Siciid1986 Posted March 21, 2013 The SDC, has now launched its new website. The website will help to bring investors and host communities together as well as act a platform through which to share news and information on the SDCs activities and projects. The SDC (Somaliland Development Corporation) was founded in 2011 and is part of a process that seeks to better integrate the Horn region of Africa into the international community. The organisation aims to increase outside investment in Somaliland – and the surrounding Horn of Africa – by providing a secure, professional and mutually beneficial environment for investors and local communities to interact. The Founding Board Members of the SDC comprise President of the British branch of the International Law Association, Jeremy Carver CBE; former UK Ambassador to Ethiopia and Independent Vice-Chair of the Westminster Foundation for Democracy, Dr Myles Wickstead CBE; Resources Sector Executive and Investment Specialist, Leoned (Len) Tiahlo and ex-Somaliland Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Dr Rashid Hassan. In addition to the four founders, the SDC is supported by its Director Edna Adan Ismail, a UN diplomat, French Legion of Honour recipient and former Foreign Minister of Somaliland. The SDC benefits from their combined knowledge of the natural resources and political climate of Eastern Africa and international law. The SDC assists in negotiating mutually beneficial contracts in order to ensure that they are enforceable under international law, thus supporting the sustainability of relationships, transparency of business practices and full accountability for both parties. This in turn provides the local host communities with greater capacity and access to quality investors – which improves choice and creates opportunity to interact and negotiate with the international business community. Somaliland is an area in the Horn of Africa rich in natural resources. The SDC works closely with local communities to increase their understanding of the potential of their local resources and the accompanying business environment. http://www.sdc-africa.com/home/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
