The Somaliland Development Fund – Phase 2 (SDF2) covers the period 2018 – 2023. SDF2 is conceived as an inclusive economic development programme. It supports the GoSL in delivering infrastructure that is relevant for inclusive economic development. It focuses on sustainable investments that spur job creation and fast growth, while at the same time laying the foundation for long-term resilience and development, leading to a more stable and peaceful Somaliland. SDF2’s support is fully aligned with government priorities as defined in the National Development Plan 2 (NDP2) 2017-2021 and reflect the priorities set out in Somaliland Vision 2030.
The Ministry of Transport and Roads Devepment (MoTRD) has developed a Project Concept Note for a project on Rehabilitation of 82 km of Burao - Sheikh – Berbera road section that connects the Somaliland cities of Burao, Sheikh and Berbera including 7 bridges along the road section. This concept note has been approved by the SDF2 Joint Steering Committee (JSC).
The SDF Secretariat is therefore seeking the services of a Senior Roads and Bridges Expert to support the MoTRD and the RDA in conducting necessary preliminary consultations, assessments and development of a full project proposal as per the SDF approved proposal format.
