While Hargeisa prison has been completed in cooperation with United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), UNDP is facilitating work at Gardo prison and provides the Puntland custodial corps with equipment and training. In Puntland, UNDP supports a literacy project for inmates. UNDP shares response to piracy with other organizations such as UNPOS and UNDOC to deliver fair and efficient piracy trials in Somaliland and Somalia. 

Somali Capacity

Ongoing activity

In 2011 the UNDP was able to reopen the United Nations Common Compound in Mogadishu, a sign of the improving security situation. The UNDP is working across many sectors to help Somalia re-build effective state institutions. Working alongside regional and international actors, UNDP focuses on building and implementing shared solutions to the issues of democratic governance, the rule of law, and security, poverty reduction and environmental protections, achieving the Millennium Development Goals, gender equality/women’s empowerment, and HIV/AIDS. In conjunction with the United Nations Somali Assistance Strategy (UNSAS), the UNDP developed a five-year plan, Country Programme Document 2011-2015 (CPD) that outlines the nation’s recovery and development.
