Somalia, 5 Oct 11
Following the earthquake and tsunami on 11 March of this year, the UN-HABITAT Somalia Programme responded by gathering contributions from programme staff as well as beneficiaries of Japan-funded projects over the years. Donations came in from Hargeisa, Garowe, Bossaso, Galkayo, and the head office in Nairobi. Residents of Hargeisa’s Ayaha settlement in particular sent their contributions together with heartfelt condolences and deep appreciation for the assistance Japan has given them. The Mayor of Hargeisa, Husein Mohamoud Jiciir, and the Mayor of Garowe, Abdiaziz Nur Elmi Koor, sent condolence letters to the Government of Japan via the country’s representative in Kenya, Ambassador Toshihisa Takata. |

Somalia, 5 Oct 11
Following the UN-HABITAT Global Land Tool Network’s 2010 launch of a formal training package on land, property, and housing rights in the Muslim world, the UN-HABITAT Somalia Programme held a training of trainers from 4 to 8 April 2011 in Nairobi. Siraj Sait, a main contributing author of the training package, conducted the training for staff from Somaliland, Puntland, and Nairobi. Examining actual land cases from Somalia and other countries, the training course targets trainers in the land sector who can then disseminate key land administration concepts in Somalia. Training for local authorities will be carried out in the last quarter of 2011. |
