Nairobi, Kenya: The National Communications Authority (NCA) of Somalia and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a World Bank subsidiary, signed a landmark cooperation agreement today aimed at enhancing telecommunications infrastructure in Somalia.

The agreement, which took place in Nairobi, Kenya, focuses on improving broadband infrastructure with IFC providing both financial and technical support. This initiative is expected to significantly boost connectivity across Somalia, facilitating access to modern telecommunications that are crucial for innovation and economic growth.

Ambassador Jabril Ibrahim Abdulle, addressing attendees at the signing ceremony, emphasized the importance of this partnership in advancing Somalia’s connectivity and telecommunications capabilities.

“The promotion of innovation and the economic development of Somalia require access to modern telecommunications that are compatible with the world,” stated Ambassador Abdulle.

The rollout of high-speed internet in Somalia has already begun to transform the lives of citizens and businesses, creating new opportunities and stimulating various sectors. This agreement is seen as a visionary step toward furthering Somalia’s development and prosperity.

Mustafa Yusuf Sheikh, Director general of the National communications Authority, expressed gratitude to the IFC for its critical role in the development of Somali telecommunications. He highlighted the transformative potential of this cooperation in driving Somalia’s technological progress.

This landmark agreement highlights the commitment of both the NCA and IFC to advancing Somalia’s telecommunications infrastructure, setting a strong foundation for future innovations and economic development. The partnership is expected to enhance connectivity, foster innovation, and open up new economic opportunities for the Somali people.
