This training aims at building the capacity of government officials in Somalia to manage migration. The country's situation has stabilized in the past couple of years with the collective effort of international organizations and the new government. However, the impact of the continuing drought is projected to persist in the coming years. Such recurring crises underscore the need for medium- to long-term measures, including through the need to strengthen the capacity of government officials in managing migration with the whole-of-government approach. Under this project, the training will identify relevant entry points to support and build the capacity of stakeholders dealing with migration.
Eighteen mid- to senior-level government officials (3 female, 15 male) from the Federal Government of Somalia, the Galmudug State of Somalia, the Hirshabelle State of Somalia, the Jubbaland State of Somalia, and the Southwest State of Somalia attended the training, engaging in discussions on migration opportunities and challenges in the country.
