World Bank Reaches Out to Somalia
The World Bank issued a press release dated 25 September 2018 titled "World Bank Group's First Strategy for Somalia to Support Inclusive Growth and Resilience."
In an important change of policy, the World Bank endorsed the first four-year Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Somalia and approved two investment programs worth $80 million. As the country's first development strategy since the early 1990s, the CPF reflects the progress of economic reform and institution building since 2013 when the Bank reengaged with Somalia.

South Sudan: Female Representation in SPLM
The Juba-based Sudd Institute issued on 15 January 2013 a brief study titled "SPLM Politics of Gender Equity" by Augustino Ting Mayai, director of research at the Sudd Institute.
While the study noted that women constitute 26.5 percent of parliamentary seats in South Sudan, i.e. exceeding the 25 percent quota, it concluded that the SPLM failed to enforce effectively its gender equity policy of 25 percent in nearly all other sectors of politics and the executive branch.
