A plan to renovate Egal International Airport in Hargeisa and the international airport at Berbera was agreed in December with the government of Kuwait, which will provide US$10m in funding for the projects. Somaliland's aviation minister, Mohamed Hashi Abdi, said that the state-owned Kuwait Fund would manage the allocation of funds and contracting in order to heighten the project's transparency. The basis for the agreement was laid under Somaliland's previous administration. In June 2010 a delegation of civil engineers from Kuwait visited the country to assess the needs at Berbera and Hargeisa airports.
