description:

Somalia suffers significant skills gaps, following years of conflict. Skills enhancement is therefore central to the reconstruction of Somalia. This project largely focused on enhancement of skills for sustained development of Somalia. Do Noutechnology, which simply involved the use of gunny bags to strengthen the base of a gravel road, was a welcome piece of technology in a country with limited capacity for other methods of road construction. One road was earmarked for construction through the technology. At the same time local authority representatives and local community members were set to acquire skills in use of Do Nouin road construction, by learning while the road was being constructed. Given the illiteracy levels in Somalia, on the job learning was a practical approach to skills transfer. The idea was to impact skills among local people who could hence forth make use of the technology to construct and maintain roads. The on the job learning was strategic and useful under the circumstances where theoretical training would not work.
