The aim of this three-year strategic plan is

comprehensive assessment of the current
capacity status of the institute by exploring

DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS
Internally, the Mogadishu LGI has so far established structure and clear
chain of command in the institution, top leadership willingness, the
necessar y legal and administrative documentation and furnished working
spaces and training halls. However, the human resource capacity and
expertise of the Mogadishu LGI is extremely limited, insufficient funding and
budget ’s limit the impact and scope of works of the institute and there is
lack of Marketing strategy to the awareness of the institute.
Mogadishu - LGI 19
Therefore, the intternal strengths of the Mogadishu LGI such as the top
leadership willingness, the established legal foundations and structures
could be leveraged to address the internal weakness of the organizations
such as improving the current facilities/infrastructures, increasing budgets
so as recruit competent experts/staff and improve the capacity of the
institutions. Moreover, since the institution has now trained facilities (at least
2 halls), few clipper experts, and limited support from UNJPLG, it can use this
to maximize and leverage its opportunities by creating offensive objective
and defend against the external threats. For instance, having training
facilities (at least 2 halls) could be used to utilize the opportunity to ser ve a
general capacity building institute for not only Mogadishu municipality staff
but also for those aspiring to join the civil ser vice such as the young
graduate students, thus; creating some sort of revenue for the institutions.

IMPLEMENTATION
STRATEGY
Plans can be created but putting them into practice is more difficult than the
planning. Therefore, the executive team led by the Institute Director is responsible
to lead the implementation of the strategic plan while coordinating with the board
of the directors and BRA important departments and authorities. Below is a
diagram of the implementation of the strategy involving different units and
departments for coordination and collaboration.

Mogadishu - LGI 29
Per above diagram, the structure will enable to deliver the mission in an
efficient and effective manner. In order to ensure the strategic goals are
achieved effectively; the responsibilities and role of each of governing
bodies are indicated in the below table.
Actors/
Role
Depar tments
• The Board of Directors is the highest body and plays an important role
in setting the strategic policy directions for the institute.
• The Director who are highest persons of Mogadishu LGI, will play a role
a great role in implement the strategy.
• The Director must coordinate with the Board of Director, executive team,
The Director BRA departments and all necessar y stakeholders
• The director in coordinate with the relevant entities and teams must build
the teams and create the vision for implementation.
• All BRA depar tments are crucial for successful implementation of this
strategy. Therefore, Mogadishu LGI should coordinate, share information,
BRA departments
and discuss challenges with the relevant departments whenever
necessar y.
30 Mogadishu - LGI
To effectively implement this strategy, this document recommends the
following six basic steps to assist in the process of implementation:
a STRATEGIC DOCUMENT
EVALUATION /PRIORITIZATION
This is the first step in the implementation process. The Manager of the
Mogadishu LGI, deputies, and department heads must know what the
strategic plan is. They must review/prioritize it carefully, and highlight any
elements of the plan that might be especially challenging. It is necessar y
to identify any part of the plan that might be unrealistic or excessive in
cost, either of time or money and emphasize these, and be sure to keep
them in mind to begin implementing the strategic plan.
b VISION
c TEAM
d RESOURCE MOBILIZATION
Mogadishu - LGI 31
e MEETINGS
The Mogadishu LGI should organize consistent meetings and present the
list of goals or objectives, and let the strategic planning team know what
has been accomplished. Whether the implementation is on schedule,
ahead of schedule, or behind schedule, evaluate the current schedule
regularly to discuss any changes that need to be made. The Mogadishu
LGI leadership must establish a rewards system that recognizes success
throughout the process of implementation.
32 Mogadishu - LGI
BUDGETS/
FUNDING STRATEGY
Funding is one of the key critical factors determine the success and failure of the
strategy. Therefore, the executive team in consultation with the Board of the
Directors should come up with practical actional plan on financing the strategical
plan.
Below are the sources potential sources of funding comprising local and external
actors. The internal source of income is increasing the current annual budgets of
BRA for Mogadishu LGI while considering the budgetar y implications of the new
strategic plan. The external funding includes donors and support received from
the international organization, sponsorship of the local companies, individual
donations and course fees.
Below is a diagram of the potential source of funding for the strategic plan:

To secure funding, the managing team should work tirelessly, and coordinate
effectively with the board of directors of the Mogadishu LGI in mobilizing and fully
utilizing all available resources, and campaigning in among other potential
funders to bridge the gap. For the worst-case scenario, the current available

MONITORING AND
EVALUATION
The Mogadishu LGI will create robust monitoring and evaluation to identify
impacts, assess risks, and learn lessons and accountability. It will use result-based
monitoring framework (See attached Key Per formance Indicators (KPI) in
Annex….). However, In order to institutionalize the framework, the Mogadishu LGI
will establish a Monitoring and Evaluation unit at the institution.
The Strategic plan M&E framework is expected to guide the individual directorates
to take up leadership in the implementation process and enhance the envisioned
per formance. Detailed work-plans and operational manuals will therefore be
developed.
The strategic objectives will be translated into departmental targets which in turn
will be used to formulate programs or projects as well as individual per formance
targets. The actual per formance of various administrative levels will be monitored
continually and evaluated at the end of the period against the agreed targets in
the Per formance Agreement (PA).
The PA will also be used for staff per formance appraisals. At each point of
evaluation of the per formance and achievement of the strategic plan, the
management will use data and evidence generated to make decisions on
resource allocations, human resource rationalization, or review of priority, content
and scope of the programs.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The Strategic Plan will be evaluated on quarterly and annual basis and at
the end of the plan period by committee nominated by the board of the
directors to ensure that it remains relevant, feasible and delivers outputs
that contribute to sustainable development.
