Somalia in 2030: A Vision for Peace and Prosperity

-

 Somalia is a country that has faced many challenges in the past, such as civil war, famine, piracy, terrorism, and poverty. However, Somalia is also a country that has shown resilience, courage, and determination to overcome these difficulties and achieve its potential. In this blog post, I will explore some of the possible scenarios and opportunities for Somalia in 2030, based on the current trends and the aspirations of the Somali people.


Political Stability and Security

One of the main prerequisites for Somalia’s development is political stability and security. Somalia has made significant progress in this regard, with the successful completion of the electoral process in 2021, the formation of a federal government, and the adoption of a new constitution. Somalia has also strengthened its relations with its neighbors and the international community and has received support for its peacebuilding and state-building efforts.

However, Somalia still faces threats from extremist groups such as Al-Shabaab, which continue to carry out attacks against civilians and security forces. Somalia also needs to address the unresolved issues of federalism, power-sharing, resource allocation, and reconciliation among its diverse regions and clans. To achieve lasting peace and stability, Somalia will need to enhance its security sector reform, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of former combatants, human rights protection, rule of law, and justice delivery.

Economic Growth and Social Development

Another key factor for Somalia’s future is economic growth and social development. Somalia has a rich natural and human resource base, with a long coastline, fertile land, livestock, fisheries, minerals, oil and gas potential, and a young and entrepreneurial population. Somalia also has a vibrant diaspora community that contributes to the country’s economy through remittances, trade, investment, and skills transfer.

Somalia has taken steps to improve its economic governance, fiscal management, debt relief, public financial management, anti-corruption measures, and private sector development. Somalia has also joined the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which offers opportunities for regional integration and market access. Somalia has also prioritized its social sectors, such as health, education, water, sanitation, nutrition, and social protection.

However, Somalia still faces many challenges in achieving inclusive and sustainable growth and development. Somalia suffers from high levels of poverty, inequality, unemployment, food insecurity, malnutrition, illiteracy, maternal and child mortality, and environmental degradation. Somalia also needs to cope with the impacts of climate change, natural disasters, desertification, droughts, floods, locust invasions, and pandemics. To address these challenges, Somalia will need to diversify its economy, invest in infrastructure, promote innovation, enhance human capital, empower women and youth, protect vulnerable groups, and foster social cohesion.

Alignment with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

Somalia’s vision for 2030 is closely aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are a global blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet. Somalia has integrated the SDGs into its national development plan (NDP-9), which covers the period from 2020 to 2024. Somalia has also established a national SDG steering committee, a technical working group, and a data platform to coordinate, monitor, and report on the implementation of the SDGs.

The United Nations in Somalia is supporting Somalia’s efforts to achieve the SDGs through its Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNCF) for 2021-2025. The UNCF is based on four strategic priorities: inclusive politics and reconciliation; security and the rule of law; economic development and social protection; and resilience and environmental sustainability. The UNCF aims to leverage the comparative advantages of the UN agencies, funds, and programs to deliver coherent, effective, and efficient support to Somalia.

Conclusion

Somalia in 2030 is a vision that can be realized if all stakeholders work together towards a common goal. Somalia has made remarkable progress in recent years, but it also faces formidable challenges that require sustained commitment and action. Somalia has the potential to become a peaceful, prosperous, and resilient nation that can contribute to regional and global stability and development. The UN stands ready to support Somalia in achieving this vision.
