UNDP-USA Executive Director Visits Somalia

Elizabeth Latham, UNDP-USA Executive Director, recently returned from a visit to Somalia to see some of the work that UNDP is engaged in.

Somalia is a conservative Muslim nation and I was impressed to see that in some areas women are being empowered, thanks to investments in education.
