Somalia officially launched its National Transformation Plan (NTP) for 2025-2029 on Monday, marking a significant step toward sustainable development and economic growth.
This comprehensive five-year strategy focuses on key areas such as infrastructure development, education, healthcare, and job creation, aiming to address critical socio-economic challenges and promote long-term prosperity.
The NTP is structured around four core pillars. First is transformational governance, which places emphasis on enhancing institutional capacity, promoting transparency, and fostering political stability.
Next is sustainable economic transformation,which encourages industrialization, expanding private sector opportunities, and advancing infrastructure development.
The third component is social and human capital development that revolves around improving access to quality education, healthcare, and employment opportunities.
Fourth factor is environmental and climate resilience where the implementation of climate adaptation policies and sustainable resource management initiatives is prioritised.
This plan aligns with Somalia’s National Vision 2060 and international development agendas, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the African Union Agenda 2063.
It emphasizes inclusivity, transparency, sustainability, and collaboration across various sectors to ensure effective implementation and measurable outcomes.
The Federal Government of Somalia acknowledges the invaluable support of its national and international partners, including the United Nations, the World Bank, the African Development Bank, and bilateral donors, in the formulation of the NTP.
Their continued collaboration reflects a shared vision of advancing Somalia’s development agenda.
The successful execution of the NTP is expected to be a pivotal step in Somalia’s journey toward sustainable development, setting the stage for the nation’s advancement toward its long-term goals.
