  • Article Monitoring Mogadishu
    Article Monitoring Mogadishu Alice Hills University of Leeds, UK a.e.hills@leeds.ac.uk Abstract Technology-based surveillance practices have changed the modes of policing found in the global North but have yet to influence police–citizen engagement in Southern cities such as Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. Based on the role played by monitoring in Mogadishu’s formal security plan and in an informal neighbourhood watch scheme in Waberi district, this article uses a policy- oriented approach to generate insight into surveillance and policing in a fragile and seemingly dysfunctional environment. It shows that while watching is an integral aspect of everyday life, sophisticated technologies capable of digitally capturing real-time events play no part in crime reporting or in the monitoring of terrorist threats, and information is delivered by using basic and inclusive methods such as word of mouth, rather than by mobile telephones or social media. Indeed, the availability of technologies such as CCTV has actually resulted in the reproduction and reinforcement of older models of policing; even when the need to monitor security threats encourages residents to engage with the task of policing, their responses reflect local preferences and legacy issues dating from the 1970s and 2000s. In other words, policing practice has not been reconfigured. In Mogadishu, as in most of the world, the policing task is shaped as much by residents’ expectations as by the technologies available. Introduction It is often assumed that the use of technologies capable of monitoring or capturing real-time events enables people to become more engaged in surveillance and policing.

May 2011 1 National Education Plan Preface The collapse of central government of Somalia in 1991 and the civil war that erupted and the continues foreign intervention has caused total destruction of national institution especially those who were providing services to our citizen like health, education, water ad electricity institutions. The destruction has affected the economics of the country both Public and private properties. The country has became a place where there is no law and order and insecurity prevailed and killing, looting and displacement has become day to day with the live of Somalis. The ministry of education, culture and higher education and its department was among the sectors that were spared that resulted total closure of all offices and centers that was dealing with education services and most of education staffs left the country as refugees. It was early 1992, when Somali educationalists regrouped again to revive the education sector of the country to provide the education service that our people used to get from the national education institution that was not functioning at all. Education umbrellas, privately owned school, colleges and higher education institutions have been established to cover the services that the ministry of education was providing to the people before 1991. But again this effort could not provide quality free education throughout the country. The role of the international and local organization towards the education sector of Somalia together with the support of citizens has made the sector with little improved.

  • CHF 1St Allocation Tri-Cluster.Pdf
    WASH Coord & Plan Shelter Health CHF First Allocation Tri Cluster Strategy – IDP settlement response, Mogadishu 1. Introduction At the CHF board meeting on 17th February 2012, $10.75 million was allocated for a tri-cluster response to address IDPs. More specifically the objectives of the funding were: i. improve living conditions of secondary displaced populations in Mogadishu, ii. respond to needs of newly displaced in Mogadishu and other priority areas, iii. mainstream protection and encourage protection based programming in all programmes focusing on IDPs. The Shelter/NFI, Health and WASH Clusters wrote a broad strategy which set-out how these objectives would be achieved and how the funding was divided between the Clusters. The CHF board accepted the strategy and so this follow-up paper attempts to operationalise the Tri-Cluster Strategy.1 On the 7th May 2012, representatives of the three Clusters met with Tri-Cluster partners and stakeholders to discuss the strategy and how it would practically work on the ground.2 There were a number of issues raised which this paper will address. The launch of the strategy on 20th June 2012 raised another set of concerns and issues. These have been addressed and consolidated in the 10 working principles of the tri-cluster, attached at the end of this document. 2. Coordination and Management The day-to-day management of the projects will be by the partners and reporting lines through the CHF will be maintained. However, as there are 14 partners and 16 projects and considering the challenging nature of Mogadishu to enhance the impact, a Tri-Cluster Coordinator (TCC) and Tri-Cluster Settlement Planner (TCSP) have been recruited3.
