RedSea Posted February 6, 2006 ASSALAMU CALAYKUM, IPRT installed state-of-the-art conference equipment at the House of Guurti The Institute for Practical Research and Training (IPRT) promotes local initiatives in Health, Education and the institution of good governance in Somaliland and other communities in the Horn of Africa. Among one of its projects is a multi-year capacity building program to help the Somaliland's legislature. The Institute provides Internet access and networking facility, publishes the legislature's monthly gazette and periodic training to staff and legislators. In order to promote transparency, the Institute is working on the establishment of a full Hansard system so that the proceedings of the National Assembly are recorded for current and future use, and on 22 December 2005 installed at the House of Guurti (Somaliland's Upper House) a state-of-the-art conference equipment which will now make it possible to record the proceedings of this House. The installed conference equipment will also make simultaneous interpretation possible so that visiting dignitaries and experts, particularly experts on democracy and human rights who are frequent visitors to this House, can now exchange views with National Assembly members smoothly and appropriately. (see below for the newly installed system). IPRT hopes to soon equip the House of Representatives in a similar way. Bill Ainashe WWW.AINASHE.NET http://www.hargeysa.org Assalamu Calaykum.
