3. Why This Matters 1 🌍 Protect the Ozone Layer & Climate ✅ Phase out Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) 2 ✅ Control high-GWP refrigerants (HFCs) 3 ✅ Improve energy efficiency in cooling 4 ✅ Access funding from the Multilateral Fund (MLF) 5

4. Somaliland – Current Status ⚠️ No National Ozone Unit (NOU) ✅ Lighting inspections exist at ports (QCC) ⚠️ No formal Montreal Protocol programs 📌 Opportunity: Be included in global and regional programs ⚠️ Limited data on refrigerants & appliances

5. Step-by-Step Implementation Roadmap Phase 1: Institutional Setup 1 • Designate a National Ozone Unit (NOU) • Assign focal point within Ministry of Environment • Set up coordination with Customs, QCC, Energy, TVET Phase 2: Engage International Partners • Submit official request to: • UNEP OzonAction Africa • UNIDO Montreal Protocol Division 2 • Request support for: • ODS inventory • HPMP preparation • Training & awareness Phase 3: Develop National Inventory • Conduct refrigerant survey: • Imports, usage, servicing sectors • Engage QCC, customs, cold chain stakeholders • Use UNEP Quick Start Inventory Tool 3

6. Strengthen Port Controls 1 🛃 Involve QCC and Customs Apply HS Codes to refrigerants 2 Inspect imported cooling equipment (next after lighting) 3 Ban or restrict illegal/ODS-laden products 4 Train officers on safe refrigerants (R-600a, R-290, CO₂) 5

7. Develop & Enforce Policies 1 📜 Draft laws & regulations to: • License technicians • Ban non-compliant refrigerants • Promote energy-efficient and low-GWP alternatives 2 🛠️ Align with: • Montreal Protocol • Kigali Amendment • Regional efforts (e.g. EELA, K-CEP)

8. Build Technical Capacity 👨🔧 Train: 1 • Servicing technicians (good practices, safety) • Customs & QCC inspectors • Refrigeration importers & cold room operators 📍 Use UNEP’s Cool Training platform 2 📍 Partner with TVETs, GIZ, UNDP 3

9. Join Regional Networks 1 🌐 Connect with: • UNEP Africa Network of Ozone Officers • Kigali Cooling Efficiency Program (K-CEP) • Africa Cooling Initiative 2 🤝 Share lessons & access resources

10. Potential Benefits for Somaliland 💰 Access to Multilateral Fund financing 🛑 Prevent illegal or outdated refrigerant imports 📈 Safer and more efficient refrigeration market 🎓 Capacity building for local technicians and regulators 🌿 Reduced environmental and climate impacts

11. Immediate Next Steps 1 ✅ Endorse designation of NOU ✅ Approve letter to UNEP/UNIDO (draft available) 2 ✅ Begin inter-agency coordination 3 ✅ Plan refrigerant inventory & technician training 4

12. Conclusion & Call to Action Let Somaliland lead in sustainable cooling and ozone protection. It starts with commitment – and collaboration. 📝 We seek your approval to begin implementation.
