This explores IHI’s strategic initiative to align the interests of the Somali private sector with national economic policy frameworks. We take a deep dive into our recent study on youth entrepreneurship, identifying the barriers and opportunities for Somalia’s next generation of innovators. Furthermore, the post highlights the transformative role of diaspora remittances—not just as a safety net, but as a critical driver of investment in Mogadishu’s expanding economy. By facilitating policy dialogues that bring together business leaders and government actors, IHI provides the data-driven guidance and foresight necessary to transition from fragile economic states to long-term recovery and sustainable job creation.
