Chapter V. SOMALILAND SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT

Framing the Somaliland Special Arrangement
Somaliland’s unique development trajectory has evolved out of a process of more than 20 years of
grassroots peacebuilding and statebuilding, forged in relative isolation from other development
contexts characterising the region. Over time, a complex and resilient institutional structure has
taken shape in which modern institutions, traditional and religious authorities, the private sector and
civil society work together in order to effectively ensure peace, stability, freedom against piracy and
terrorism, economic growth, the delivery of basic services, the protection of livelihoods and social
development. Since the ratification of the Somaliland Constitution by popular referendum in 2001,
Somaliland’s development path has been led by five democratically-elected governments, with the
House of Elders (Guurti) playing a traditionally-mandated role in maintaining peace, order and
cultural integrity.

The Somaliland Special Arrangement lays out a way forward for institutionalising on-going
Somaliland processes and initiatives within an overarching and equal partnership between the
Somaliland government, its people and the international community. It is underpinned by a need to
protect and build upon Somaliland’s development gains, as a means for maintaining and expanding
upon security and economic prosperity throughout the Horn of Africa. The Somaliland Special
Arrangement represents an important element of a larger shift in approach to development partner
engagement.

The Somaliland Special Arrangement is a separate and distinct part of the Somali Compact. The
Somaliland Special Arrangement is the sole framework for engaging with Somaliland’s development
process under the New Deal partnership. The simultaneous endorsement of the New Deal principles
was conducted in the spirit of the 13 April Ankara Communiqué signed by the Government of
Somaliland and the Federal Government of Somalia as part of their on-going dialogue process, in
which the two sides agreed to work together to encourage greater and more effective international
development assistance. While the two arrangements were developed through separate processes
and will be implemented using separate government systems and mechanisms, their concurrent and
mutually reinforcing implementation will help to ensure greater cooperation, trust and goodwill
between all Somali people.

Somaliland’s Vision 2030 and the Somaliland Special Arrangement
The Somaliland Special Arrangement is based on Somaliland’s Vision 2030. It has been developed
under the leadership of the Somaliland Ministry of National and Planning and Development (MoNPD)
in consultations with Somaliland stakeholders, including the National Planning Commission (NPC),
line Ministries, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and implementing partners.
The overall vision, as outlined in the Somaliland Vision 2030, is to create “A Stable, Democratic and
Prosperous Somaliland Where the People Enjoy a High Quality of Life.

As the Vision 2030 states, “The government is determined to achieve economic prosperity and social
wellbeing for its people while consolidating the nation’s accomplishments in building stability,
maintaining security and developing democratic institutions. Our aim is to create an empowering
environment where all citizens feel that they have a stake and a role to play in national
development.” The Vision 2030 sets out a roadmap to:

• Enable Somaliland to take ownership of its development agenda;
• Inspire Somaliland and its leadership to mobilise resources and overcome development
challenges to attain a higher standard of living;
• Guide development partners to align their assistance with Somaliland’s priorities and aspirations;
• Provide a framework upon which Somaliland´s strategies and implementation plans will be
anchored.

In order to make progress towards the Vision 2030, a five year development plan for Somaliland for
the period 2012-2016 was developed through a challenging, but rewarding process, which involved
consultations across different stakeholder groups, including government and non-state actors,
central and regional actors. The overall objective of the plan is to address and overcome the
structural and institutional development constraints which Somaliland faces, and to achieve social
and economic transformation towards the attainment of national prosperity.

The pillars of Somaliland's Development Plan correspond to the five Peace and Statebuilding Goals
(PSGs) of the New Deal in the following manner: the Governance Pillar corresponds to PSG 1
(Inclusive Politics), PSG 2 (Security) and PSG 3 (Justice); the Economic, Infrastructure and
Environment Pillars correspond to PSG 4 (Economic Foundations); and the Social Pillar corresponds
to PSG 5 (Revenue and Services).

The priorities and corresponding milestones covered within these five PSG areas were derived
directly from a wide range of assessments and evaluations conducted by the government and
international partners over the past several years. In developing the Somaliland Special
Arrangement, these assessments were consolidated and taken into consideration through a PSG lens
by those Somaliland government and civil society representatives leading the Somaliland Special
Arrangement drafting process. Somaliland has been fortunate enough to draw on extensive prior
background material, including a number of sector strategies and assessments, which are already
structured to address the overall development framework—the Somaliland development plan—and
has informed the Somaliland Special Arrangement.

Approach to the Somaliland Special Arrangement
The Somaliland Special Arrangement will serve as a strategic framework for development partners to
engage with identified priority areas of Somaliland’s development plan. As a living document, the
Somaliland Special Arrangement highlights targeted milestones that are specific enough to guide
policy dialogue, project development and planning, while allowing enough flexibility for a changing
contextual environment.

The Somaliland Special Arrangement will also provide the framework for improving international
assistance to Somaliland by setting out a set of partnership principles, preferred financing modalities
and mechanisms for coordination and monitoring. 22
Prioritisation and programming efforts currently underway to implement the Somaliland
development plan, will serve as the starting point for kick-starting implementation under the New
Deal framework. Further dialogue and planning will take place through the mechanism identified in
the Somaliland Special Arrangement, in order to translate strategic priorities and milestones outlined
in the document into concrete and tangible results.

Wonderful Mr Prestige thanks for sharing it looks very good in paper we can work with this

That part is very important it means the international community cooperates with Somaliland by using this special arrangement.

Walaal,

No Somali person has said Somaliland people should not be given aid. They can get as much money as they want from anybody to make life easy for our somali brothers. Call it special or unique. its aid and development.

here is what you should put in your Head.

ICTIRAAF is not coming and Can only be given by the Somali parliament. Tell me how many votes will Ictiraaf bill get in the Somali parliament and who will take it there since all the MPs are unionist. Marka lacag qaata oo kudhisa dhulka.

SM Worry about the daily bombs in Mogadishu you Hawiye primate of lower order.

War worry about the daily bombs in Mogadishu you Hawiye primate of lower order.

And you continue looking at the Sky dreaming recognition would fall from the blue Sky. Its more likely for Idoor man to have a hawiye baby than Recognition coming.

Never trust a Hawiye Pizza man .

That is already happening to your people in Mogadishu. How many Moryaans had Ugandan babies without knowing?

I dont want BucarBucayris to die from famine. So its fine with me if they get aid. They share with the other somalis in tuugsi .

Doqonkii ceeb YaanYo pretended to act as if smellyland will not be part of new deal, yet this topic made by a fellow bucarbucayrian xabashiloving fag destroys that false image.
Smellylanders will get aid and they will always be associated with Somalia. No room for the cursed ictiraaf.
Our(somali patriotic heroes) guns and our superior foreign policy prevents that.

Famine is associated with south Somalia and Moryaans. Have you forgotten Somaliland donated $700,000 to Somalia in 2011 to save thousands of hungry
southerners? You ungrateful Ugandan child.

Habaarqabe,
U shooting in your own bucarbucayr leg rofll.
This topic reveals that qaldaanland has been associated with Somalia.
If they were true to the cursed ictiraaf they would tell the europeans to fuck off with this "special arrangement" associated with Somalia, and make for them(smellylanders) another conference called : New Deal Somaliland.

Such conference wont be hold, because no country believes in fairytales. No country will welcome that pregnant woman ceeb yaanyo as a stateman. I remember the khatjunkies sayng Obama would welcome him in white house kkkk. In truth some unknown fat chinese gaylord had date with ceeb yaanyo kkkk.
In UK they said Cameron welcomed ceeb yaanyo for recognition. In truth cameron wanted only to tell him to attend the Somalia Conference.


You can have some share of the damn aid giving to Somalia. No one is denying you that.

There is no "special arrangement" for Somalia, you have new deal, while Somaliland gets the special arrangement. Somalia and Somaliland are on a
different phase of stages in development hence why Somaliland is not lumped with Somalia. Learn to read Moryaan. The international community
will engage Somaliland separately while bombs continue in Mogadishu.

Listen khaniisyahow,
Go get a New Deal Somaliland Conference where pregnantwoman ceeb yaanyo is invited.
Then we will talk.

Show me a single conference made for qaldaanland. Show me a real stateman(Obama,erdogan/Abdullahi Gul, european officials like that old woman or Barosso, ) welcoming faglord ceeb yaanyo.

Right now pls fuck off and take ur aid.
We dont want you to perish kkkk

Just because I refused to hump your blick Bantu Hawiye sister doesn't mean I am one, you Ugandan faggot. Somaliland doesn't need a new deal as
it is separate for Somalia, we already have this special arrangement.

Why do the koonfurians think that AID that comes from the pockets of the Europeans is something awoowgood aw walaweyni uga tegey inay tahay. You dont own the AID that comes from Europe and America hala idinku dhaarto.

Mr Prestige slow down the Hawiye clan are not our enemies in the long term , we just need to find ways to live side by side as neighbors , some of them are still attached to the cancerous union that Killed so many Somalilanders and , Hawiye's to. See the Hawiyes do not know what is good for them thats why they are in the situation they are in. Hutuking is Habr gedir the Habr gedir are a lost case themselves they have been left behind long time ago.

I though you loved hawiye women , with their big booties and the over all african feel vibe they give you .
