The aim of UN-HABITAT’s work in this sector is to enhance basic urban service delivery and maintenance. This will be through supporting local authorities by introducing more sustainable and financially viable strategies, while consistently expanding distribution coverage within the urban communities. After analysing the current situation on the ground, the project will develop waste management strategies (including social awareness and mobilisation in pilot municipalities), produce waste management strategic guidelines, and identify and adapt appropriate technical manuals (and test and apply them with municipalities). Overall, Solid Waste Management Action Plans will be initiated (inspired through a bottom-up approach) in 11 municipalities. |

Background: 
A significant portion of the urban planning activities was linked to strategic local projects. All the projects were implemented within the framework of the spatial development of the respective towns, with the objective of improving the urban structure. A total of seven main projects were implemented, principally focusing on the construction and rehabilitation of markets and slaughterhouses. The projects have inputs from all the consortium partners. Oxfam-Novib has helped market vendors improve their organizational capacities, while the International Labour Organization helped to establish business plans. UNA is responsible for providing technical documents and overseeing the construction components of the projects.
Under the urban services component, implemented by UNA, managing solid waste is the focus. Activities started with an assessment of solid waste management systems in Somaliland and Puntland, followed by a series of technical workshops to introduce improved systems. A call for proposals has resulted in eight local projects, equally divided between Somaliland and Puntland.
