Remember this story
Trademark East Africa has contracted Transtec to perform a Baseline and an Endline Study of the Berbera Corridor in Somaliland. The study will provide a robust baseline and end line evidence and indicators on existing traffic conditions along the Berbera Corridor, which will inform planned interventions to meet current and predicted future demand and track progress on programme outputs as the Berbera corridor is developed.
Transtec is partnering with Ayaah Consulting and Sadar Institute for the implementation of this key study for Somaliland.
Who are Sadar Institute?
So Trademark East Africa (UK, DFID) are contributing 25 million to the Hargeisa Bypass part and Wajaale border crossing preparedness, are hiring consultants from Mogadishu to " provide a robust baseline and end line evidence and indicators on existing traffic conditions along the Berbera Corridor ".
