Description: While assistance is required in all sectors of the Somali economy, infrastructure is particularly important, as it is the base of all productive and social activities. Thus, the efficient and effective intermediation of development assistance targeted towards the rehabilitation and development of Somalia’s infrastructure sub-sectors (Energy, Transport, Water & Sanitation, and ICT) is a top priority. In this regard, the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) intends to play an increasingly important role in attracting foreign development assistance and private investment toward infrastructure. This will play a critical role in accelerating Somalia’s inclusive and sustainable economic recovery, peace and state building.
