Somalia has started a programme to rebuild its electricity grid, signalling a further step to emerge from years of violence in which most state institutions and agencies were destroyed.
Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre officially launched the Somali Electricity Sector Recovery Project (SESRP) on Wednesday, aiming at increasing access to affordable and reliable electricity to the Somali people, as well as re-establishing the electricity supply industry across Somalia.
