UNOPS is funding the upgrading of the Airport? That is quite unique, most of these UN agencies are worthless and hardly fund infrastructural projects. I don't how Faroole pulled this off, but it definitely deserves appraisal for actually getting the UN to fund something relevant.

It is a smart move, even though UNOPS is the implementing agency, the Italian government, and to a lesser extent Puntland government are the funding bodies. That airport never lacked suitable funders, every time the deal breaker was who gonna implement the project.

 

I wonder if Nomad knowledgeable in these kind of projects can shun a light what sort of Airport this will be after completion (if done according to the plan).

 

Below is the TECHNICAL DESIGNS AND DRAWINGS Document:

nothing is this transparent.

 

either this is a formality because the contractor has already been chosen or it's a gimmick.

 

judging by PL's ability to ''shock and awe''. i don't know what to think.
