Food and Agriculture Organization Galkayo Site Civil Engineer


FAO is implementing livestock related infrastructural interventions in especially in Galkayo North and South, as part of the EC and Italian support to livestock marketing and processing infrastructure programme. The programme is aimed at constructing two local slaughterhouses, constructing one meat market, rehabilitating one meat market and constructing one livestock market in Galkayo Municipalities (North and South). The successful completion of well equipped slaughterhouses with ancillary facilities and rehabilitation of meat markets will promote compliance with food safety standards set up by World Animal Health Organization (OIE) and Codex Alimentarius Commission of World Health Organization/Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (WHO/FAO). FAO is implementing two projects in the two municipalities titled; Improvement of livelihood of vulnerable households in urban and peri-urban areas OF GALKAYO; funded by EC. It is being implemented together with ILO which is the lead agency and Terre Solidali (TS) for establishment of PPP for facilities management. This project will support construction of the two slaughterhouses, one meat market and rehabilitation of one meat markets; one each in Galkayo North and South. A second project is titled; “Support and Diversification of Livelihood Opportunities in Urban/Peri-Urban Centres of Puntland” funded by Italian government for construction of one livestock market in Galkayo North.
The new modern slaughterhouses and rehabilitated meat markets will facilitate meat producers to comply with food safety and quality assurance systems of Good Hygiene Practices (GHP), Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), Sanitary Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP) and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system principles. Compliance with these systems will mitigate simple preventable foodborne diseases like E. coli, Salmonellosis, Campylobacteriosis among others that can otherwise be transmitted to consumers through unhygienically produced and retailed meat. High hygiene meat production and retail standards will further reduce microbiological contamination with spoilage bacteria like Pseudomonas that reduce the shelf life of meat causing early meat spoilage. This causes meat retailers to incur huge economic losses. Furthermore, provision of ancillary facilities and equipments will promote safe recovery of white offal and hides and skins that are currently discarded on site. This will contribute to improved incomes and create more jobs for all interest groups.
The livestock marketing basic infrastructure constructed under the Italian project will guarantee better handling of livestock and a reduction in livestock losses due to improper handling and thermal stress. The animal sheds and loading ramps will improve the welfare of the animals, protect them from physical injuries, thermal stress and related depression and provide conducive opportunities for humane loading practices respectively. The perimeter fence will safeguard the livestock market from private developers and ensure security of livestock overnight among other facilities that will be put up.
