NCPD Hosts High-Level Somali Delegation on Benchmarking Visit.

The National Council for Population and Development today hosted a high-level delegation from the Federal Government of Somalia led by Hon. Mohamud A. Sheikh Farah, Minister of Planning, Investment and Economic Development, on a benchmarking visit aimed at strengthening population and development coordination.

The visit provided an opportunity for knowledge exchange on Kenya's experience in population policy development, demographic data utilization, governance structures, and multi-sectoral coordination as Somalia advances efforts to establish a National Council for Population and Development.
Speaking during the visit, NCPD Acting Director General Ms. Lucy Kimondo welcomed the delegation and underscored the importance of regional collaboration in addressing shared development priorities.
"We are delighted to host our colleagues from Somalia and share Kenya's experiences in population and development planning. Through collaboration and knowledge exchange, African countries can strengthen institutions, harness demographic opportunities, and accelerate sustainable development for the benefit of our people," said Ms. Kimondo.

The benchmarking visit is aimed to strengthen institutional capacity, promote evidence-based planning, and lay the foundation for continued collaboration between Kenya and Somalia on population and development matters.

As we look up to the moon, it reminds us of the fragility and preciousness of human life. In the words of one famous moon quote, "We are all living on borrowed time." As we watch the moon, we are reminded that human life is fleeting and fragile.

Dr. Mohamed Sheikh: There is still a lot of heavy lifting to be done in terms of our demographic indicators; child health and maternal health indicators. We have done very well in terms of the family planning program but we still need to do a lot of investments #NewsNight
