PSC/PR/2 (CV) Rev.1 Page 9 2007 CAP amounted to US$ 383 million, out of which 275 million were received by midDecember. 33. As part of its mandate, and in spite of the constraints facing the Mission, AMISOM has continued to provide medical services, including treatment for minor illnesses, gunshot wounds, pregnant women and children, to between 200 and 500 people a month. It also provides water to the population residing within the immediate surroundings of the Mission’s Headquarters, in Mogadishu. V. IMPLEMENTATION OF AMISOM MANDATE AND CONTINGENCY PLANNING FOR A POSSIBLE UN OPERATION 34. During the period under review, no significant progress was made in strengthening AMISOM, owing to the continued financial and logistical constraints facing the Commission. The total budget for AMISOM for a year amounts to about US$ 622 million. So far, a little over US$ 32 million have been contributed, originating exclusively from AU partners, namely the EU, Italy, Sweden, China and the League of Arab States. The United Kingdom has pledged £ 8.5 million for AMISOM deployment, and provided assistance for the establishment of AMISOM Support Management Planning Unit (SMPU). The EU has also pledged 5 million Euro for the SPMU and another 500,000 to cover insurance cost, in addition to technical assistance for budget related matters. The United Nations has deployed a team of military and civilian experts to the AU Headquarters to support mission planning and management. Furthermore, the US continues to provide significant logistical support to the Ugandan contingent, as well as communication equipment for the Mission’ strategic Headquarters in Addis Ababa, and has pledged to facilitate transportation to Somalia for Troop Contributing Countries (TCCs). NATO has also pledged to airlift troops to Somalia. Also, as reported to Council earlier, Algeria provided airlift for the initial deployment, while Kenya offered other facilities in support of the operation. On its part, Nigeria pledged a financial contribution of US$ 2 million. Yet it is clear that the resources and the logistical support mobilized so far fall far short of what is required for the full deployment of AMISOM and the sustenance of its operations. 35. As a result, to date, out of the 8,000 troops authorized by Council in January 2007, only 2 Ugandan battalions and an advance team of 192 Burundian soldiers, which were deployed on 23 and 24 December 2007, are on the ground, in Mogadishu. However, at the time of finalizing this report, steps were underway to deploy the main body of the first of the two battalions pledged by Burundi. The US is providing the support required for the ongoing Burundian deployment. The remaining Burundian battalion is ready for deployment, but assistance has yet to be mobilized for major equipment, in-theatre logistical support, and payment of troops allowances. No timetable has yet been set for the deployment of the contingents pledged by Ghana (350) and Nigeria (1 battalion of 850). In this respect, it should be noted that a Ghanaian envoy visited Addis Ababa to discuss issues relating to the deployment of the Ghanaian contingent; the Commission also intends to dispatch a team to Nigeria to follow-up on the pledge made by that country. During the period under review, no new contributions of troops were recorded. The Member States approached by the Commission either
