About NTP
The National Transformation Plan (NTP 2025-2029) is a ground-breaking, inspirational, and forward-looking document that will propel Somalia into a promising future. The plan envisions a Somalia with stable and inclusive governance, anchored on the rule of law, and a thriving, sustainable economy that can provide high-quality services and contribute to the well-being of its citizens. The NTP is centred around four key pillars, which are:
- Pillar 1: Transformational Governance
- Pillar 2 :Sustainable Economic Transformation
- Pillar 3: Social and Human Capital Transformation
- Pillar 4: Environment and Climate Resilience
Goals and Objectives of the NTP
Being a medium-term blueprint for an economically vibrant, socially thriving, environmentally resilient, and democratically stable Somalia, the development of the NTP is motivated by the collective aspirations for a better and prosperous Somalia as the country progresses towards sustainable transformation.
The NTP aligns with Somalia’s Centennial Vision 2060: “to create a prosperous, secure, democratic, inclusive, and competitive country with a high-quality life”. In pursuit of that vision, the goal of the NTP is to consolidate peace and create sustainable economic growth and improved social well-being by achieving the following core objectives:
-
Establish and strengthen institutions for transparent, accountable, and inclusive governance.
-
Foster macroeconomic stability and lay foundations for the diversification of the economy.
-
Build critical infrastructure for sustainable development, including roads, energy, public buildings, and broadband capability.
-
Increase support to the social sector for human capital development and protect the vulnerable population, particularly persons with disabilities.
-
Increase resilience to environmental and climate shocks
-
Mainstream gender equity, human rights, and inclusivity in all development policies and programs by empowering women, youth and People with Disability as drivers of growth and nation-building.
Transition from NDP to NTP
Since it gained independence in 1960, Somalia developed nine National Development Plans (NDPs); of these, seven were developed prior to the collapse of the central government, while the remaining two were drafted after 2012 during the period of recovery and state building. The lessons learned from these previous NDPs revealed that the anticipated level of development was not achieved. In a country like Somalia that is recovering from decades of civil and political unrest, a complete paradigm shift leading to huge transformation in all sectors is deemed necessary. The important progress made under NDP-9 highlighted the need for a comprehensive transformation across all sectors to address persistent challenges and unlock the country’s full potential.
In response, the government recognized the urgency of shifting from the traditional development-oriented framework to a National Transformation Plan (NTP). This strategic shift aims to accelerate the development of Somalia’s socioeconomic sectors by implementing targeted, high-impact interventions. The NTP is designed to drive real and tangible growth across all sectors, fostering economic stability, enhancing social services, and improving the overall quality of life for the Somali people.
