Somalia's Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed presented the 2014 Work Plan to parliament on Saturday (May 3rd), outlining the ways the government intends to pursue its Vision 2016 goals.
The work plan includes blueprints for establishing inclusive political processes, justice reforms, economic recovery, enhancing social services delivery, mobilising domestic revenue and boosting capacity of government institutions.
"The implementation of the federal system, regional administrations and review of the provisional constitution will be among the top agendas of the government," Ahmed said. "The implementation of the federal system is key in our desire to be close to the people and also to restore and safeguard the unity of our people."
"The recent progress in liberating many places from al-Shabaab allows the Somali people to see a new hope for peace and development across Somalia", he said.
The ambitious agenda also includes developing regulation for private companies, encouraging investment and trade, creating jobs, restoring infrastructure, opening hospitals, schools and sports centres, rehabilitating ministry buildings, and reviewing and updating regulations on government institutions.
"Delivering social services to the citizens will be a core agenda of my government in this year," he said. "We will open schools and hospitals while continuing to secure and stabilise Somalia."
