Human Development Report 2001 Somalia Human Development Report 2001 Somalia is a country in transition. After years of civil strife the nature of the Somali state has changed and Somalis have the extraordinary opportunity to recon- struct their political, social and economic systems afresh. The 2001 Human Development Report compiles and analyses the latest available data on Somalia. It provides a timely analysis of a society in transition and contributes to our understanding of its dynamics. ‘The report will be a crucial document for discussion and dissemination of contemporary human develop- ment issues in Somalia.’ Mogadishu Reading Circle ‘The report covers comprehensively most aspects of human development in Somalia and is able to give a broad picture and specific variations in regard to the different regions of Somalia.’ Baidoa Reading Circle ‘All in all our team of readers was impressed by the report, in the sense that they found it not only very interesting and useful but also very balanced with regards to the prevalent sensibilities of the Somalis.’ Hargeisa Reading Circle Government of Denmark United Nations Development Programme Somalia Country Office P.O.

The Authors The authors of the 2001 Human Development Report for Somalia are Mark Bradbury, Ken Menkhaus and Roland Marchal. Mark Bradbury also guided the work as Coordinating Editor. At different stages Paul Muwera, Sanda Ojiambo and Christian Webersik did invaluable work on the collection and analysis of data. Primary responsibility for errors of analysis and interpretation lie with the authors. Methodology The HDR draws upon a variety of studies and reports on Somalia over the past decade and interviews conducted by the authors. Chapter 4 was supplemented by information generated by a human rights workshop in Hargeisa with Somali human rights organisations. The statistical data used in this report was compiled from existing databases, surveys and documentation on Somalia. The Human Development Index was calculated on the basis of a socio-economic household survey under- taken by UNDP in 2001 (see chapter 5). A draft of the report was critically reviewed by Reading Circles in Mogadishu, Baidoa, Garowe and Hargeisa, com- prising Somalis from the regional administrations, civil society organisations and business communities. The draft report was reviewed by UNDP Somalia and by other UN agencies. The human development indicator tables were reviewed and agreed upon by UN agencies, both individually and collectively through the Somalia Aid Coordination Body (SACB) health and education sectoral committees. Comments arising from these reviews were taken into account in producing the final report.

The present report is submitted pursuant to the statement of the President of the Security Council of 31 October 2001 (S/PRST/2001/30). The report provides an update on developments in and related to Somalia since my last report of 9 June 2004 (S/2004/469). The main focus of the report is the progress achieved at the Somali National Reconciliation Conference at Mbagathi, Somalia, under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), with Kenya as Chairman. The report also provides an update on developments inside Somalia, the security situation and the humanitarian and development activities of United Nations programmes and agencies. II. Somali National Reconciliation Conference 2. At the end of June 2004, owing to controversies regarding the method of selection of members of the transitional federal parliament, many Somali leaders absented themselves from the Somali National Reconciliation Conference. However, concerted efforts by the member States of IGAD, especially their Ministers for Foreign Affairs, led to a gradual return of those leaders to the Conference in July. The Ministers also called for the early arrival of traditional leaders at the Conference site and for Somali political leaders to cooperate in the process of selecting the members of parliament. They warned that absent leaders would not be allowed to hold the peace process hostage and that punitive measures would be taken against those obstructing its completion. 3. Each Somali clan (Hawiye, Darod, Digil and Mirifle, Dir and the “Allied” clans) was requested to submit a list of names to form the Somali National Arbitration Committee and the collective leadership of the Conference, which is called the Presidium.

    Post-Conflict Education Development in Somaliland

    Post-Conflict Education Development in Somaliland Post-Conflict Education Development in Somaliland Samuel Ayele Bekalo, Michael Brophy and Geoff Welford Abstract In the light of fresh international initiatives to achieve Universal Basic Education (UBE) and gender equality in education by 2015, this paper examines factors affecting its realisation in the context of Somaliland. In a country where over 80% of school age children are receiving little meaningful education, the paper reflects on more flexible education approaches to provide sustainable education for children and disadvantaged adults. The paper draws on fieldwork data from a DfID funded study [1] and the authors' own experiences. The discussion highlights the peculiar circumstances of Somaliland. It charts the provision of Education in the then Somalia from the colonial era through post-independence times to the civil conflict which led to the destruction of education in the country. It goes on to look at the progress being made at the present time following “stop-gap” measures for emergency education towards revitalising enhanced education. It completes the picture by describing challenges to the achievement of the UBE target. The authors review aspects of alternative and flexible educational approaches and urge the integration of these non-formal systems with the formal, governmentally controlled school systems being restored in Somaliland. They do so while sounding a note of caution that for all the energy and enthusiasm associated with these approaches, they have yet to be evaluated for their effectiveness in providing quality basic education. This paper looks at education in Somaliland. It presents a brief summary of the development of education from colonial times, through the recent civil conflict into the present time.
