• Improvements in local services, including new roads, schools and clinics

• Laws and agreements that define what local government is and that clearly delineate between local

and central authority, reducing conflict and saving time and money

• Accountable, effective systems for procurement, budgeting, planning and other government

functions

• Increases in tax revenue for local councils brought about by more efficient and transparent

processes and by boosting local business activity

• Better-trained government staff who can operate systems for accountable planning, procurement,

budgeting and service delivery

• Open forums for discussion that allow citizens to take part in decision making, including regularised

community meetings, such as District Development Forums

• Community consultations ensure that more women are involved in planning, bringing new priorities

– such as maternity wards and children’s education – are incorporated into government plans and policies

Despite the current political situation in the country, I believe this leadership position will provide me with the opportunity to continue to serve the people of Somalia in close collaboration with the respective Federal member states – I further established networks and understanding with the key members of the International community having worked with them for more than a decade. I believe that I am in a better position to serve this great nation during these challenging times.

Sincerely,

Roble Mohamed Hussein.

The project is expected to deliver a set of targeted and interlinked economic, social and environmental benefits as well as serve as a model for future replication. It will also promote a set of innovations, together with the local administration and institutions that will help create better living conditions for the IDPs returnees and the host communities. The overall goal of the project is to build social and economic resilience of the targeted communities in Baidoa, reduce their vulnerabilities, promote gender perspectives and resilient livelihoods.

The project will be implemented using the ILO’s Employment Intensive Investment Programme (EIIP) approaches. The EIIP supports countries in the design, formulation, implementation and evaluation of policies and programmes aiming to address unemployment and underemployment through public investment, typically in infrastructure development. Its field programmes rely on employment- intensive and local resource-based approaches for the production of public assets in a range of areas such as road construction and maintenance, irrigation infrastructure, reforestation, and soil conservation. Implementation modalities range from public works programmes where individuals are hired directly, to the contracting of small and medium enterprises. EIIP always works to produce public assets and generate employment in local communities. Overall Technical Coordination of ILO portfolio in the KfW Baidoa Project.
