The administration pursued reforms across security, justice, public finance, governance, diplomacy and social development. These efforts were guided by the objective of rebuilding a capable Somali state, restoring public confidence in statehood and ensuring that government becomes a driver of stability and national development.

In domestic affairs and good governance, the administration implemented reforms to strengthen government institutions and national cohesion.
Its work included:

These diplomatic efforts contributed to restoring Somalia’s international profile and repositioning the country as a state capable of defending its interests and engaging the international community with greater confidence.
Protecting Sovereignty and National Interests
A central feature of President Farmaajo’s leadership was the protection of Somalia’s sovereignty and the alignment of foreign policy with national priorities.
His administration promoted international relations based on cooperation and mutual respect, while emphasising that Somalia’s relations with the world must protect the interests of the Somali people and government.
Improving Education, Health and Social Services
The administration regarded public service delivery as the most important measure of statehood. It therefore achieved tangible progress in education, healthcare, youth development and community infrastructure.
Notable achievements included:
- Building and strengthening public-service institutions;
- Improving the quality of healthcare services;
- Advancing educational standards, including opening free public schools for the first time since the collapse of the state;
- Expanding youth-development initiatives;
- Supporting employment creation; and
- Developing facilities serving communities and social programmes.
These efforts sought to ensure that government reform translated into practical improvements in the lives of Somali citizens.
The Is-Xilqaan National Initiative
One of the administration’s notable public-service initiatives was the Is-Xilqaan Campaign, which encouraged government employees and citizens to participate voluntarily in rebuilding and maintaining public facilities.
The campaign promoted cooperation, shared ownership, civic responsibility and patriotism. It demonstrated how public institutions and citizens could work together to rebuild national facilities and strengthen confidence in collective action.
Youth Development and National Participation
President Farmaajo’s administration placed increasing emphasis on youth development and their participation in the country’s state-building process.
Security-sector reform helped renew youth interest in joining the Armed Forces, while broader social-development policies supported youth empowerment, employment creation and participation in rebuilding the country.
This approach reflected the belief that Somalia’s long-term stability and prosperity depend on equipping its youth with opportunities to serve, work, lead and contribute to national development.
“Let us continue these efforts—doubling them, reforming them and building new initiatives that will lead our nation to prosperity and success.”
