Under the UN Joint Programme on Local Governance and Decentralized Service Delivery, an Agreement of Cooperation was signed in January between UN-Habitat and KAALO Relief and Development Affairs to conduct a property survey in Gardho, Puntland. The main objective is to develop an urban land information system for the improvement of property taxation and to support urban planning and development in Gardho with more accurate and updated information.
Another Agreement of Cooperation was signed in January between UN-Habitat and Puntland’s Ministry of Women Development and Family Affairs. The agreement provides for training 30 to 35 local council members and selected community leaders from Bossaso and Jiriban on gender and the involvement of women in local governance – thus promoting gender sensitive, accountable, and transparent governance. |
