Implementation Stategies

This Master Plan represents the results of a six-month effort to develop strategic objectives and action plans to establish Nugaal University as the first institution of higher education in the Sool, Sanaag, Hawd, and Nugaal regions of Somalia and beyond. Implementation of the Master Plan, including the establishment of action plans and determination of resource requirements, is crucial to the success of the plan. In addition, the plan proposes to continually evaluate its appropriateness against the changing environment and to assess progress toward achieving its goals. Setting priorities, allocating budgets, and reallocating resources to the extent possible are important first steps in the implementation phase.

The University Core Committee will assume responsibilities for specific implementation tasks. Inherent in their responsibilities is the need for communicating progress to the SSH and Nugaal regional communities in a timely fashion. Focus groups will be established to provide periodic evaluation of the plan and its progress toward stated objectives, especially as conditions change or new information lead to refinement of the plan.
