Mogadishu, (SONNA) – The President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, has officially launched the Centennial Vision 2060 (CV2060) — a bold, long-term development roadmap that aims to transform Somalia into a peaceful, resilient, and upper-middle-income country by the year 2060.

The unveiling ceremony, held in Mogadishu, brought together high-level government officials, representatives from federal member states, development partners, diplomats, and policy experts. The Vision lays out a national framework built on inclusive consultation and aligns closely with continental goals such as the African Union’s Agenda 2063.

Speaking at the event, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud emphasized the urgency of national unity, shared responsibility, and long-term planning.

“We are grateful to the world for their continued support to Somalia, and we must now realize the aspirations of Somalis who want to compete globally,” said the President.

The Vision 2060 framework was developed by Somali experts in collaboration with international partners, including the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UN-ECA). It is structured around seven National Transformation Phases (NTPs), with the first five-year plan — NTP 2025–2029 — already launched earlier this year.

Prime Minister H.E. Hamza Abdi Barre reiterated the importance of national participation in implementing the vision.

“Every Somali must take part in achieving the goals of Centennial Vision 2060,” he stated.

The Executive Secretary of the UN-ECA, Claver Gatete, who traveled to Mogadishu for the occasion, described the Vision as a model of ambition and collaboration.

“I am delighted to be in Mogadishu ahead of the launch of the Centennial Vision 2060 — Somalia’s 35-year bold new transformation roadmap.”

Kenneth Mwige, Director General of the Kenya Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat, delivered a keynote address at the official launch of Centennial Vision 2060 (CV2060).

He emphasized that CV2060 is not only Somalia’s national vision but also a vital contribution to Africa’s broader development agenda.

Somalia’s Centennial Vision 2060 prioritizes key areas such as infrastructure, human capital, governance, economic diversification, and climate resilience — all critical to securing lasting peace and prosperity.

As the country enters this ambitious new chapter, the government has called on all Somalis, at home and abroad, to contribute to the realisation of a shared national future. The launch of Vision 2060 marks not just a planning milestone, but a historic opportunity for Somalia to define its path on its own terms — guided by its people, rooted in hope, and aiming for global competitiveness.

Qimiao Fan, World Bank Country Director for Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, and Uganda, delivered remarks at the official launch of Centennial Vision 2060 (CV2060). He praised Somalia’s commitment to its long-term vision and affirmed the World Bank’s ongoing support.

He noted the Bank has been, and will remain, a key partner in achieving the goals of CV2060.

George Conway, Deputy Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General and Resident Coordinator for Somalia, spoke at the official launch of Centennial Vision 2060 (CV2060).

He expressed his delight in witnessing this milestone and affirmed the UN’s continued commitment to supporting Somalia’s development. He emphasized that the UN in Somalia stands ready to be part in realizing the ambitious goals of CV2060.

Amb. Karin Johansson, Ambassador of the European Union to Somalia, delivered remarks at the official launch of Centennial Vision 2060 (CV2060), expressing her appreciation for being part of this significant moment.

She emphasized that the European Union is committed to supporting Somalia on its path toward peace, prosperity, and sustainable development, and stands ready to contribute to the realization of the CV2060 goals over the coming decades.

Hassan Adam Hosow, Chief Economic Advisor to the President and Executive Director of the National Economic Council in Somalia, delivered the opening remarks at the CV2060 launch, welcoming distinguished guests and national leaders.

He highlighted CV2060 as a bold and strategic roadmap toward a peaceful, and prosperous Somalia.
