Background

The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has extended a request to
the UN Joint Programmer on Youth Employment and the ILO for the design
of the a comprehensive National Employment Strategy (NES) for Somalia.
The NES will be guided by the Somalia National Development plan(NDP)
2017-2019. The UN Strategic Framework (2017-2020), based on the NDP,
provides further reference.

The “Somali owned and Somali led” NDP process has set many targets
aimed at promoting peace/state building, and has mainstreamed the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) After a chaotic and violent
1991-2011 period, basic federal states structures have been
established in most of part of  Somalia. Progress made with the
implementation of the Peace and State Building Goals of the New Deal
Compact in 2013-2016 has been encouraging, but significant progress
still needs to be made. Promoting the sort of economic development
that allows to generate productive and decent jobs for Somalia is
among the first priories of the NDP. Internal displacement is still
widespread and associated with high levels of unemployment and poor
economic participation. Historically low levels  of female labour
market participation, high level of youth unemployment or
underemployment, broken educational trajectories, or the large
fraction of the workforce having suffered physical or psychological
trauma are major challenges to be addressed the nexus between few and
poor quality work opportunities, criminal activity and radicalization
is a major concern for the stability of a still fragile country.
