The LGI is the Somaliland government’s principal institution for providing training to local governments.
The Somaliland government is undertaking major reforms to enhance local governance and service provision for the benefit of the population.
The LGI itself was established against a backdrop of two major strategic initiatives undertaken by the Somaliland government, namely, Somaliland Vision 2030 and the Local Government Expansion Strategy.
Somaliland Vision 2030 aims to turn Somaliland into “A Stable, Democratic and Prosperous Country Where People Enjoy a High Quality of Life”. This is intended to be achieved through five pillars, namely: 1) Economic Development; 2) Infrastructure Development; 3) Good Governance: 4) Social Development; 5) Environmental Protection.
