MOGADISHU —April 16, 2026 – The Transparency Somalia Initiative (TSI) has officially welcomed the unveiling of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (NACS) 2026–2030, describing it as a critical turning point in the nation’s efforts to safeguard public resources and rebuild state trust.
Unveiled in Mogadishu by the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, the new strategy addresses a significant policy gap that existed since the expiration of the 2020–2023 framework. Developed with technical support from the African Development Bank and aligned with the UN Convention against Corruption, the 2026–2030 roadmap introduces rigorous monitoring mechanisms and legal reforms intended to modernize Somalia’s integrity systems.
TSI highlights that the strategy is built on a “zero draft” consultation approach, ensuring that the judiciary, law enforcement, and civil society organizations all have defined roles in curbing systemic corruption. The plan specifically targets persistent challenges identified in recent risk assessments, including capacity gaps in oversight institutions and weak public financial management.
“The launch of this strategy provides the operational basis needed to ensure that laws are applied equally across all sectors,” stated the Transparency Somalia Initiative. “It is now incumbent upon both federal and state authorities to coordinate effectively to turn these policy measures into tangible results for the Somali people.”.
As the draft moves to the Council of Ministers for final approval, TSI remains committed to monitoring its implementation and advocating for a national culture of accountability.
