The core component of the International Organization for Migration’s Transition Initiative for Stabilization (IOM/TIS) program for Somaliland is building technical capacity support to the central and regional government entities to enhance their ability to provide adequate services.
To sustain stability and build on the continuous efforts of the Somaliland administration to improve its accountability and performance, the establishment of the first ever civil registration systems in the history of Somaliland is critical. The well-planned and institutionalized civil registration will allow for access to statistics which can enhance service delivery and development plans of Somaliland. It will jumpstart issuing of identification cards, and provide sufficient data for improved development planning in the areas of education, health, social benefits, security, and employment. It will also help uphold greater transparency and fairness of the presidential and parliamentary elections currently slated for 2015.

about 23 District Councils.

The consultant will report to the Minister of Interior and the TIS/IOM Program Manager. The consultant will provide guidance and manage locally hired consultant and advise the team of MOI appointees engaged in setting up civil registration in Somaliland.
