Acting executive director of UNCHS (Habitat), Klaus Toepfer, together with Ambassador Sciortino, the Italian Special Envoy to Somalia, and Duarte Carvalho, the Counsellor of the EC, launched the US $1.5m project in Berbera before travelling to Hargeisa to meet President Egal. The Berbera project, described by Toepfer as "a partnership towards peace and development in Somaliland", is intended to improve the institutional capacity of the municipality by providing technical and institutional assistance, particularly on financial and urban management.
