The NDP II prioritisation process, which started in July 2018 and concluded in December 2018 included extensive dialogue and consultation with technical representatives from 54 central government institutions and local governments. The “priority of priorities” of the Government of Somaliland have been identified based on Somaliland’s needs, as well as the priorities set out by His Excellency, President Muse Bihi Abdi, following his elections in November 2017. I am grateful for the leadership and guidance of the Ministry’s Director General, Abdirashed Ibrahim Abdirahman who worked tirelessly with the prioritisation team and his counterparts across the Somaliland Government institutions to ensure that the prioritisation process was on track. Special thanks to Mubareg Abdulahi Ibrahim, the Ministry’s Director of Planning who, as the technical team leader of the prioritization process played a very crucial role. Abdilahi Ahmed and Mahdi Omar Sheik worked individually with each government institution, as well as with each sector and inter-sector committees, to ensure that the priorities of the Government were captured within and across institutions. Thanks to also Hinda Yousuf, Abdikarim Mohamoud and Ministry’s departmental directors and regional coordinators who contributed to the process. The sectoral approach taken as part of the methodology, encouraged the government institutions to think beyond their own organizations and take a more “systems- approach” to operationalising the NDP II. Importantly, regional prioritisation workshops were held across the six regions of Somaliland to inform the process with the active involvement of regional representatives of central government institutions and local governments. On behalf of the Government, I would like to thank various development partners – in particular, DFID, DANIDA, the Governments of the Netherlands and Norway, the current development partners for the Somaliland Development Fund for making the prioritisation process possible. My Senior Adviser, Antony van de Loo supported by the Government of Denmark played an important role in the preparation and implementation of the process. The three experts, Alex Parks, Rima das Pradhan-Blach and Ahmed Mohamed Diriye provided invaluable advice, bringing international as well as Somaliland-specific expertise to develop simple tools for prioritisation of the NDP II and guided the process, while ensuring Government leadership and ownership of the process. The Vice Minister of MoPND, H.E. Hussein Ibrahim Buni played an important role in communicating to the public about the prioritisation process. The Communications team from the Ministry ensured that efforts were documented, as well as ensuring that regular updates were provided to the public. Most importantly, the National Planning Commission, appointed by H.E. President Muse Bihi Abdi have endorsed the priorities identified by the technical teams. The National Planning Commission, chaired by myself, is composed of eleven ministers who set the strategic development priorities of the Government of Somaliland. Their guidance in this process has been invaluable in moving
