Somali Government Seeks Private Sector Partnership to Accelerate Infrastructure Projects

He added that additional road projects are in planning and design stages, including routes linking different regions and neighbouring countries.

Yusuf also referred to urban development initiatives, including drainage projects in Mogadishu, for which officials said initial funding of about $70 million had been secured.

Chairman of SORECA, Abdirisaaq Ali Warsame, said construction activity is expanding across Somalia’s regions, with companies involved in housing, roads and large-scale urban projects.

“Across the country, there are major construction projects underway, from residential developments to roads and high-rise buildings,” he said, adding that the association is open to wider participation from firms and stakeholders.

Somalia has been rebuilding infrastructure after years of conflict, with increasing involvement from private contractors and external partners.
