UK, Denmark and Netherlands approve agreements with Somaliland Government on critical infrastructure to improve people’s lives


The new agreements, supporting projects on roads, agricultural systems, water facilities and fisheries, will spur economic growth, helping to support a secure and prosperous Somaliland
Under Phase II of the Somaliland Development Fund (SDF2) programme, the UK, Denmark and the Netherlands have approved four agreements with the Somaliland Government to improve critical infrastructure to support economic growth. These projects were prioritised by Phase II of the Government of Somaliland’s National Development Plan, and will improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of people across Somaliland. The new agreements, supporting projects on roads, agricultural facilities, water systems and fisheries will spur economic growth benefitting the region and helping contribute towards a stable, peaceful and resilient Somaliland while improving its resilience to future pandemics through enhanced water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure.
These projects include:

Project 1:Rebuilding of Burao–Sheikh-Berbera road in Togdheer and Sahil regions

The rebuilding of the Burao to Berbera road will include 82km of full asphalt concrete overlay, the resurfacing of bridges and renewal of drainage systems. Improving connectivity between Somaliland’s port and its second largest city will reduce travel time and costs benefiting the 50,000 members of the public who use this road regularly and contributing to economic development by enhancing service delivery and boosting trade, particularly in the livestock, agriculture, and fishery sectors.
Project 2:Sustainable land management in Awdal and Maroodijeh regions:
The project will improve the agricultural production of small farmers through soil and water conservation, research, extension and farmer training. This project will target the agricultural areas of Durdur Ad Upper Catchment in Awdal and Maroodijeh Upper Catchment in Maroodijeh.

Project 3: Support to the Hargeisa Water Agency, supplying water to the people of Hargeisa.

The SDF2 will continue its support to the Hargeisa Water Agency (HWA), which supplies clean water to the people of Hargeisa. This project will allow HWA to extract an additional 4,000 m3 of water each day from Laasdhure aquifer. This project will increase the water available in Hargeisa by more than 20%, to 23,000m3 per day – enough to meet the needs of an additional 200,000 people.

Project 4: Construction of Maydh fishing jetty in the Sanaag region:

The Maydh Jetty will improve interconnectivity by sea between Berbera and the 750,000 people living in the hinterland of Sanaag and parts of Togdheer, spurring regional economic growth as well as facilitating the transport of fish to markets. This support will boost food security, employment and incomes.

Somaliland international partners urge political stakeholders to agree on a timely roadmap election.

  For the first time ever, Somaliland's foreign allies have officially spoken out against the extension of President Bihi's tenure by the house of elders by two years. The international partners emphasized the significance of a consensus-driven process that enables elections to be held as soon as possible in a manner consistent with the technical considerations laid out by Somaliland's National Electoral Commission, without specifically stating whether or not the mandate extension was appropriate. In a statement, they urged the political stakeholders to work together constructively to agree on a timely roadmap for the elections for Somaliland’s democratic credibility and stability. The declaration was made only a few days after opposition parties explicitly criticized the house of elders' decision to extend President Bihi's term by two years and stated they would no longer accept him as "a legitimate president" when his term ends on November 13. a
