SOMALIA UN MPTFSITUATION UPDATEThe SIP project continued to support its partners in both the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) and thePuntland State in the third quarter. At the FGS level, work continued to ensure that the Three Year NationalDevelopment Plan is successfully implemented. In the reporting period, the Ministry of Planning Investments andEconomic Development (MOPIED) spearheaded the drafting of a Monitoring and Evaluation Framework. TheNational Development Council approved the document and it is now an official Federal Government of Somaliadocument serving to direct and inform how monitoring and evaluation is carried out vis-à-vis its developmentprojects, programs and activities. The project has, in the reporting period, supported the training of MOPIED staffon project management, reporting and monitoring and evaluation. Due to the training, these staff members willwork with increased capacities on the duties as already assigned to them, but, more importantly, will impart theirenhanced knowledge and skills to civil service staff in their own and counterpart ministries at the Federal MemberState level.On aid coordination at the FGS level, the ACU hosted two separate meetings successfully. On 24 July 2017, thenew Aid Coordination Architecture was presented and discussed in a workshop in Mogadishu with representativesfrom the Federal and State government, the UN as well as donor agencies. The SDRF meeting was successfullyhosted on 26 July in Mogadishu. The FGS Deputy Prime Minister chaired the meeting and reiterated the need forclose cooperation between the FGS and Federal Member States (FMS) in coordinating the post droughtcoordination efforts. All the FMS attended the meeting and made presentations on the situation in their stateswith regards the post drought situations. The World Bank presented the latest edition of the Operations Manualfor SDRF Funding Windows. The SDRF endorsed the document. DfID presented the monitoring framework thatwill be incorporated into the New Partnership for Somalia document.After slow progress in 2016 and the beginning of 2017, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs reinvigorated thework on the Federal Civil Service Labor Law (Law #11). Under the leadership of the new Minister of Labour, theproject supported an international consultant to work on addressing the challenges faced before and moving thelaw forward. A steering committee that was charged with coordinating these activities 2016 was revived and willbe responsible for discussing any changes in the Law. The committee consists of 3 staff members from the Ministryof Labor, 1 member from the Civil Service Commission, the OPM, the Ministry of Finance, the State SolicitorGeneral each, as well as a local advisor (supported by the project) who serves as the legal advisor. The Ministry ofLabour shared the draft law with international partners for comments, which will be addressed in a joint workshopmid-October.In Puntland, the aid coordination mechanism set up under the Puntland Development Forum (PDF) continues tomove from one milestone to the next. On 10 August 2017, the PDF’s second round of meetings saw the chairs andco-chairs of the PWGs convening. The members present discussed the challenges faced by the PDF and theproposed solutions to deal with some of the identified challenges. It is important that the PWGs members continueto meet to fulfill the role of the PDF.After a period of negotiations on the implementation of the LOAs with the new government counterparts at theFGS, new Letters of Agreement were signed with the Office of the Prime Minister, MOPIED as well as the Ministryof Labor. These agreements will end on 31 December 2017. The LoAs in Puntland were all extended during the3Rev. 6

Government ministries in Somalia continue to lack quality and experienced labor to handlecivil service work. 13 local advisors were supported in Puntland government institutions. 41 were supported atthe FGS level with the majority (21) supported at the ACU. It is important to note that at the FGS level there are16 interns (10 at MOPIED and 6 at the NCSC). Without further support for the ACU staff or converting the positionsinto civil service posts the SIP project will continue to fully support the activities of the ACU.In the existing agreement between the National Civil Service Commission (NCSC) and UNDP, one local advisor andsix Graduate Interns are being supported until December 2017. The local advisor was involved in drafting adocument entitled “Factors Affecting Public Sector Gender Integration in Somalia”. This document was finalizedin September. This document identifies the causes of gender inequality in the civil service as well as recommendingpossible options for gender integration in the public sector. The Graduate Interns continue to be taken throughthe paces of a professional work environment at the Commission with participation in such important meetingsas alluded to above.The local advisor at the Ministry of Interior and Federal Affairs (MOIFA) developed two key documents: Financialand Cash Policies Procedures Guide as well as the Procurement and Logistics Policies Guide. The MOIFA needsthese guidelines to guide its staff on the business processes in the Ministry and to ensure a smooth flow ofoperations. In addition to these two draft documents, the local advisor developed TORs for staff in the Planning,as well as Operations and Logistics Departments of the MOIFA. The local advisors progress reports note that theMOIFA remains overstaffed after the merger with several other government institutions, and that a lack ofstreamlining and not having clear terms of references for all staff remains a key issue.At the Puntland level, local advisors at the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC) wereinvolved in various activities providing expert support to administration and finance, communication, monitoringand evaluation, planning as well as aid management. The local advisors continue to give support to the Ministry’squest to set up a fully functional Ministry with all systems in place.Notably, the Ministry’s civil service is increasingly taking over the day to day finance, administration, reporting andstatistics functions. A DfID sanctioned monitoring and verification exercise carried out by the Learning andMonitoring Program Somalia (LAMPS) observed that the Technical Advisors contribution whilst placed in theMOPIC had been relevant, effective and had increased and efficiency.In the third quarter, the Aid Coordination Unit (ACU) housed under the FGS Office of the Prime Minister (OPM)has been supported through paying the salaries for 21 staff members/local advisors. In the reporting period, theACU fulfilled four main functions by providing the necessary technical secretariat support for the current drought7Rev. 6

While the process of redrafting the FGS Labor Law has made limitedprogress during 2016 and the beginning of 2017, in the third quarter, work on the Civil Service Law #11 resumedafter the inception of the new Federal Government of Somalia. The project supported an international consultantwho worked on the recommendations that were received from the Cabinet. Several processes were initiatedduring the reporting period. The international consultant held consultative meetings with the new Minister ofLabor and they discussed the challenges faced before and proposals for moving the law forward. A steeringcommittee that had been set aside in 2016 was revived in the reporting period. The committee which will beresponsible for discussing any changes and making representations on behalf of key government institutionsconsists of 3 staff members from the Ministry of Labor, 1 member from the Civil Service Commission, the OPM,the Ministry of Finance, the State Solicitor General as well as a local advisor who ser
