Somali Urban Development Programme (SUDP)
SAACID has been partnering UN-HABITAT in rural and urban community development programming since 2005. This has culminated in outputs of public infrastructure rehabilitation projects; leadership and management training for grassroots leaders; participatory budgeting and planning operations; and gender and IDP inclusiveness.
In January 2007, SAACID signed a programme cooperation agreement with UN-HABITAT that focussed upon urban development in Mogadishu City. Included in the contract package was public infrastructure rehabilitations and leadership and management training.
The key component to the programming was district-level ownership for identifying, selecting and rehabilitating public infrastructure that they perceived as a priority. This transfer of ownership has been critical in ensuring that the rehabilitated public infrastructure is not looted or destroyed. To date, in a city racked by ongoing conflict, not a single public infrastructure project completed since we first began in 2005 has been looted or destroyed - a real testament to the community ownership model.
These projects rolled out through 2007 and 2008; and, due to their success, they yielded a further cooperation agreement between UN-HABITAT for more urban rehabilitation projects that were completed in 2009.
In January 2010, SAACID signed a further cooperation agreement with UN-HABITAT for a further round of public infrastructure rehabilitation; as well as training 595 grassroots leaders in Mogadishu in core conflict management techniques; and completing a full public infrastructure audit for all 16 districts within Mogadishu City. This programme is due to e completed in November 2010.
