Somalia is at a critical juncture as the country progresses towards sustainable transformation, determined to break away from prolonged crises and fragility. Somalia wants to transform fast, make up for decades of stagnation and catch up with the rest of the world.\nIn the past two years, Somalia has made considerable progress and has undergone significant political, security and socioeconomic improvements, including (i) significant debt relief package with graduation from the Highly Indebted Poor Countries Initiative (HIPC), (ii) joining to the East Africa Community, (iii) the lifting of the UN arms embargo, (iv) increase of the domestic revenue and (v) membership in the UN Security Council. Similarly, after three decades, Somalia was included in the Human Development Report (2023-2024) and for the first time in the global Human Development Index.\nSomalia aspires to become a prosperous and peaceful country with a thriving, sustainable economy that can provide high-quality services and contribute to the well-being of its citizens, with stable and inclusive governance, anchored on the rule of law. This collective aspiration is encapsulated into Somalia’s National Transformation Plan (NTP) centered around four key pillars: Transformational Governance; Sustainable Economic Transformation; Social and Human Capital Transformation and Environment and Climate Resilience. To achieve its ambitious transformative agenda and inspiring vision of the future, the country is determined to tackle root causes of long-standing issues and address structural and systemic challenges.\nUNDP Somalia is working on a new CPD for the period 2026-2029 and it is against this backdrop-a large unfinished agenda, elevated levels of insecurity, and a more turbulent development landscape-that UNDP supports Somalia to accelerate progress towards Vision 2060.
