The government of Somalia has signed a $92.6 million development agreement with the United States government to promote resilience, stability, economic growth, and governance.
The minister of planning of the government of Somalia, Mohamud Abdirahman Beenebene, one of the ministers who signed this agreement, said that this economic agreement is important for the recovery of the humanitarian situation in the country.
Minister Beene Beene said this support is the second in two years. He said last year that USIAD implemented projects in Somalia that cost more than $70 million.
The minister said that this project should be developed specifically for economic growth, resistance to challenges, empowerment of youth and women and children’s education plans.
This agreement reflects, as the minister said, the deep cooperation between the United States and Somalia.
On the other hand, Somalia’s Minister of Finance, Bihi Iman Cige, said that this support has come at an important time when Somalia is fighting to liberate the country from the Al-Shabaab group.
Minister Bihi said that many freed lands need to be provided with basic services.
