Overview:
About the MIDA FINNSOM III, Health and
Education Project
The
past decades have seen continued migration from various African countries,
causing a “brain drain” that has debilitated various public sector systems
across the continent. Through the IOM Migration for Development in Africa
(MIDA) programme, Somali diaspora professionals have supported institutional
capacity building, service delivery, and policy development of health and
education institutions across Somalia since 2015.
The
MIDA FINNSOM PHASE III – Health & Education project – contributes to
strengthening the Health and Education sectors in Somalia towards achieving
specific priorities in the Education Sector Strategic Plan (ESSP) and the
Essential Package for Health Services (EPHS), as prioritized and outlined by
the government. The project aims to do so by engaging and enhancing the role of
qualified Somali diaspora experts willing to temporarily return to their
country of origin. In particular, through assignments within key ministries and
public institutions (including hospitals and universities), Somali diaspora
experts contribute addressing gaps and enhancing strengths in the planning and
delivery of health and education services, coherently with the needs identified
through the dedicated baseline assessment conducted during the inception phase
of the project. Furthermore, a component of the project is devoted toward
contributing to the creation of stable and sustainable access to employment
opportunities in the health and education sectors for local experts and
interns, who will work in close coordination with the Somali diaspora experts -
therefore reaping long-terms benefits of knowledge transfer, competencies
sharing and skills development.
