Ministers in charge of humanitarian affairs at the regional level traveled to Mogadishu for a meeting with the Somali Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA).
State ministers of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management met with the SoDMA representatives on September 16.
They met to chart a common cause in the face of the devastating drought that continues to ravage the entire country.
The ministers were from the regional states of Jubbaland, Galmudug, HirShabelle, Southwest, and Puntland.
They vowed to create a platform through which SoDMA and the Federal Member States (FMS) would create much stronger linkages and coordination.
