πͺπΊπΈπ΄EU-Somalia trade and investment
Somalia is one of 33 African countries that can export to the EU duty free and quota free under Everything But Arms, which has no expiry date. This provides a strong incentive for Somali businesses to grow.

Somali Civil Society members, led by @SONSA_NSA, participated in a consultation meeting organized by the Federal Ministry of Finance @MoF_Somalia with Civil Society Organizations to discuss the preparation of Somaliaβs 2027 National Budget.
The consultation provided an important opportunity for Civil Society Organizations to share their views, recommendations and key priorities with the Ministry of Finance, particularly on areas that require greater attention and allocation in the 2027 budget.
Civil Society representatives made a wide range of contributions, recommendations, and including calls for the Government to increase budget allocations for @moechesomalia, @MoH_Somalia, and @Somalia_NIHRC. #CSOs emphasized the importance of strengthening these sectors and ensuring that adequate resources are allocated to address the needs and rights of communities.
The participation of Civil Society in the national budget process is essential to promoting accountability, transparency and inclusive public participation, while ensuring that the national budget better reflects the needs and priorities of the Somali people.

Preserving the intricate art of weaving the Koofi Baraawe (traditional hats) keeps a vital piece of Somali cultural history alive. Handcrafted by local women, this trade does more than safeguard centuries-old skillsβit provides sustainable livelihoods and strengthens national pride both at home and across the diaspora.

The Chairperson of the Somali Civil Society @SONSA_NSA, @Osman_Moallim officially opened the follow-up consultation on Somaliaβs electoral reform process and the electoral model proposed by Somali Civil Society Organizations #CSOs.
In his opening remarks, the Chairperson reflected on the Civil Society Consultative Dialogue on Somaliaβs Electoral Reform Process, held on 22β23 July 2026, which resulted in the proposal of the Transitional Constituency-Based Multiparty Electoral Model as a practical pathway toward inclusive, credible, and peaceful elections in #Somalia.
Chairperson @Osman_Moallim provided further explanation of the proposed model, highlighting its key elements, practical implementation considerations, and its potential to contribute to building broader consensus among Somaliaβs political and electoral stakeholders.
Speaking on the importance of moving the proposal toward a clear and implementable framework, Chairperson Osman stated:
βWe need an easily laid-out and clear plan to discuss the way forward, as well as a model that works and can be successfully implemented. We have put forward our ideas, and I hope todayβs session will yield clear insights and an actionable implementation strategy.β
