Final project kismayo port: port has long history due to being natural harbor wont do history on it.
Immediately upon achieving independence, the government approached the United States for assistance to finance the construction of a new deep water port in Kismayo. The United States Agency for International Development (. USAID ) agreed to the project, and the construction of the port which was began in 1964 was completed in 1967.
Due to the unfavourable technical conditions existing in Somalia which could not suit the design of the port structure C hollow bridge supported by concrete and timber piles ) and as a result of poor maintenance,the port had suffered considerable damages. The financial input that was needed to rehabilitate the port which included a major component of foreign exchange, was beyond the economic ability of the Somali government, and the United States Government again generously accepted to remedy the damages, with a total sum of
US$ 42 millions which is more than the original project cost by 320%. The rehabilitation work was started in 1985
