In a historic step toward reshaping Somalia’s future, Prime Minister H.E. Hamza Abdi Barre has officially launched the National Transformation Plan (NTP) 2025-2029 in Mogadishu, marking the beginning of a new era of strategic planning and sustainable growth for the nation. This ambitious blueprint is designed to guide Somalia’s development trajectory for the next five years, with a focus on transforming key sectors, driving long-term prosperity, and fostering resilience.
The NTP 2025-2029 outlines a comprehensive framework for economic transformation, governance reforms, and sustainable development, aiming to address the multifaceted challenges facing the country. By focusing on building a more diversified economy, strengthening governance institutions, and promoting social welfare, the plan seeks to lay the foundation for a prosperous and stable Somalia.
The launch event, which took place at the heart of Somalia’s capital, was hosted by the Ministry of Planning, Investment, and Economic Development. The ceremony brought together a diverse group of stakeholders, including senior government officials, international partners, development organizations, and representatives from various sectors of Somali society. Together, they celebrated the plan’s unveiling and committed to working collaboratively toward its successful implementation.
The NTP 2025-2029 aims to propel the nation toward sustained economic growth by diversifying its economy, improving infrastructure, and fostering investment in key sectors such as agriculture, energy, education, and healthcare. Additionally, the plan prioritizes reforms to governance structures, enhancing transparency, accountability, and inclusivity across all levels of government.
Furthermore, the NTP emphasizes social development, ensuring that the benefits of growth are equitably distributed among all citizens, particularly vulnerable communities. By building a more self-sufficient and resilient Somalia, the government aims to reduce dependency on foreign aid, promote local entrepreneurship, and stimulate job creation.
This landmark initiative is expected to bring about a transformational shift in the country’s development paradigm, enabling Somalia to move beyond its past challenges and emerge as a strong, self-reliant nation on the global stage.
As Somalia embarks on this ambitious journey, the NTP 2025-2029 is set to become the cornerstone of the nation’s path toward long-term prosperity, stability, and self-sufficiency. The government has expressed its commitment to implementing the plan with urgency, aligning efforts across all sectors to ensure that the transformative vision is realized.
