Building Roads to Connect Somalia
Developing modern road infrastructure to improve connectivity, boost trade, and drive economic growth across the nation
Infrastructure for Economic Development
Somalia's road infrastructure has been severely damaged by decades of conflict and neglect. Poor road conditions isolate communities, hinder trade, and limit access to essential services like healthcare and education.
Our road development program focuses on building and rehabilitating key transportation corridors that connect major cities, rural communities, and economic centers. These projects create jobs, facilitate commerce, and improve quality of life.
Modern roads are the arteries of economic development, enabling the movement of goods, services, and people essential for prosperity and peace.
Benefits of Road Development

Infrastructure investment stimulates economic activity, attracts foreign investment, and creates sustainable jobs.
Job Creation
Road construction projects employ thousands of local workers, providing income and skills training to communities.
Urban Development
Improved roads enable urban expansion, attract businesses, and support the development of new residential areas.
