Introduction
Six years to the 2015 deadline, progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is still lagging behind in
many developing countries. No other country in the world would perhaps experience as low progress on the MDGs as
Somalia which is still at a crossroads facing high economic cost resulting from almost two decades of civil strife and
absence of functioning central government. As much as the resilience of the Somali population, the economy is
dependent heavily on remittances from the large Diaspora community spread all over the world, together with foreign
aid which is predominantly directed to emergency relief rather than development. The lack of meaningful
socio-economic data precludes assessment against targets and is the cause of Somalia’s omission from the UN Human
Development Index. Where information is available, the indicators rank Somalia as amongst the worst in the world.
The international community has been supporting the government of Somalia using the Reconstruction and
Development Plan (RDP) and the UNTP as the frameworks for development. However, these interventions have
remained scattered due to limited resources and weak monitoring and evaluation systems and more importantly the
absence of an overarching framework has stalled harmonization and integration of community-based initiatives to
achieve maximum impact on the ground taking full advantage of the synergies that exist within and between
programmes. While the MDGs are reflected in outcome 3 of RDP and outcome 2 of the UN Somali Assistance Strategy
(UNSAS), the centrality of MDG based outcomes has only recently been recognized and well reflected in all the four
outcomes of the new country programme document (CPD) of UNDP for 2011-15.
Realizing the need to accelerate and sustain the progress on the MDGs, the Human Development and Economic Unit
(HDEU) of UNDP has initiated MDG-based planning and programming support to the three zonal administrations in
Somalia in response to the request from the government to help them to formulate and implement MDG-based national
development strategies. Central to the attainment of the goals is the vital role of the quality policy making capacity of
the government in setting priorities and policies, and in creating enabling environment for enlisting participation of all
stakeholders to bring about change – a change that brings about values of prosperity, equity and social justice as the
desired outcome of human development. This underscores the importance of supporting capacity development needs of
senior government officials and their popular participation as an essential first steps in devising successful strategy in
the pursuit of the MDGs.
Against this backdrop, the Human Development and Economic Unit (HDEU) of UNDP Somalia organized a 12-day
long training workshop on “Capacity Development for MDG-Based Planning and Reporting” in Kampala, Uganda
from 29 May to 10 June, 2010 by bringing together 36 senior government officials representing various ministries and
departments from Somaliland, Puntland and TFG administrations. The resource persons were drawn from UNESCO,
UNICEF, UNFPA, UNDP and the UNDP RBAS, Regional Center in Cairo to cover all the eight goals and the relevant
targets and indicators in 24 technical sessions structured over the workshop period. The detailed program agenda
showing different sessions and topics covered in the workshop and the list of participants are provided in Annex 1.1 and
1.2.
The overall objective of the workshop was to support the capacity development needs of Somali administrations for the
MDG-based medium and long-term planning, implementation and monitoring, reporting and evaluation for effective
and sustainable poverty reduction and human development. More specifically, it was intended to provide the
participants with the necessary skills and tools to gain a better understanding of the concept and tools and enable them
track, monitor and report progress on MDGs as well as methodologies for designing Somali contextualized MDG-based
development plans.
Overall, the workshop was a success and remained highly fruitful in many respects. The workshop provided the
opportunity for a rich discussion and interactions among resources experts and participants about ways in which MDGs
based participatory planning processes can be promoted and how they can contribute to faster achievement of the
MDGs on hunger, health, education, gender equality, environmentally sustainable development and so on. It has helped
to build the capacity of participants in identification of baseline data; need assessment, costing and trend analysis using
excel and capacity diagnostics including the assessment of constraints and possible policy options. In addition the
workshop also provided a unique opportunity to present and receive feedbacks on the conceptual framework, survey
instrument and working outline of the forthcoming Somalia Human Development Report. Apart from developing
capacities of participants for MDG based planning and reporting, the workshop was also instrumental in fostering open
dialogue, networking and partnerships as an essential step toward reconciliation process given the attendance of
participants from all administrative regions, mutual exchanges of views and experiences among them and formal
interactions during breaks and after hours which is further reflected in evaluation forms submitted by participants at the
end of the workshop.
This report is a documentation of the summary highlights of the workshop. The sections are organized by each day of
the event, and summarize the main points from the speakers’ presentations as well as the key issues and options
emerging from the group discussion and presentation.
Day 1 of the Workshop (30 May, 2010)
Opening Session
Mr. Sriram Pande, Senior Economist and Head of Human Development and Economics Unit (HDEU), UNDP
Somalia, marked the opening of the workshop with a welcome address. He thanked the participants for their presence at
the event and wished them a fruitful learning experience. In setting the theme of the workshop, he underscored the
importance of capacity development of senior government officials in the concepts and operational planning tools for
devising successful strategies in achieving the MDGs. After highlighting the purpose and overall structure of the 12-day
program, Mr. Pande in his opening remarks pointed to some pertinent issues to guide the workshop participants namely:
1) the active participation and significant contribution of participants to sharing the key constraints and opportunities for
localization of the MDGs in Somalia context; 2) the workshop is purely a technical forum for intensive interactions on
technical issues rather than the political one, 3) the final outcome is to come up with the mutually agreed action plan for
MDG based planning process with strong involvement of the government in facilitating processes. This was followed
by self introduction of the participants and technical session on a thematic presentation of the workshop.
Session I: MDGs and Human Development
Mr. Sriram Pande, Senior Economist of HDEU/UNDP Somalia delivered a thematic presentation on the conceptual
link between MDGs and human development noting that MDGs are the roadmap for the ultimate purpose of people’s
lives- the human development. He stated that basic purpose of development is to enlarge people choices by building
their capabilities and creating opportunities for people to enjoy long, healthy and creative lives. He further stated that no
other development theories fall outside the human development paradigm which is about creating an environment in
which people can develop their full potential and lead healthy, productive and creative lives in accordance with their
needs and interests. The central issues in human development noted during the presentation were; social progress, pro
poor economic growth, efficiency, equity, participation and freedom, empowerment, democratic governance, civil and
political rights, and cultural liberty, sustainability and human security. He stressed that addressing these issues will not
be possible without placing the MDGs at the heart of national development strategies and that MDGs targets must
reflect the country reality through wide stakeholders’ participation. He further underscored the importance of
localization of MDGs and its underlying principles of creating and supporting enabling conditions for community led
process. Mr. Pande closed his thematic presentation by posing the four central questions to the workshop participants
that are deemed important in pursuing MDG based national development strategies.
•
How can the MDGs be translated into operational targets?
•
How can sector strategies based on the MDGs be integrated into the PRSP/national development strategy?
•
How would the MTEF and annual budgeting processes need to change to reflect the country’s commitment to
the MDGs?
•
How to develop capacity of governments in preparing and implementing MDG strategies?
Session 2: Somalia Human Development Report: Approach and Method
Following the thematic presentation, the remaining two sessions of the first day were devoted to familiarize the
participants with the youth empowerment as the central theme of the upcoming Somalia Human Development Report
(HDR) and to receive feedbacks on the approach and method adopted.
Mr. Sriram Pande, Senior economist and Head of HDEU/UNDP presented the basic thrust and overall conceptual
framework for empowering youth to harness their power and potential for peace and sustainable development.
Highlighting the rationale for the rational for choosing youth as the central theme of the HDR, he stated that too often,
young people around the world are seen as victims and/or perpetrators of violent conflict, yet their power and potential
to act as positive agents of change and key actors in peace and development are poorly recognized and rarely harnessed.
He went on to mention the limitation of existing three dominant approaches towards youth: rights-based approach that
seeks to convert youth from victim to social actor, economic approach that aim to convert youth form exploitable
resources to economic actor, and socio-political approach that seeks to concert youth form spoiler to peace builders.
Instead of taking such partial approach, he stressed the need for a holistic perspective towards youth to harness the full
potential of youth as multiple actors in the upcoming HDR. He also pointed to the need for conflict transformation
approach as a powerful approach rooted on the principle of local empowerment and recognition in contrast to prevailing
conflict management approaches that are outcome oriented without addressing the root causes. He then elaborated the
overall conceptual framework with the help of schematic diagram demonstrating how harmonization of three
dimensions of empowerment (social, economic and political) is critical to harnessing the full power and potential of
youth as an entry point for conflict transformation, peace building and development process.
Session III: Data Needs for HDR and Survey instruments
Mr. Bikash Sharma, HDR specialist of HDEU/UNDP-Somalia highlighted the set of survey instruments designed for
conducting survey including the data needs for calculating human development indices and hoped to receive valuable
feedbacks for its finalization. He outlined the conceptual basis and key features of youth survey questionnaire as well as
the set of checklists designed for focus group discussion (separately for young men and women) and key informant
interview (with government officials, religious leaders, civil society /NGOs, business community and academia). He
stated that while the youth survey questionnaires is designed to capture the youth asset and opportunity structure ( two
crucial aspects of empowerment), checklists are designed to capture existing barriers and opportunities for empowering
and engaging youth for peace building and inclusive development. To illustrate how youth can be empowered to play
the role as economic actor, he cited employability, equal opportunities; entrepreneurship and employment creation as
some possible guiding principles. Mr. Sharma concluded his presentation by requesting the participants to form three
working groups each representing Puntland, Somaliland and TFG of Somalia administrations in order to discuss the key
issues contained in the checklist and come up with their findings during the group presentation. Group work continued
till the end of the day and the presentation was made in the early session of the second day where many valuable
insights and recommendations emerging from group presentation were highly fruitful for shaping the HDR survey
research.
Day 2 of the Workshop (31 May, 2010)
Session I: Guidelines on Country Progress Reporting on MDGs
Dr. Abdelhameed Nawar of UNDP/RCC presented the standard guidelines to be followed for country progress reporting
on MDGs. In so doing, he first gave the detailed account of the 8 goals with 21 targets and 60 indicators in the MDGs
and how they are interlinked. He stressed that although interventions in any MDG are complementary and mutually
reinforcing, it becomes important to identify the key entry point of intervention to have the maximum impact given the
resource constraint. In consistence with the Second Guidance note on country progress reporting on the MDGs, he
explained that the guidelines for MDG country progress reporting must include 1) introduction ( brief explanation of
how the report/review was prepared); 2)country-specific development context including achievements, enablers and
challenges (dealing with trends of progress against each MDG target between 1990 and the latest year, inequality
analysis, identification of the key implementation bottlenecks, new challenges with unanticipated consequences for the
MDGs and best practice contributing towards accelerated progress on a specific MDG target) and 3) a table or Status
at a Glance summarizing the feasibility of meeting targets and the state of national support. He further stated that proper
understanding of what went wrong with policy interventions and what needs to be done to be back on track is crucial for
improving development effectiveness. Following the presentation, intensive discussions were held where participants
shared their views on the contrasts and challenges for country progress reporting on each goal and target.
Dr. Abdel-Hameed Nawar and Khalid Abu Ismail took the remaining session on discussion and hands-on exercises
dealing with Goals 2 to 6 on Education, Gender and Health.
Day 3 of the Workshop (1 June, 2010) MDG Progress Reporting
Session I: Approach to MDG based planning and budgeting
Mr. Sriram Pande, Senior Economist of UNDP Somalia delivered a thematic presentation on approach to MDG based
planning and budgeting with a view to setting the context and overall direction for sub subsequent sessions. Key topics
covered in his presentation included institutional set up for preparing MDG based development plan, guiding principles,
steps, methodology and tools for MDG need assessment, macro framework for MDG based plan, MDGs consistent
financing strategy, linking MDG based planning with MTEF and key policy Issues. He elaborated the 5 key steps for
preparing MDG based Development Strategy and stressed the importance of macro framework to link the investments
estimated through MDG need assessment & costing to estimate the implied economic growth rate and its distribution to
be achieved by investing in MDG related areas and to develop comprehensive MDG financing strategy. He stressed that
the MDG based long term development strategy should be broken down into medium term plans and expenditure
frameworks in order to translating the Plans into annual budgets and properly assuring resources for MDG investments.
Finally his raised a number of key challenges and issues associated with integrating MDG NA into long term plans and
strategies, capacity building needs, mainstreaming gender and environment in all the relevant sector, integrating
existing sector strategy, plan and programs into the MDG NA based plan or strategy, developing synergy among all
development partners to help the country to prepare MDG and forging partnerships among political parties,
government, donors, CSOs, media and the private sector, monitor progress to make the government and other
development actors accountable and regional cooperation
Group Discussions and Hands-on Exercise Session (Goal 2 to 8)
In each day there were four training sessions. Each training session covered the goal, its target, and its indicators;
discussing the metadata of the indicators, trend analysis for indicators under targets with attainable levels; relating the
story behind numbers, indicating the enhancing factors, bottlenecks and constraints as well as needed policy
interventions. Examples of actual MDG Country Reports were reviewed. Two-way discussions were very fruitful in
bringing together ideas on the MDG as well as supporting indicators considering the special case of Somali using the
Needs Assessments (NA) methodologies with Excel application tool developed by the Millennium Project
Day 4 of the Workshop (2 June, 2010)
Group Discussions and Hands-on Exercise Session (Goal 2 to 8)
Dr. Abdelhameed Nawar and Khalid, UNDP/RCC engaged the participants for the whole days in identifying the key
issues and possible options associated with health, education, gender and environment and market access and ICT (goal
2 to 8). Group discussion and presentation exercise was useful to understand the general situation of each sector, major
policy issues, data gaps and priority areas of intervention. This was followed by hands–on exercise. For this, trainees
from each zone were divided into three thematic groups: Education and Gender (MDG 2, 3); Health (MDG 4, 5 & 6);
and Environment (ODA Trade and ICT). Each group was asked to give the Zonal level MDG indicator, carry out a
trend analysis for indicators with attainable levels, explain why it is so (relate the story); discuss the challenges and
what constrains the progress and identify suitable policy interventions.
Day 5 of the Workshop (3 June): Education
Session I: Challenges and Opportunities in Achieving Universal Primary Education
Mr. Mathias Rwehera, Education Advisor of UNESCO, contributed to imparting a rigorous training on Goal 2
1
(achieving universal primary education) using Education Policy and Strategy Simulation (EPSSIM) . After describing the
major challenges and opportunities for achieving universal primary education, he introduced and presented the detailed
structure of the simulation model as a tool for analyzing, exploring and projecting complex social and economic systems in
education planning to enhance knowledge about the operation of education systems, to explore the future, to design policies
and strategies and to estimate resource implications. He demonstrated how the model is disaggregated by gender; type and
mode of education, level of education, field of study for higher education, category of inputs and their costing for the plan
period and how it proposes a number of exercises, modules and utilities on educational planning and policy simulation. He
noted some limitations of the model as it cannot handle qualitative elements (e.g., teachers’ motivation) and is limited by data
availability. He concluded his presentation by stressing that it is a generic, simulation model that needs to be customized
according to the country specific need and priority.
During the discussion, when asked whether UNESCO recommends a standard teacher to pupil ratio, it was made clear
that a small ratio is better but there is no universally accepted standard ratio as it varies from country to country.
UNESCO does not influence on how teachers are posted but only supports good policies and learning environment but
experience shows that poor decentralization is responsible for variation in teacher to pupil ratio across Africa with the
teacher to pupil ratio currently being 1:45. Participants were then trained on practical simulation model exercise using
excel spread sheet on need assessment and costing.
Day 6 of the Workshop (5 June): Poverty Assessment
Session II: Income and Human Poverty Assessment
Dr. Heba El Laithy and Khalid Abu-Ismail of UNDP/RCC made a presentation on the concept and measurement of
both income and human poverty required to monitor progress towards Goal 1. After explaining the concept of different
income poverty measures such as headcount, poverty gap and severity of poverty, Dr. Laithy noted that poverty being a
multi-dimension concept can be seen as a state of lack of economic, political and social assets, as well as personal skills.
She also pointed that the concept of human
1 EPSSim was designed in 2001 by UNESCO to support national education systems in the formulation of credible
education sector plans and later improved further in collaboration with UNDP and UNICEF for use as a UN education
support tool.
poverty sees the lack of adequate income as an important factor in human deprivation. She explained a number of issues
associated with the measurement of income poverty. First, expenditure survey data used to measure poverty (generally
considered superior to income survey) may differ according to the unit of observation i.e. household/individual, number
of observations over time i.e. cross-section/panel and living standards indicator
i.e. consumption/income. Second, while international Poverty Line ( 1$ and 2$ ) provides the basis for uniform
standard for measuring poverty across countries, it does not take into account the difference in living standards and
prices in different regions within a country as well as the different needs of individuals according to their age and
gender. Third, even though the purchasing power parity (PPP) is calculated on the basis of a basket of food and
non-food items, the basket may not reflect the actual consumption pattern of the poor.
During the open forum discussion, participants made a remark that the notion of poverty is far more complex than what
is currently measured as it also relates to subjective perception of lives which is not direly measurable. Some people
may consider themselves as poor even if they have enough income and vice versa. Finally, participants were then
trained on ADePT system to measure and compare poverty profiles using Yemen survey data for 1998 and 2006.
Day 7 of the Workshop (6 June): Health
Session I: Maternal Health
Dr. Wilfred Ochan of UNFPA-Uganda made presentation on maternal health (Goal 5) using experience and lessons
from Uganda program. He said that maternal health is associated with suffering, ill-health and even death during
pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period with the major causes of maternal morbidity and mortality being
hemorrhage, infection, high blood pressure, unsafe abortion, and obstructed labor. It was noted that maternal health
outcomes were influenced by factors outside the health sector such as household income, education, water and
sanitation, food, law enforcement, roads and road safety. Failing health care delivery system, failing education for the
girl child, failing women empowerment, and over sex due to electricity problem in the rural areas were identified as the
causes of high fertility. The other issues mentioned during the presentation are poor ANC performance due to unskilled
midwife attending to every birth and poor functional health system/facilities. Dr. Ochan noted both supply side and
2
demand side bottlenecks in meeting maternal health service and stressed the need for supportive policies and plans such as
the 5-Year RHCS strategic plan, family planning advocacy, adolescent health and child survival strategy, national obstetrics
fistula strategy, food and nutrition policy, universal access to treatment for HIV/AIDS.
During group discussion, participants cited early marriage with rampant cases of FGM and teenage pregnancies as a big
problem in Somalia due to huge contradiction between the Sharia law and the secular law on the issues of early
marriage and teenage pregnancies. Participants from Somaliland reported the high maternal mortality rate of
1044/100,000 with only 20% of maternal cases being attended by skilled birth attendant and 90% of the women
under-going the severe form of FGM. Participants from Puntland however shared that FGM Policy is under review in
the Ministry of Women and there has been awareness campaign on FGM and discouraging early marriage. Overall it
was suggested that addressing all these problems calls for effective national policy and programs focusing on training of
qualified midwives and health personnel and maternal health education programme including awareness raising on
reproductive health, FGM and early marriage, increase access and coverage of basic and comprehensive emergency
obstetric care services, ANC and PNC services coverage.
2 The supply side bottlenecks are the lack of all HCs not able to provide services as expected, incomplete infrastructure (HCI,
HCII, HCIII, HCIV, hospital, RRH, NRTH), electricity, accommodation and etc, inadequate functional equipment, inadequate
and erratic supplies and commodities, inadequate number, quality and motivation of human resource for health. The demand
side bottlenecks include; physical access, financial access, cultural norms and social influence and high unmet needs.
Day 8 of the Workshop (7 June): Water and Sanitation
Session I: Progress towards Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in East and Central Africa Region
Mr. David Delienne of UNICEF regional centre made the first presentation on the progress towards Water, Sanitation
and Hygiene (WASH) taking the experience from east and central African region. At the outset, he demonstrated how
water and sanitation contribute to MDGs goal 1 through 6. He said that Somalia is one of the sixteen countries
remaining off track on achieving this goal with only four countries that are on track (South Africa, Rwanda, Angola and
Botswana). According to Mr. Delienne, accelerating WASH requires investments in rural, town and urban water
supply and sanitation linking it to PRSP and DRSP and supporting institutional capacity development. He introduced
the concept of UNICEF Community Approaches to Total Sanitation (CATS) to eliminate open defecation in
communities around the world following the principle of school-led and community led total sanitation (CLTS).
UNICEF has set up a number of models in addressing WASH that included child friendly schools with good sanitation.
During the open forum discussion, one participant asked whether CLTS approach is suitable to Somalia dominated by
nomadic population and how UNICEF can support in such environment. In response, it was made clear that CLTS
approach needs to be customized to specific country context where UNICEF can provide technical and financial support
to promote the community driven participatory approach. Although densely populated areas are generally selected for
the implementation of CLTS, he informed that UNICEF supports for WASH in Somalia will be explained in the next
presentation.
Session II: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector in Somalia
Mr. Zaid Jurji, Chief, WATSAN, UNICEF delivered the presentation on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
sector in Somalia noting that community-based rural water project is benefitting about 164 thousand beneficiaries. The
programme is based Public-Private Partnership approach which has translated water and sanitation policies into
operational strategies, laws and standards to regulate and improve the efficiency of the sector and enhanced private
sector participation in water and sanitation service delivery in the preparation of legislative frameworks and
encouraging Private-Public Partnership (PPP) initiatives for efficient management.
Zaid Jurji and David Delienne of UNICEF then focused their presentation on Public Private Partnerships (PPP) in
Somalia and indicated that how this has led to innovative ways for sustainable provision of safe water supply after the
public sector could not meet the demand for water due to inadequate funding, weak management and poor
infrastructure. They noted that the PPP was designed to achieve an economically and ecologically sustainable water
supply system in the absence of an effective central government and continuous civil unrest in Somalia. They also
highlighted a number of challenges faced by the project including insufficient capacity of public partners and lack of
studies on water production. One important lesson learned was that a successful PPP cannot be established without a
strong, functioning public partner and a supportive national water policy and/or water regulations.
In response to the concern raised about the relative importance of private sector in this sector, the presenter said that the
public sector may not be able to provide all the required services for the people especially when there is weak
governance structure in Somalia. UNICEF experience in Somalia shows that there is incredible increase in the quality of
service provision when the private sector is taking a leading role in WASH sector and the public sector is playing a role
to regulate the market failures. Following the presentation and discussions, three groups separately from Puntland,
Somaliland and TFG of Somalia were formed to come up with the situational analysis of WASH in the group
presentation.
Finally, Mr. Zaid Jurji of UNICEF demonstrated the DevInfo data tool that covers all the indicators of the eight
MDGs and how it generates performance indicators depending on the data entered into the system. He underscored the
utility of the tool to get data for MDGs progress monitoring and evaluation.
th
Day 9 of the Workshop (8
June): Livestock and Education
Session I: Livestock Needs Assessment - Policy options and strategic actions
Dr. Abdelhameed Nawar of UNDP/RCC delivered the presentation on the livestock sector noting that it is one of the
critical areas of priority investment for the achievement of the MDGs in Somalia given its dominant contribution of
national economy. He elaborated how livestock sector contributes directly to most MDGs targets including
environmental sustainability. After showing the distribution of livestock population in Somalia, Dr. Nawar went on to
describe the key constraints and challenge facing the livestock sector in Somalia. He emphasized the need for proper
need assessment and formulation of livestock management strategic plan as part of national development strategy to
make a significant contribution towards MDGs progress. He further stressed the need to move from project-based
development to national program based development by exploring ways to convert and leverage livestock into a tool for
sustainable inclusive development. The main hazards that livestock farmers face include; drought, market access, high
input cost, livestock diseases and environmental degradation due to overgrazing, logging and charcoal burning. Some
potential areas of interventions he noted for overcoming these constraints include improvement in roads and transport
infrastructure for better access to market, integrated water and forage resource management, destocking and restocking,
alternative energy promotion, information and communications technology, research and development and adaptation
strategies to deal with the effect of climate change. He said that the challenges facing the sector must be addressed
through the development of a strategic livestock management plan that identifies the interventions to be addressed and
sound livestock need assessment for Somalia will be a milestone for inclusive development prospect. Mr. Bikash
Sharma of UNDP Somalia completed by sharing with participants some innovative rangeland management approach
successfully practiced in other nomadic areas that can be replicated in Somalia context to boast the livestock
productivity while enhancing the rangeland productivity (carrying capacity) and its ecosystem through institutional and
technological innovations designed to fit the specific local context.
Session II: Adaptation of education model to country context
In the second session of the day, Mr. Mathias Rwehera, an education advisor with UNESCO, took the participants
through the EPSSim model and on how to adapt it to capture country specific data for the three zones of Somalia. Lack
of data was cited as a drawback in the implementation of the model. However, the participants agreed to do everything
possible to get the required data to make the model function appropriately.
Day 10 of the Workshop (9th June): Energy and Environment
Session I: Democratic governance, environment and MDGs
Mr. Sriram Pande, senior economist of UNDP-Somalia in his presentation on governance, environment and MDGs
stressed that democratic governance and for that matter environmental governance is an indispensable factor in
achieving the MDGs and promoting peace and human development. After explaining the major attributes of governance
and its importance for MDGs, he demonstrated how environmental sustainability (goal 7) cuts across all the other goals
as an essential ingredient for achieving all the other MDGs. He emphasized that development cannot be sustained for
long at the cost of environmental degradation. He highlighted the major problems and issues associated with Somalia’s
environmental governance dealing with land use and eco-systems, forests and woodlands, energy, water and marine
resources, and biodiversity. Environmental governance calls for integrating environmental concerns into policy and
program at all level though undertaking Strategic Environment Assessment (SEA) for sustainable land use planning and
management; formulating National Action Plan for Adaptation (NAPA) Strategies to deal with adverse impact of
climate change and supporting multi-stakeholder partnerships and their capacity building needs. Mr. Pande concluded
that challenges to mitigate environmental degradation are formidable but costs of inaction are insurmountable. These
challenges must be addressed by creating an environmental strategy.
Session II: Energy, gender and MDGs: Challenges and opportunities
Bikash Sharma, HDR specialist of HDEU/UNDP Somalia began his presentation by showing the nexus between
energy, gender, environment and development. He demonstrated why gender is crucial variable in connecting this nexus
and why the achievement of MDGs is impossible without the provision of gender responsive sustainable energy
services despite the fact that there is no specific goal for energy. The first part of his presentation focused on gender and
gender mainstreaming issues in theory and practice. He stressed that gender mainstreaming is a tool to better understand
root causes of gender inequalities in society and come up with appropriate pro-active strategies to tackle the socially
constructed gender inequalities which may focus on women or men separately or on women and men together
depending on the context. It is about challenging mainstream gender neutral policies which fail to recognize gender
differences in needs, roles, assets and impacts and bringing long-lasting changes in society. He went on to elaborate
various gender goals evolving over time (welfare, antipoverty, efficiency, equity, empowerment) indicating why right
choice of gender goals is critical to mainstreaming gender and how empowerment as gender goal is becoming powerful
approach. He then showed the close linkages between MDGS and gender issues.
Mr. Sharma then introduced the concept of sustainable energy and its link to all the MDGs. He highlighted the looming
energy crisis in the nomadic areas as a critical barrier to achieving MDGs and noted that nomadic life style coupled with
many barriers (physical, economic and social) makes the conventional approach of finding sustainable energy solution
ineffective. He stressed that sustainable energy solution calls for a holistic approach that harmoniously meets three
broad criteria of sustainability – availability, acceptability and affordability. He then shared with participant some
innovative good practice experiences and lessons from other nomadic countries to demonstrate a huge potential of
renewable energy (improved cooked stove, solar cookers, solar lamp, portable solar bio-digesters, wind etc) for saving
traditional solid fuels (up to 60%), reducing indoor air pollution and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,
reducing drudgery, and freeing up the time of nomadic herders, especially women, for productive activities. Finally, he
highlighted Somalia’s highly conducive climatic conditions to harness the alternative energy sources, especially solar
and wind energy and concluded his presentation by posing four key issues for group discussion and presentation
(potential renewable energy technologies, priority technological options, key constraints and scope for overcome these
barriers).
Session III: Energy costing tool for MDG based national energy
After familiarizing the participants with various issues and options for sustainable energy solution, Mr. Bikash Sharma
of UNDP presented the energy costing tools for MDG-based national energy and highlighted the basic structure of
model involving four steps process (choice of interventions, setting targets, estimating resource needs and checking
results). He indicated some limitations of the model as it could only produce rough estimates of energy costs ignoring
large-scale energy interventions to increase a country’s generation capacity; energy needs for transportation and
industry and household demands above a minimum level. He then introduced the simplified version of the energy
costing model (using spread sheet|) for estimating the cost of increasing access to improved cooking system as an
example. Participants were trained for using the model by setting target for chosen energy intervention and their unit
cost.
Group Discussions and presentation
During the group presentation, some common priority energy interventions identified by each group included solar and
wind energy for urban areas and biogas and solar for rural areas. The key constrains/barriers identified for harnessing
these renewable energy potential include lack of effective renewable energy policy, knowledge gap, and lack of
appropriate technology, lack of adequate financial and skill human resources and limited purchasing power of rural
people to afford new technologies. The solutions to these constraints include political implementation of energy policy,
community awareness and participation, improved PPP setting up a research and training institution on alternative
energy, awareness creation, and developing pro-poor subsidy on alternative energy use. To overcome these barriers, the
government must restore sustainable peace and stability; formulate policy and planning for energy development and
institution capacity building.
Day 12 of the Workshop (10 June): Working outlines and MDG Action Plan
Session I: Working outline for the forthcoming Somalia HDR
On the last day of the workshop, Mr. Bikash Sharma of UNDP presented the draft working outline for the upcoming
Somalia HDR. At the outset he said that main purpose of this presentation is to discuss and receive valuable feedbacks
on the overall structure of the report. He noted that the basic thrust of the report will be to analyze the linkages between
youth empowerment, conflict transformation, peace and development and build the architecture of a national human
development approach consistent with the country’s overall context and development strategy. He outlined the overall
structure of the report as divided into three parts with 6 chapters: a) the first part dealing with key political and
socio-economic transition taking place in Somalia including conflict dynamics and development nexus and the rationale
for investing in youth empowerment for conflict transformation, peace building; b) the second part–dealing with the
situation of youth (chapter 3) and critical issues and options for engaging and empowering them for inclusive
development ( Chapter 4) and peace building ( Chapter 5) and the last part dealing with main findings, conclusion and
strategic policy recommendations
During the discussions, the participants wanted clarifications on why youth is considered the central focus rather than
sub topic; what age of youth will be considered during the youth survey and whether youth will be involved in
undertaking survey? In response, it was clarified that the purpose of national human development report is not merely to
analysis overall situation but to sharpen our understanding on certain thematic issue of national importance. As such
how to harness the unexplored power and potential of youth as peace builders and socio economic actor rather than
always seeing them in negative light thus underpins the rationale of choosing youth as the central focus of the HDR. It
was assured that youths will be fully involved in conducting the survey as research assistants and youth is defined as
age between 15 and 29 for the purpose of survey besides capture the common perceptions on youth age bracket through
the sample survey.
Session II Group Presentation on Action Plan for MDG Needs Assessment
On the last day of the workshop, participants from Puntland, Somaliland and TFG of Somalia administrations presented
the action plans for MDG needs assessment. The action plans were prepared in line with the four guiding questions
posed during the thematic presentation on the first day of the workshop. Some common elements/features that figure
prominently in all action plans include: the formation of taskforces for prioritising and harmonizing MDGs targets with
current policies, strategies and operational plans, synchronization of sectoral plans with MDG goals and targets,
localization of MDGs targets through demand driven planning process, critical review of annual budget process and
necessary revision to reflect commitment towards MDGs, data gap assessment, capacity building training for
government employees and establishing participatory monitoring and evaluation.( see Annex for detail action plan)
Closing Remarks
Mr. Sriram Pande, Senior Economist of UNDP Somalia chaired the closing session and invited first the
representatives from Puntland, Somaliland and TFG of Somalia administrations to express their opinion and overall
impression/ experience regarding the outcome /performance of the workshop. He also encouraged all the participants
to express their personal impressions about the workshop in the open forum while at the same time providing their
personal judgment on each workshop session by filling out the evaluation form.
A common voice of all participants was that the training workshop was an eye opener and fruitful in many respects. It
has been a unique event being the first of its kind to bring together all senior level government officials from three
politically divided administrations (Puntland, Somaliland and TFG of Somalia) in a common platform to discuss the
common issues and challenges of addressing MDG based planning process at the heart of national development
strategy. It also provided a unique opportunity to personally meet and openly interact with their counterparts from the
other zones thereby enhancing mutual cooperation and understanding of the Somalia problem. Two women participants
also expressed their satisfaction that gender issues were well covered in the workshop session and requested that they
be integrated into the planning agenda. The training had equipped them with the tools and skills on how to integrate
MDGs into the planning process of the country. The participants promised to carry on with the work that they leant in
the workshop to the next stage of preparing the MDGs Needs Assessment and the MDGs progress report. Participant
also appreciated for the excellent support and facilities being provided throughout workshop period. Participant
agreed that the problems of Somali people will be solved by the people themselves by working together to build a
strong and prosperous country for the common good of their people.
Mr. Sriram Pande thanked and appreciated the participants for making the event a grand success through their active
participation, cooperation and dedicated effort in every group presentation. He was also happy that the participants
found the workshop useful and requested them to make the best use of the knowledge acquired to further the
development agenda of the country. He emphasized that the work did not end in Kampala but it has just started and we
have to go a long way to make a difference in the lives of the people through MDG based planning process. He
reiterated that all plans must anchor MDGs as a way of meeting the peoples’ needs. He requested participants to
continue dialogue with their counterparts and lead the process by having effective communication with all concerned
Ministries during the preparation process of the MDGs Needs Assessment and the MDGs progress report. Finally he
expressed special thanks and appreciation to the Resource Persons and HDEU/UNDP staff especially Mr. Richard
Ngetich, MDG Officer, Ms. Evalyne Oluoch, Program Assistant and Mr. Jared Ichwara, Research Officer for all
support facilities and necessary arrangement and wished all participants a pleasant and a safe journey back home.

model, Incremental-based Budgeting Model (Current Somaliland budgeting model)
4 How to develop capacity of governments in preparing and implementing MDG strategies
Puntland
•
To create integrated data base, Government employees should be trained in data collection, processing and analysis.
•
Conduct intensive trainings and workshops for the government employees in reaching the MDGs strategies. Somaliland
•
Set up high-level MDG steering committee at cabinet level
•
Set up a well-structured and functioning technical forum or MDG thematic group at national and sub-national levels
•
Introduce participatory monitoring and evaluation framework for measuring and reporting MDG framework
•
Support the implementation of AID policy
•
Improve the governance function of all sectors and ensure inter-sectoral linkages and networking

participation.
Annex 1.4 Evaluation of the workshop
Participants were asked to rate the quality of resource material and resource persons for each session on a five point ordinal
scale (1= unsatisfactory, 2= satisfactory, 3= good, 4= very good, 5= excellent). The evaluation form was completed by 28
participants of whom some 14 percent did not answer each questions. The overall evaluation result as summarized in Figure
illustrate indicates that most participants liked both the trainer and resources content/materials as more than 60 percent of the
participants rated the performance form very good to excellent, another 20 % good and the rest 4 % reporting satisfactory. The
detailed session specific evaluation result/score is given below.
