Hello,

 

I am writing to you as the Program Assistant from the Economic Diversification Project based in Somaliland. This is a project supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) implemented through ADRA in Somaliland and Puntland. ADRA has been implementing development and humanitarian projects in Somalia since 1992. The project is based and operating in Somaliland and Puntland.

 

 

The aim of this project is to promote peace through increased economic activity in the energy sector . To do this we are providing technical trainings to technicians to upgrade their skills, providing orientation and business training to the local businesses and creating public awareness on the possibilities of various energy options.

 

 

We have made contact with you as we would like to share this information about our project with the Somaliland Diaspora and let them know of the existing possibilities for business investment and business services that can provide energy services to relatives still here in Somaliland. One of the main focuses at this time is the promotion of solar power systems . We have worked with local businesses that have trained technicians who can professionally install and service solar power systems here Somaliland.

 

 

Please let me know if you have there are any local Somaliland groups, newspapers, radio stations, and websites or other ways that could share this information with the Diaspora in your area.

 

 

I look forward to your response and hope that we can work together to enable to sustain peace here in Somaliland through economic activity.
