The Somalia–IsDB Country Engagement Framework 2026–28 marks an important milestone in our post-HIPC partnership with IsDB. This US$45 million package will help advance resilient infrastructure, human capital development, and economic transformation, supporting Somalia’s long-term growth and development ambitions.
A Japanese expert highlights what many in the world still overlook: the Republic of Somaliland stands as a peaceful and democratic nation built on the will of its people.
From Tokyo to Hargeisa, shared values of peace, discipline and people-driven governance are clear. Somaliland’s strong civic participation and vibrant media reflect a society deeply committed to democracy.
When voices from #Japan recognize Somaliland’s stability and democratic progress, it sends a powerful message — shared values can build bridges long before formal recognition.

Somalia takes a major leap in modernizing public finance!
I was proud to present the Public Finance Management Digitalization Regulation 2025 to the Cabinet for approval yesterday. It is a landmark step toward making government finances more transparent, accountable, and efficient.
With this reform, payments and PFM processes go paperless, boosting efficiency while protecting our environment, and leapfrogging #Somalia into the forefront of PFM digitalization globally.
The regulation introduces secure e-signatures, interoperable fiscal data systems, and ethical AI while advancing critical platforms like SFMIS. It strengthens budget execution, revenue collection, and reporting while reducing fraud risks. This will further strengthen donor confidence, economic stability, and create a better future for our nation and people.

@WorldGovSummit Thank you for giving this great opportunity to the people of Somaliland; it’s a bravery action to show the world how Somaliland is different from its neighbor countries; a beacon of democracy in the horn.
