1 Guinea-Bissau Country Profile
Generic Information
Located in West Africa, Guinea-Bissau is bordered by Senegal to the north, by Guinea to the east and south, and by the Atlantic Ocean to the west.
It covers 36,125 square kilometres (13,948 sq mi), with an estimated population of 1,759,159 inhabitants (July 2016 est.); of which: 51.6% are women and 50.2% are young people varying in age from 15 to 35 years (General Population and Housing Census, 2009).
Upon independence, declared in 1973 and recognised in 1974, the name of its capital, Bissau, was added to the country's name to prevent confusion with Guinea (formerly French Guinea, also referred to as Guinea-Conakry). Guinea-Bissau has a history of political instability. Since independence no elected president has successfully served a full five-year term. The country is governed by the Constitution of 1996 which advocates the institution of liberal democracy.
Guinea-Bissau is endowed with significant forest, soil, mineral, water, animal, and fishing resources.
The national territory is divided into 8 administrative regions populated by a diversity of ethno linguistic groups. Bissau, the capital, is an Autonomous Sector.
The regions are:
The Bissagos Islands, also spelled Bijagó, are a group of about 88
islands and islets located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of
the African nation of Guinea-Bissau. The archipelago was formed
from the ancient delta of the Rio Geba and the Rio Grande and spans
an area of 2,624 km2 (1,184 sq. miles).
Only some 20 islands are populated year-round, namely Bubaque which is where the Bissagos administrative capital is situated and is the most populated island, Bolama, Carache, Caravela, Enu, Formosa, Galinhas, João Vieira, Maio, Meneque, Orango, Orangozinho, Ponta, Roxa, Rubane, Soga, Unhacomo, Uno, and Uracane.
There is a high diversity of ecosystems: mangroves with intertidal zones, palm forests, dry and semi-dry forests, secondary and degraded forests, coastal savanna, sand banks and aquatic zones. The archipelago was declared in 1996 a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve—Boloma Bijagós Biosphere Reserve, and the southern islands are today a nature reserve.
The population is estimated at about 30,000 (2006) and the local ethnic group known as Bijago predominates. It is a relatively youthful population due to high birth rates and low life expectancy even by African standards.

Comments / Details |
Drought |
No |
Diminished rain average are reported mainly in land where deforestation occurred. Deforested land is reported to be progressively suffering from drought. It is a recent phenomenon, no exact data is yet available on the effects. |
Earthquakes |
No |
|
Epidemics |
Yes |
Epidemics of cholera reported cases in 2005-2006 and 2008. The highest attack rates were registered in Bissau, Biombo, Bijagos and Oio. Hygiene and sanitation conditions might give room to epidemics of Diarrhoea and Cholera, as well as Malaria. Though Guinea-Bissau has never known cases of Ebola virus disease, the virus is still being monitored. Additionally, monitoring is ongoing for suspected cases of ZIKA allegedly by carriers from Brazil. An epidemic monitoring system is in place. The warning and/or public preparedness system that can lead a quick and correct response in case of any hazards is weak. |
Extreme Temperatures |
No |
|
Flooding |
Yes |
High tidal waves and unnatural patterns of precipitation such as flash floods, common after heavy rains cause loss of crops and livestock, damage to homes and degradation of the environment. |

Civil Strife |
Yes |
Some instability. The history of Guinea-Bissau has been marked by several armed conflicts, particularly the civil war of 1998-1999. There has been some political instability with coup d’états in 1980, 2003 and 2012, attempted coups in 1985 and 1993, and recent political/military tensions in April 2010, December 2011 and October 2012. Following the conduct of successful democratic elections in 2014, the Transitional Government period ended and previous cycles of upsetting the constitutional order by armed means ceased. Since August 2014, four Governments have succeeded each other. Civil Unrest: Demonstrations are usually peaceful. Strikes are also common but carried out in an orderly manner. |
International Conflict |
No |
|
Internally Displaced Persons |
No |

Refugees Present |
Yes |
8,601 (country of origin: Senegal - reference CIA world Factbook 2015).Refugees are largely absorbed in the community. UNHCR focuses on legal assistance for citizenship rights obtainment. |
Landmines / UXO Present |
Yes |
The US State Department issued a new travel warning for Guinea-Bissau describing “thousands of landmines” across the country, highlighting the risk in rural areas north of Bissau. Guinea-Bissau has declared itself free of anti-personnel landmines so these mines could be anti-tank mines. (May 2015) |
Other Comments |
Generally minimal threat of natural disasters. No records of serious floods, droughts, wildfires, earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones or landslides. Durign the rainy season, high winds and heavy rains are common which can occasionally cause damage to buildings and result in crop loss. Overall the country suffers a fragility due to poor infrastructure, lack of response mechanisms, and political instability. Specialization on one main export production (cashew), and insufficient food production makes it partially dependent on import. |

Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
Government
Government capacity to respond to emergencies is limited.
Due to political and institutional instability, a high turnover of key roles in government institutions does not allow for well-established practices. There is no government emergency response coordination mechanism in place.
During the Ebola outbreak that invested the neighbour countries in 2014, Guinea-Bissau Prime Minister nominated a High Commissioner for an ad hoc coordination role to work with UN and all agencies involved.
The Health Emergency Operation Centre - Centro de Operações para Emergências de Saúde (COES), established within the MoH and under the authority of the Health Minister, have a role of collecting epidemiological data. It have a role of preparedness and response coordination for health emergencies.
The Civil Protection department Sistema Nacional de Proteção Civil was instituted in 2011. It does not have enough means for effective intervention.
Military assets are not used for humanitarian emergency intervention.

2 Guinea-Bissau Logistics Infrastructure
The country is small and logistics infrastructures are basic.
WATERWAYS
The main port of Bissau has limited equipment and infrastructures.
The connections with the islands are difficult: the only ferry that can load passengers and cargo was out of order at the time of the assessment. Small private boats are the only means to reach the islands. They have a limited loading capacity both for passengers and cargo. Traditional pirogues are offering transport, but the incident rate is reported high. No other commercial ports are available in the country. Small natural harbours are present, on the islands and in rivers delta but they are restricted by shallow water and reachable only by small vessels
AVIATION
There is one only airport in the country. Guinea-Bissau does not have a national airline. The national airline was liquidated in 1998, when the Guinea-Bissau government contracted all services to TACV of Cape Verde
ROADS
Main country axes roads are paved with acceptable conditions, accessible all year round. In the South of the country, roads are more deteriorated. In Tombali region some locations cannot be reached by trucks during rainy season and some roads are not accessible also by lighter vehicles in some periods.
REGULATORY DEPARTMENTS
The government does not have emergency protocols, and solid preparedness structures in place. The government departments in normal times do facilitate the NGOs and UN agencies with tax exemption. A positive feature is the lack of congestion in roads, entry points, and govt. departments.
