The Deputy Mayor of Mogadishu and Director of the Benadir Regional Administration, Mrs. Basma Omar Ahmed, has met with personnel of the EUTM-S CIMIC Team. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss projects currently under development by the Italian CIMIC team and took place in Mogadishu City Hall, the historic residence of the Italian Governor in Mogadishu in the 1930s, recently renovated following the devastation suffered during the years of the civil war. Adding impetuous to meeting was the recent heavy rainfall experienced in Somalia, which has caused localised flooding in both the capital and throughout the country and has proven to be particular problematic. Of particular note has been the havoc that the flooding has caused on the roads throughout the Mogadishu making some areas impassable. Issues raised during the meeting was the support for emergency services, the development of projects assisting vulnerable groups, with particular attention given to women. The provision of security was also discussed with focus on both current levels and those anticipated during the forthcoming federal elections. On conclusion of the meeting the Deputy Mayor expressed his gratitude by presenting a certificate of appreciation to Lieutenant Colonel Matteo Mineo and his personnel demonstrating the fundamental support that has linked the city of Mogadishu to the Italian contingent for many years.

The Fisher Field School is a project funded by the Italian military Contingent (CIMIC) in Mogadishu. The participants at the course, all women, are trained to fish capture, boat repair, and post-harvest processing. The Multinational CIMIC Group Operators visited the school with the Xamarweyne District Commissioner to have a complete understanding about the programs followed by participants and about the training level reach by them.

The EUTM-S CIMIC Team completed the refurbishment of 8 multimedia classrooms at the Somali National University in Mogadishu. Thanks to this project, conducted by Multinational CIMIC Group operators, the Italian Universities will be able to broadcast their lectures of Italian language and other curricula currently untaught in Somalia. The CIMIC project, in collaboration with the Agency for Development and Cooperation of the Italian Embassy in Mogadishu, surveyed faculties of Medicine, Agriculture, Law and Economics at the Gaheyr and Polytechnic Campuses. Initiatives such as these are vital to assisting the youth of Mogadishu in maximizing their potential and enabling them to build a better future for their country.
