In order to enhance Somaliland’s maternal and infant health care capacity, the government of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the government of the Republic of Somaliland have commenced the "Maternal and Infant Health Care Improvement Project" under the framework of the “ICDF (International Cooperation and Development Fund) Technical Cooperation Agreement”. This bilateral cooperation demonstrates the spirit of “Taiwan model” assistance which not only provides vital tangible equipment, but also enhances the capacity-building.
The "Maternal and Infant Health Care Improvement Program" is a joint effort of Taiwan Representative Office in the Republic of Somaliland, Taiwan ICDF, Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital and the Ministry of Health Development of Somaliland. According to the signed implementing arrangement, Taiwan agreed to fund to purchase vital medical equipment. We cherish every infant is Somaliland’s hope so that are glad to share experience with Somaliland to help infants and their mothers to have better medical care.
Taiwan Representative Office in the Republic of Somaliland tries to integrate the ongoing cooperation to maximize the cooperation effect to benefit the Somaliland people directly and without leaving any “debt traps”. That is the Taiwan-model cooperation in Somaliland.
We believe that after more and more African countries understand what is Taiwan-model cooperation in Somaliland, they will further to support “Let Taiwan help”.
