closed

The development objective of the Urban Investment Planning Project for Somali is to provide: (i) an assessment of the feasibility of, and preliminary plans for, selected urban investment, and institutional strengthening activities in southern Somalia, Puntland, and Somaliland, and (ii) enhanced project preparation and implementation capacity of participating agencies. The project comprises of four components. The first component is Mogadishu. For the secondary and community roads, the activities will focus on a dialogue with communities to determine the priority works to be undertaken in each of the 17 districts in Mogadishu, to determine optimum implementation modalities, and provide cost estimates. The second component is Garowe. At the institutional level, an assessment will be undertaken of the Garowe Municipality (GM) in order to provide an informational and analytic foundation for the detailed preparation and execution of institutional strengthening activities that will be undertaken under the Somali Urban Development Project (SUDP). The third component is Hargeisa. At the institutional level, assessments will be undertaken of the Hargeisa Municipality (HM) and the Hargeisa Water Agency (HWA) in order to provide an informational and analytic foundation for the detailed preparation and execution of institutional strengthening activities that will be undertaken under the SUDP. The fourth component is cross-cutting activities. It consists of following sub-components: (i) local development fund; (ii) cross-cutting studies; (iii) financial audit; and (iv) implementation enhancements to mitigate security and operational risks.
