramadi: 7,000 in Anbar; 5,000 in Baghdad, 2,000 on their way to Baghdad. Checkpoints and insecurity hamper IDP movement. UNICEF estimates 8.29 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, up from 5.2 million in February.
Snapshot 9–14 April 2015
Afghanistan: Security incidents have spiked in early April, after the announcement that more NATO troops would remain in the country than originally scheduled. NATO convoys were targeted in Nangarhar and Kabul on 10 April. On the same day, five NGO staff were found dead, having been abducted in Uruzgan province in early March.
Snapshot 1–8 April 2015
Iraq: Violence, looting and serious human rights violations were reported as Iraqi forces and affiliated groups recaptured Tikrit. There are numerous booby traps and tensions are reportedly rising between government forces and militias. Elsewhere, IDPs are returning: tens of thousands have gone home to Diyala, Ninewa and Al Alam in Salah al Din since February.
Snapshot 25–31 March 2015
Ukraine: Fears are growing of a new offensive in Mariupol, as non-government troops appear to be gathering nearby. A recent assessment has found that more than 1.6 million people need humanitarian assistance, nearly 1.1 million of whom are in non-government-controlled areas. 20–30% of IDPs are at risk of losing their status and benefits, due to a new mechanism to verify the addresses of IDPs.
SOMALIA – Forced evictions
• The number of forced evictions in Mogadishu are again on the rise, as an estimated 2 700 - 5 000 households have been evicted from their houses during the first week of March and more are expected. Overall, in the months of January and February, more than 25 700 internally displaced persons have been evicted from public and private buildings in Mogadishu by the Federal Government. Forced evictions have also been reported in other areas of the country, notably Kismayo, Bosasso and Luuq.
Tracking food security trends in vulnerable countries
The Global Food Security Update provides a quarterly overview of key food security trends in vulnerable countries. Information is provided by WFP VAM field teams and partners.
In focus
Conflict in Iraq has disrupted food markets, leading to price hikes in Anbar, Salah Al-Din and Kirkuk. According to the 2014-2015 Strategic Response Plan, around 5.2 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, and over 2.5 million people are currently displaced.
Snapshot 18-24 March 2015
Syria: The Government carried out over 10,000 airstrikes between October and March, dropping more than 5,300 barrel bombs and killing almost 2,200 civilians. A chlorine attack on 16 March in Idleb killed six people.
