Mogadishu, Somalia – June 25, 2025 – Somalia’s Federal Government has received a significant financial injection, with the European Union announcing a €10.5 million budget support grant. This crucial funding aims to bolster public services and education, key priorities for the Somali government. The announcement follows a productive meeting today between Somalia’s Minister of Finance, Bihi Iman Ige, and a high-level EU delegation in Mogadishu.

The EU delegation, comprising the Head of the EU for East African countries, the EU Representative to Somalia, and the Head of Strategic Planning for Risk Management, underscored the importance of the discussions. The meeting’s agenda focused on the advancements in Somalia’s financial reform processes, efforts to modernize revenue sources, and strengthening the country’s ties with international financial institutions.

During the extensive deliberations, the European Union’s pivotal role in supporting Somalia’s financial stability, particularly through consistent budget support, was a central theme. Minister Ige conveyed his profound gratitude to the EU countries for their unwavering assistance, acknowledging its vital contribution to Somalia’s ongoing recovery and development.

The €10.5 million grant, as confirmed by the EU Office in Somalia, is specifically allocated to enhance essential public services and the education sector. These areas have been rigorously prioritized by the Somali government in recent years, reflecting a commitment to improving the lives of its citizens. This financial aid further highlights the EU’s continued dedication to Somalia’s state-building efforts and its focus on fostering sustainable development across critical sectors.

The partnership between Somalia and the European Union has proven instrumental in the East African nation’s journey to overcome decades of conflict and challenges. The EU’s consistent financial backing, which includes substantial contributions since 2014, is designed to empower the Somali government to implement crucial financial governance reforms and expand access to vital social services for its populace.
