are working in a range of areas under the mandate from the UN Security Council.
Progress has been made. It has been made in the area of governance, in the area of
human rights, women’s rights, part of human rights, constitutional reviews and
reforms. We know that you are planning for a very important election in 2020 and
the United Nations is prepared to provide support,”

Stability in any part of the world is more likely to be assured if women are engaged
in society. We know that there are obstacles in many places. Every country in the
world, women are certainly not perhaps, still at a percentage that they should be, in
political life. But we want to address that."

National Independent Electoral Commission (NIEC)
“The reasons we have not achieved much on the political front as women, is because

UN’s top political official visits Somalia, discusses priority issues with Government
and civil society

Mogadishu, 31 January 2019 - The United Nations top political official concluded a
two-day visit to Somalia where she held discussions with the Federal Government of
Somalia (FGS) and women representatives of the country’s civil society.

Rosemary DiCarlo, the UN’s Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding


Affairs, held meetings with President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed ‘Farmaajo’,
Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire, and a group of federal cabinet ministers.
Discussions with the President and Prime Minister focused on practical measures for
the FGS and the United Nations to work more closely together to benefit the Somali
people and support the country’s state building and peacebuilding priorities.

“We are committed to supporting peace, stability and prosperity for the people of
Somalia. We are here to help Somalia succeed,” said Ms. DiCarlo after the meetings
held in Mogadishu on Wednesday.

The senior UN official welcomed the Federal Government’s ongoing reform agenda,
and expressed the strong support of the United Nations for implementation of the
milestones set out in the government’s roadmaps on inclusive politics, security and
justice, economic recovery, and social development.

“Somalia has made significant progress and, despite the obstacles, there is a strong
political will to build a stable future for the Somali people. Many challenges remain
but I am encouraged by the determination of all those I met in Mogadishu to address
them, and the FGS’ commitment to prioritise good governance, human rights,
women’s rights and to complete the Constitutional review. As we approach elections
in 2020, the UN stands ready to continue to support Somalia and its people to
achieve its goals”, she said.
At a joint press briefing with Ms. DiCarlo, the Prime Minister said that the Federal
Government had agreed to strengthen its collaboration with the UN to implement a
Somali-led agenda.

“We welcome the support of the UN to enable Somalia to achieve its national
development goals. We appreciate the UN’s valuable contribution to Somalia over
the years and we hope the partnership will grow stronger,” Mr. Khaire stated, adding
that the federal government would work closely with the UN to implement
programmes that spur development, fight corruption, provide access to education,
health and security.

During her visit, the Under-Secretary-General met with women representatives of


civil society organisations in Somalia, where she underscored the importance of an
independent civil society, while pledging continued support towards the inclusion,
representation and participation of women in the country’s political processes in
light of the 2020 elections.

“Stability in any part of the world is more likely to be achieved if women are engaged
in society,” Ms. DiCarlo noted. “The percentage of women participating in the
political life, throughout the world, is still unsatisfactory. We also want to support
Somalia to address that," she emphasized.
