"The delegation announced they will open an office in Puntland and will be back next month to fulfil their promises quickly. I expect these programmes will change a lot about social services," Hirsi told Sabahi. This is the second time TIKA representatives have visited Puntland this year. They visited the port of Bosaso, camps for internally displaced people, Qardo jail and health centres. They also plan to visit Galkayo to assess sectors that need assistance, Hirsi said. TIKA has been engaged in numerous aid activities in East Africa, including repairing roads in Mogadishu and donating food to Djibouti. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
