SDI is the hub for Somalia’s most critical development programmes — each one aligned to the NTP 2025–2029 and the Centennial Vision 2060.
These three programmes are open for participation now.
The core framework: simultaneously developing human capital and physical infrastructure. Connecting the Somali diaspora with local youth through mentorship, while designing world-class clinics, schools, and roads.
A high-trust expert dictionary cataloguing Somali professionals across governance, healthcare, legal systems, and social services. The foundation of every mentorship and advisory pipeline SDI operates.
A structured 6-month cohort pairing top Somali youth (the top 5% of local talent) with world-class diaspora experts. Focused on healthcare systems, public administration, and institutional governance.
These programmes are being built now. Get involved early.
Somalia’s first white paper on national infrastructure standards — climate-resilient, renewable-energy-ready blueprints for clinics, schools, and roads built to global benchmarks. Not “good enough” — world-class.
A permanent physical and digital centre in Somalia where the Knowledge Collective convenes to solve national challenges. From infrastructure design to policy research and technology development.
Transitioning diaspora contributions from remittances to structured national investment. Funding scholarships, infrastructure builds, and Leadership Accelerator cohorts directly inside Somalia.
