University of Hargeisa - Ahmed Mahamoud Silanyo,United Nations Development Programme,Somali National University

The University of Hargeisa (UOH) is a public university located in Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, a self-declared republic that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of Somalia. The university has over 2,600 students, and operates on a four to six year system. The university was founded in 2000.Livestock is the backbone of the nation s economy. About 50-60% of the population are classified as pastoralists, and another 20% as agro-pastoralists. The 1997 official government statistics estimates total livestock population in the country at around 23.5 million heads. Yet there are only about three dozen qualified veterinarians in the whole country, which means a doctor/stock ratio of about 1: 653,000, and there are no training institutions (apart from a middle level technical institute recently opened in Sheikh), or research facilities to support this vital sector.
