Policy Advocacy

SIED plays a crucial role in shaping entrepreneurship policies in Somalia. Our Policy Advocacy program ensures that the voices of Somali entrepreneurs are heard in key policy discussions. We work closely with government bodies, policymakers, and industry leaders to influence the development of regulations that foster a supportive business environment. Our advocacy efforts aim to reduce barriers, improve access to resources, and promote fair competition, creating an ecosystem where Somali entrepreneurs can thrive and contribute to the nation’s growth.

SIED believes that effective advocacy must be rooted in research and practical insights. Through our data-driven policy recommendations, we provide policymakers with actionable solutions that address the challenges faced by entrepreneurs. Our recommendations focus on driving systemic change to create a more favorable environment for entrepreneurship in Somalia. We work to influence policies that foster innovation, sustainable business growth, and broader economic impact, supporting long-term development.

We advocate for entrepreneurs by identifying barriers and proposing solutions based on their needs. By participating in discussions with decision-makers, SIED helps shape regulations that foster business growth. Our goal is to reduce bureaucratic burdens and ensure Somali entrepreneurs have the support they need to succeed.
