June Urban water dialogue Change in project direction In November 2012, SECIL partners Cooperazione E Sviluppo Onlus (CESVI), Human Relief Foundation, and UN-Habitat, together with the European Union, made two crucial decisions: • Firstly, to drop the programme’s trade, processing, and manufacturing component in favour of a more comprehensive engagement in the other five sectors. As the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the World Bank have confirmed their long-term engagement in this field in south central Somalia, SECIL’s comparatively small engagement was no longer crucial. The freed budget will be used for additional activities in the construction and water sectors to further increase employment and expand economic rehabilitation. • Secondly, to implement SECIL without involvement of the International Labour Organization (ILO), which was responsible for the programme’s trade, processing, and manufacturing component. Some additional activities formerly in the portfolio of the ILO are now being implemented by other SECIL partners. Outlook In the upcoming months Benadir Regional Administration, together with SECIL partners, will implement numerous ongoing and new activities to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable groups in Mogadishu. Initial experiences from the waste collection service will be documented and possible changes and adaptations to improve the service will be identified and put into action. The winners of the children’s painting competition will be nominated and their work exhibited in Mogadishu. A pilot project on the sustainable removal and use of the invasive plant Prosopis juliflora will be started and the preparatory work for the rehabilitation projects finalized. Britta Peters, UN-Habitat The second SECIL Steering Committee meeting in session in Mogadishu on 5 February © UN-Habitat SECIL Steering Committee holds fruitful second meeting The second Steering Committee meeting of the SECIL project took place on 5 February 2013 in Mogadishu, attended by the vice-mayors in charge of Social and Political Affairs and Administration and Finance, the head of the Urban Planning Department, representatives from CESVI, Human Relief Foundation, and the European Union, and five UN-Habitat staff, including the Chief Technical Advisor. The key topic of the presentations and ensuing discussions was the imminent roll-out of the solid waste management system in the four pilot districts of Hamarjajab, Waberi, Hamarweyne, and Shingani. The system will rely on household- and enterprise-based garbage collection and a system of transfer stations, from where refuse will be transported to designated landfills under a public–private partnership arrangement. There will be a one-off clean-up before the system sets in. Jobs will be created through the street-level collection, which will be carried out by trained, medically protected, properly dressed and equipped staff. Households and businesses are supposed to pay an affordable fee for garbage collection. The system design is supported by an extensive baseline and feasibility study and enjoys the full support of the district commissioners. Additional discussions over the following days focused on social infrastructure investments and the refinement of project priorities. Dorothee von Brentano, UN-Habitat 2 SECIL Newsletter March 2013 Bringing economic life back to Mogadishu In order to identify key rehabilitation projects that have the potential to increase employment and stimulate economic activities, SECIL contracted the Norwegian Somali Self-help Organization (NorSom) to conduct an in-depth assessment. The assessment was divided into two phases: Phase 1 – which NorSom, in close collaboration with the Benadir Regional Administration, completed between November 2012 and February 2013 – involved a general assessment of potential projects. Phase 2, completed in mid-March, involves a more detailed assessment of the prioritized projects identified in Phase 1 – 11 projects that have high potential for creating permanent employment and stimulating economic development: Unused cubicles at Ansaloti Market in Hamarjajab © UN-Habitat Project District 1 Slaughterhouse Abdulaziz 2 Hamarweyne Meat Market Hamarweyne 3 Hamarweyne Fish Market Hamarweyne 4 Sinay Market Warta Nabadda 5 Suuq Bacaad Meat Market Yaqshid The collapsed roof of Sinay Market © NorSom 6 Bula Hubey Meat Market Wadajir 7 Ansaloti Market Hamarjajab 8 Beerta Meat Market Waberi 9 Shibis Meat Market Shibis 10 Hand Weaving/Handicraft Hamarweyne Project 11 Grinding Mills Wardhigley, Hamarweyne Vendors at Sinay Market © NorSom On 7 February 2013 representatives of UN-Habitat, Benadir Regional Administration, and NorSom participated in an intensive planning meeting at the administration’s premises in Mogadishu to discuss the above findings. In the presence of the mayor, two of his vice-mayors, and the heads of the Market and Urban Planning Departments, the following seven projects were identified as the most promising: Abdulaziz Slaughterhouse (temporary use only); Hamarweyne Meat Market; Sinay Market; Suuq Bacaad Market; Bula Hubey Market; Ansaloti Market; and the Handicraft Project. Beginning in mid-February, Phase 2 will look at these projects in greater depth by doing the following: • Conducting detailed economic, environmental, and social feasibility studies • Identifying the requirements for technical and structural improvements, including a detailed proposal and cost estimation for rehabilitation • Assessing current administrative/management structures and identifying issues to be improved All projects will be designed to maximize employment opportunities and customers’ access to improved infrastructure, and to stimulate a chain of economic activities. Management structures such as vendors associations or cooperatives will be set up and their capacity built to guarantee sustainable management that, among other tasks, will be responsible for organizing cleaning, maintenance, fees/licences, and comprehensive waste management solutions such as composting. Mohamed Elmi Sabrie and Hölje Haugsjaa, NorSom SECIL Newsletter March 2013 3 Planning and development require spatial knowledge The Mogadishu district mapping under SECIL focuses on the geographic information system-based inventory of public, institutional, and economic infrastructure in all 16 districts of Mogadishu. The project is being implemented as a continuation of the geographic information system (GIS) mapping from 2010/2011, under which a base map and district profiles were developed, including extensive attribute data on public assets (schools, health facilities, markets, institutions, and utility services such as water, electricity, and telecommunications).

  • Article Monitoring Mogadishu
    Article Monitoring Mogadishu Alice Hills University of Leeds, UK [email protected] 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.

  • Somali Republic Ministry of Education, Culture & Higher
    National Education Plan Somali Republic Ministry of Education, Culture & Higher Education National Education Plan. 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.

    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.
