This college was established to cover the higher education needs of the Bardera area community, which has been growing since the start of the 1990s.

Bardera Polytechnic is founded to fulfill the education and training needs of Gedo region's largest district.

Keeping this in mind, it was an urgent need to set up institutes and specialised centers to further develop the skills of the community.

Bardera Polytechnic's founding of Jubba Valley Veterinary Institute was another major boost for the economic lifeline of Southern Somalia.

Herders of the main three livestock types in Somalia, camel, cattle and ari (goats and sheep) will have some help in safeguarding the animals they lose each year to preventable and treatable diseases.

Mashruuca Gosha iyo Gendiga was a Somali central government project which was founded in the early 1970s and it focused on treating and preventing diseases caused by large flies which were infested in Jubba Valley forests.

The university used to dispatch team of agricultural and veterinary scientists and their students to help farmers and herders to formulate better management ways.

Another center aimed at developing the economy of the region and furthering the skills of the community is Juba Valley Agricultural Institute.

The Dean (Hormuud) of Bardera Polytechnic University, Mohamed Abdullahi Barre, is also the head of this department until suitable person is found.

Bardera Polytechnic College is planned to play a role in the education and economic development of Gedo region's largest district.

Top three most needed skills in Bardera region are related in the areas of health (including veterinary), agriculture and construction.

Similarly, Bardera Polytechnic plans to include its student body fast numbers of girls, as women have taken many leading roles at community services which have supported the betterment of the Somali people ever since the collapse of the central government.

Hospitals in Hargeisa, Bardera, Mogadishu, Kismayo, Belet Weyn and other large cities in Somalia currently employ mostly or exclusively female nurses, pharmacists, administrators and medical technicians as there are no trained doctors present in the country.

Somali female doctors and nurses are increasingly taking leadership roles at health centers throughout Somalia whether in the north, central or south.

Keeping this in mind, Bardera Polytechnic plans to recruit women and girls for all programs including administrative and training positions.

All other medical programs at Bardera Polytechnic emphasize the importance of ethics in all aspects of business activities, whether dealing with private entities or non-for-profit institutions that carry out public services.

Expected participants include administrators, principals and school board members from HIRDA, SEHO, University of Gedo and Markabley Educational Foundation.

Gedo Education Committee (GEC) leader Ahmed Abdirahman Kaynan was the lead expert in 2010 gathering.
