Governance

The Governance Programme promotes national and local institutions and serves to steward Somalia’s establishment of good governance and public accountability in an environment where government functions are emerging or non-existent. UNDP’s objective is to address the three identified pillars of Somali needs:

i. Establish good governance through initiatives at the national, regional, and local levels, including drafting of the Constitution;
ii. Enhance the capacity of  local governments: regional, local and district councils;
iii. Enhance the capacity of national institutions that support the ‘machinery of government’ and decision making institution; and
iv. Enhance the capacity of the local civil society and media that support peace and state building.

Toward achieving this agenda, UNDP partners with several UN and non-UN agencies and supports Somali-led initiatives through various joint programmes or bilateral arrangements.

The Governance Programme has currently three projects:

Local governance — UNDP, together with four other UN agencies, works to place communities at the core of local development, to ensure that the services provided are relevant to a given community and that the local councils are accountable to the people and transparent.

Somali Institutional Development Project (SIDP) — The SIDP seeks to implement institutional development and capacity building first by targeting the ‘machinery of government’ (parliament and central agencies), followed by professional institutions responsible for public administration.

UNDP Somalia Constitution-making Support Project - UNDP and Somali partners designed the Somali Institution Development Project for south central Somalia, Puntland and Somaliland
