At the time of writing the president elect was drawing up a new government and cabinet and it is anticipated with a reduced number of Ministries. A reasonably stable environment in some districts in South Central Somalia has led to a review of the possibility of re-engagement of JPLG phase two activities in two target districts, and JPLG has commenced efforts on undertaking security and conflict assessments in Adado and Hamarweyne districts to see whether JPLG activities can in fact be carried out in these two districts. Final decision will be made following the results of this assessment/analysis in August. Phase one JPLG activities are progressing well in the 16 districts of Mogadishu. For example priority projects have been identified and widely consulted in all 16 districts and nine of the proposed projects have received preliminary agreement and approval to proceed with the tender process. Works have commenced in five districts, after receipt of the detailed action plan, pre-intervention photos, GIS coordinates and tender documentation. These are: District Office in Hammarweyne District; vocational training centre for women in Waberi; market rehabilitations in Wardigleey and Wadajir, and expansion of a primary school in Deynile. Two of the rehabilitation works are near completion and will be handed over in mid-July. The draft local government procurement guidelines for Somaliland (SL) and Puntland (PL) were translated into Somali, the procurement training service providers (in SL and PL) received refresher training, and the training modules were finalized in preparation for the training of the Mayors and District Council staff. A two-day introductory public private partnership (PPP) and policy framework dialogue workshop intended for the leadership in both central and local government was held in PL. The workshop provided participants with an introduction to the concept of PPP, the rational for their use, and the various forms of PPP. The District Development Planning, Budgeting and implementation system and manuals are now endorsed by the respective MOIs. Modules one to six have now been reviewed and the final changes are being made to them the review included an increased focus on gender issues. Implementation of the 2009 service delivery projects continued in the 2009 target districts. In Berbera, Somaliland: Hamaas Health Post; Lasadacawo Market and Burao Kibir water supply were completed; with the forth project Burao Shiekh Market at 97% complete with paint works remaining. In Borama, Somaliland: Construction of Gravel Road at Sheikh Alijawhar; construction of Gravel Road at Sheikh Osman and construction of Berked (water storage) at Gurayacawl were completed. The other the two community centre’s at Sheikh Makahil and Sheikh Ahmedsalan remain at 70% and 59% respectively and the Mayor is taking action to address the delays with contractor (i.e. the contractor will be penalised and contract terminated should he fail to deliver within agreed timeframe). It is expected that these two projects will be completed early in quarter three. Operations and maintenance plans for all of these projects have been prepared by the district councils with JPLG support. The JPLG will continue to monitor the operations and delivery of services from these assets. 3 UN Joint Programme on Local Governance and Decentralised Service Delivery Extensive support has been provided to MOWDAFA to take a lead role at the national level, and to work together with the Ministry of Interior and District Councils to ensure sensitization on gender and women’s rights and public role, especially aimed at local government officials, clan elders and women leaders. Discussions started in this quarter with MOFASD to identify the activities where support would be needed. JPLG has worked to ensure an appropriate level of representation of women in meetings, trainings or consultations, but much more work is still needed. The percentage of women in JPLG training is 16% for Puntland and 19% for Somaliland in this quarter. In Somaliland, community user monitoring groups have been established and are signatory to the payment certificates of the on-going priority service delivery projects. For the on-going 2010 project preparation and design process, a community project assessment form has been developed, which communities are required to sign off as part of the project approval process. This is to ensure not only that the projects being designed for implementation are those that they had prioritized but that they are also in agreement with the design itself. This is to ensure that communities have a say in design elements where appropriate and there are no conflicts arises when project implementation actually begins. By the end of the second quarter total JPLG expenditures for 2010 were US$5,212,185 which equates to 33% of the available resources or 28% of the 2010 approved work plans and budgets. 4 UN Joint Programme on Local Governance and Decentralised Service Delivery ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS AA Administrative Agent AWP Annual Work Plan CDRD Community Driven Recovery and Development Project CSZ Central and Southern Somalia Zone CMG Community Monitoring Groups DBF District Basket Fund DBPB District Based Peace Building Project DPPB District Participatory Planning and Budgeting Process DC District Council ILO International Labour Organisation JPLG Joint Programme on Local Governance and Decentralized Service Delivery LDF Local Development Fund LED Local Economic Development LG Local Governments LLM Local Leadership and Management LOA Letter of Agreement MC Minimum Conditions (LDF) M&E Monitoring and Evaluation MOI Ministry of Interior MOF Ministry of Finance MOFASD Ministry of Family Affairs and Social Development (Somaliland) MOSS Minimum Operational Security Standards MOU Memorandum of Understanding MODWFA Ministry of Women Development and Family Affairs (Puntland) NGO Non-Governmental Organisation OES Outcome Evaluation System PCU Programme Coordination Unit of the JPLG PIM Participatory Impact Monitoring PL Puntland PMG JPLG Programme Management Group RC Resident Coordinator RDP Somali Reconstruction and Development Programme RSL Recovery and Sustainable Livelihoods Programme of UNDP SL Somaliland SC South central Somalia SMA Somaliland Municipal Association TFG Transitional Federal Government TOT Training of Trainers TWG JPLG Technical Working Group UN United Nations UNCDF United Nations Capital Development Fund UNDG United Nations Development Group UNDP United Nations Development Programme UN-HABITAT United Nations Human Settlements Programme UNICEF United Nations Children’s Fund UNOPS United Nations Office for Project Services UNTP United Nations Transition Plan for Somalia USD United States Dollar VC Village Committee 5 UN Joint Programme on Local Governance and Decentralised Service Delivery MAP OF JPLG TARGETS 6 UN Joint Programme on Local Governance and Decentralised Service Delivery TABLE OF CONTENTS TOPIC PAGE NUMBER Executive Summary ________________________________________________________________ 3 Abbreviations and Acronyms _________________________________________________________ 5 Map of JPLG Targets _______________________________________________________________

  • Somaliland and South Sudan
    South Sudan and after: rethinking borders and revisiting migration after the referendum 10 June 2011 YASN, University of Leeds What makes Somaliland's case for recognition so different? Michael Walls & Steve Kibble Introduction Somaliland in the northern tip of the Horn of Africa is bounded by Djibouti, Ethiopia, ‘Puntland State’ of north-east Somalia, and Yemen across the Red Sea. The people of Somaliland are ethnic Somali, sharing with other Somalis a common language, religion, Sunni Islam, and a traditional livelihood system based around nomadic pastoralism. Most come from three main ‘clan families’ - the Isaaq, Dir (Gadabursi and 'Iise) and Harti (Warsengeli and Dulbahante) of the Darod clan federation. The Isaaq, the most populous and the politically and economically dominant group, divide into six main sub-lineages. These sub-clans and the dynamic divisions and alliances between them have at times represented critical factions in Somaliland’s politics. Historically Somalis were largely nomadic pastoralists. Customary political affiliation is based on kinship, with economic activity, culture, individual and collective rights and economic security mediated through clan. Entitlement to resources, divisions of labour and authority came through social contract between and among clans (known as heer or xeer). Decision-making was through consensus amongst adult males, with all activity including conflict, subject to widely recognised norms of behaviour. The social structure remains heavily patriarchal despite the presence of highly educated women, many with time spent in the diaspora, involved in politics, civil society and business. After being a British protectorate since 1884, Somaliland became an independent country on June 26, 1960. The rest of present-day Somalia, then administered by Italy, became independent several days later.
