KISMAYO —<\/strong> As part of its Quick Impact Projects, the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) has built and equipped a five-classroom block at the Ahmed Gurrey School complex in Kismayo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This new educational facility, funded by the Italian government, was officially handed over by ATMIS on Monday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEducation is key to national development in Somalia and across Africa. It\u2019s essential for promoting peace, stability, and growth. This project shows ATMIS\u2019s commitment to the crucial role of education in shaping Somalia\u2019s future,\u201d stated Maj. Gen. Marius Ngendabanka, ATMIS Deputy Force Commander in charge of Operations and Plans, at the project\u2019s official opening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Jubaland State Deputy Minister for Education and Culture, Mukhtar Kamil Kule, representing the state\u2019s administration and the local community, thanked ATMIS for supporting education in the federal member state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cATMIS KDF troops have contributed significantly to our national development in addition to maintaining security and providing our children a quiet place to learn. Although we are talking about education today, in Kismayo, it was impossible to discuss education eleven years before the arrival of ATMIS,\u201d said the deputy minister.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He further noted, \u201cthe education sector in Somalia has greatly benefited from ATMIS support\u201d through the construction of schools, the supply of education materials, capacity-building to improve quality teaching and learning and creating a conducive learning environment for students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the Stabilisation and Early Recovery programme, ATMIS continues to support Somalia\u2019s educational development by building school infrastructure through the Quick Impact Projects (QIPs) in areas liberated from the control of Al-Shabaab.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Senior Civil Affairs Officer for ATMIS, Dr Opiyo Ododa, commended the cooperation between ATMIS and Jubaland State authorities which has facilitated the implementation of Quick Impact Projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cATMIS considers education a key element for developing a country. We put our efforts into building schools, hospitals, and police stations in Kismayo. We are happy to work collaboratively with Jubaland government,\u201d said Dr Ododa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In attendance at the event were ATMIS Sector-Six Commander Brig. Gen. Lukas Kutto, 2nd Mechanized Infantry Battalion Commander Lt. Col. Eric Lovega, along\u00a0<\/span>with officials from the Jubaland State administration and the school\u2019s management team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
