Somalia Posted August 28, 2012 Establishing sound Monetary/Fiscal Policies Implementing sound monetary and fiscal policies will create jobs by rekindling the livelihood sources of ordinary Somali, including the fisheries, livestock, agriculture, exploitation of known and prospective hydrocarbon and other natural resources. Coupled with this is the establishment of effective taxation systems and policies. In additions to utilizing foreign aid and investment towards building institutional capacities and improve transparency. Job Creation and Sustainable Economic Growth Fostering economic growth and developing effective poverty reduction strategies is the first step in the revival of Somalia.A pillar of my government’s core objective will be to undertake the process of creating well paying and meaningful jobs for the citizens of our country.While there are no concrete data, it is estimated that our country’s unemployment is well over 90%. This level of unemployment is unsustainable and could hinder the reconciliation and reconstruction process. Moreover, security and durable peace will not exist without sustainable economic growth. And to that end, we intend to match employers and job seekers by creating vocational job training schemes so that people can get into the job market quickly. We will also harness the country’s economic potential by tapping into our rich natural resources. Re-establishing our Institutions Rarely do countries get the opportunity to redesign all over again their institutions, ‘the rules of the games’, and how they conduct their affairs, whether it is in the business, politics or private spheres. If that opportunity does arise, it usually involves in a major shock such as civil wars, or other internal social upheavals. Somalia has experienced one of the worst civil wars in the contemporary history and in the process lost all its institutional capacity including physical structures. We have an opportunity to alter the very culture; the norms and values that brought down the central government in the first place by designing strong and well functioning institutions that can withstand future shocks. We will identify, select and train ‘the best and brightest’ from our society for future public managers and senior government roles.We will create incentives to attract competent public servants and set benchmarks to measure their productivity. Dr.Abdiweli Mohamed Ali For President, 2012 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Baadiyow is an example of how Islamists should behave...I met Baadiyow and I have to say I was very impressed with him. He has a clear vision as to where he wants to take the country and he seems very sincere. However, he isn't fond of Abdiweli, Sharif or anyone else in the TFG.
