Overview of Position
Strengthening Somalia Institutions for Public Works (SSIPWP) project is a key initiative in developing the capacity of the Ministry of Public Works, Reconstruction and Housing, the State level Ministries and Banadir Regional Administration (BRA) to enable them independently plan, design, manage and oversee infrastructure and public works projects.
