Background:

Under the Urban Development Programme for the Somali Region, fully fledged municipal finance training was started in Somaliland. In the first phase, the municipal staff mastered the basic concepts of accrual accounting, budget formulation, and revenue maximization, while the second phase elaborated on this through practical on-the-job training.

An assessment of municipal finance training needs was done in Puntland, which also underwent the two phases of training. As most municipal staff in Somaliland and Puntland are now conversant with basic finance methods, the next step is to introduce a more advanced software package.
