INTRODUCTION This is the Strategic Plan for the Somali National Local Government Institute (LGI) for the period 2019/2020 – 2021/2022. The LGI is Somalia’s national institution for providing standardized training to local governments in order to enhance local governance and service delivery across the country. It is supported by the United Nations Joint Programme on Local Governance and Service Delivery (UN JPLG)1. The NSLGI was established to institutionalise, coordinate and standardise the various training efforts undertaken by the Federal Government of Somalia (FGoS), Federal Member States (FMS) and the international community in order to promote a coherent approach to local government capacity building across Somalia. It is designed to operate in conformity with Somalia’s federal and decentralised structure, with clear division of labour between the roles and functions of the FGoS, one the one hand, and the Federal Member States, on the other. According to the Somali provisional constitution, local government remains the primary responsibility of Federal Member States. This strategic Plan describes the conceptual framework of the SNLGI; its background, context and situational analysis; its strategic direction for 2019/20 – 2021/2022; its governance and management framework; its financing and implementation strategy; its monitoring and evaluation framework; its anticipated risks and critical success factors; its projected programmes, implementation schedule and results framework; and its transition arrangements, budget and proposed organogram. 1.1 Methodology of Developing the Strategic Plan The Strategic Plan was developed using document review, interviews with key informants from the Federal Government, Federal Member States and UN JPLG. The documents included: 1) Federal Government of Somalia and Federal Members State policy and strategy documents; 2) UN JPLG programme documents; 3) The United National Department for Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) / International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration (IASIA) Standards of Excellence for Public Administration Education and Training (February 2008); and 4) Reports of mapping and capacity assessment of potential training providers in the Federal Members States of Puntalnd, Jubbaland, South West and Hirshabelle that were conducted from 2016 to 2019. The draft strategic plan was presented to key MOIFAR officials for comments after which the final version was prepared. 1 The UN JPLG

    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.

  • Agulhas and Somali Currents Large Marine Ecosystems Project
    Agulhas and Somali Currents Large Marine Ecosystems Project Capacity Building and Training Component National Training Plan for SOMALIA Prepared by: Mr. Hassan Mohamud Nur 1) Summary of key training requirements a) Skill training for fishers. b) To strength the scientific and management expertise c) To introduce an ecosystem approach to managing the living marine resources d) To enhance the local and international markets. e) To secure processing systems f) To upgrade environmental awareness and waste management and marine pollution control g) To create linkages between the local community and the international agencies 2) introduction: Somalia has 3,333Km of coast line of which 2,000Km is in the Indian Ocean south of Cape Guardafui and 1,333Km of north shore of Gulf of Aden. Surveys indicate high potential for fisheries development with evenly distributed fish stocks along the entire coastline, but with greater concentration in the Northeast. The fishing seasons are governed by two monsoon winds, the south west monsoon during June to September and northeast monsoon during December to March and two inter-monsoon periods during April/May and October/November. In the case of Somalia, for the last two decades the number of people engaged in fisheries has increased from both the public and private sector. Although, the marine fisheries potential is one of the main natural resources available to the Somali people, there is a great need to revive the fisheries sector and rebuild the public and private sector in order to promote the livelihood of the Somali fishermen and their families. 3) Inventory of current educational Capacity Somalia has an increasing number of elementary and intermediate schools, beside a number of secondary and a handful of universities.

  • SOMALIA Combined, Actions by Non-State Armed Groups and Local Clan Conflicts Led to More Than 600 Attacks on Education, Mostly in Central and Southern Somalia
    Global Coalition EDUCATION UNDER ATTACK GCPEA to Protect Education from Attack COUNTRY PROFILES SOMALIA Combined, actions by non-state armed groups and local clan conflicts led to more than 600 attacks on education, mostly in central and southern Somalia. This included attacks on schools, targeted killings, abductions, and abuse of students and educators, and military use of schools. At least 15 incidents affected higher education, mostly targeted killings of students and professors, and bombing of universities. Context By 2017, civil conflict had wracked Somalia for more than two decades. In 2012, Somali government troops, an allied non-state armed group, Ethiopian forces, and African Union forces regained control over parts of the country, including the capital city of Mogadishu, having taken it back from the Islamic Courts Union, a coalition of Sharia courts that as - sumed authority in 2006. 1832 However, Somalia faced continued insecurity and conflict between government forces and an al Qaeda-affiliated ex - tremist group, the Harakat al-Shabaab al-Mujahedeen, known as al-Shabaab, which splintered off from the former Shariah coalition. Al-Shabaab aimed to build an Islamic state by using violence against the Somali government, its in - stitutions, and other groups of people perceived to be affiliated with the government, including schools, foreigners, members of the Somali diaspora, and Western countries and organizations. 1833 In 2017, a newly elected government in - tensified military operations against al-Shabaab. 1834 Insecurity due to armed conflict negatively affected education across the country. Somalia’s enrollment rates were some of the lowest in the world and were even lower in the most insecure areas.

    Knowledge institutions in Africa and their development 1960-2020: Somalia and Somaliland Knowledge Institutions in Africa and their development 1960-2020 Somalia and Somaliland Introduction This report about the development of the knowledge institutions in Somalia (including Somaliland) was made as part of the preparations for the AfricaKnows! Conference (2 December 2020- late February 2021) in Leiden, and elsewhere, see www.africaknows.eu. Reports like these can never be complete, and there might also be mistakes. Additions and corrections are welcome! Please send those to [email protected] Highlights (and dark spots) 1 Somalia’s population has increased from 2.3 million at Independence in 1960, via 8.7 million in 2006, to 15.7 million in 2020. Ca 4 million of these inhabitants live in autonomous Somaliland, and ca 1 million in autonomous Puntland. 2 Somalia’s adult literacy rate is one of the lowest in the world (38% on average), and particularly for women (only 25%). The mean years of schooling for adults increased from 2.0 in 2006 to 5.1 in 2018, as a result of investments in education before the civil wars. 3 School attendance is very low: only 30% for primary schools (and only 18% for primary schools in the rural areas); in some areas the turmoil has created the complete collapse of the education system, but probably with the exception of koranic schools for boys. The expected years of schooling for children collapsed from 7.7 years in 2006, via 3.8 years in 2010 to only 1.9 years in 2018, probably the lowest in the world.

  • Learning from Somalia and Ethiopia – the NREN As a Tool for Building National Expertise: a Co-Authorship Between Somaliren and the World Bank
    Learning from Somalia and Ethiopia – the NREN as a tool for Building National Expertise: A co-authorship between SomaliREN and the World Bank Rachel FIRESTONE1, Abdullahi Bihi HUSSEIN2 1SomaliREN Secretariat, Industrial Road, Warta Nabadda, Mogadishu Tel. +252619600611; Email: [email protected], 2The World Bank, 1818 H Street NW, Washington D.C, USA 20433 Tel. +12024589821, Email. [email protected] Abstract: Countries in the process of developing their ICT ecosystem often face the challenge of end users lacking the skills and information necessary for using the new technological service to its full capacity. States recovering from conflict and emerging out of long periods of isolation tend to experience this imbalance in infrastructure and soft-skill development even more poignantly as they work to expand many services and sectors concurrently. Somalia is a good example of this as its national technical capacity is too nascent to deploy national Research and Education (NREN) infrastructure without importing external expertise. Yet past development experience in-country also demonstrates that reliance on outside expertise can underemphasize local knowledge development and result in institution ill prepared to avail of the technology at their disposal at development project completion. This paper takes a comparative analysis of NREN and education-based technology project experiences in Somalia and Ethiopia aims to explore how an NREN can not only avoid this pitfall, but how the unique services it can provide in addition to connectivity can act as a tool to building out the technical skillsets necessary to support a vibrant ICT sector and competitive developments in the STEM professions across the board.
