By Pen Dr. Ibrahim online News
Monday April 8, 2024
Ahmet Davutoglu, a renowned Turkish academic and politician who held the position of the 26th Prime Minister of Turkey and Foreign Minister during the ‘Arab Spring’ in 2011, emphasized the necessity of undertaking historic reassessments in order to transform the Arab region into one of stability, freedom, prosperity, cultural revival and co-existence. Though the outcomes of the ‘Arab Spring’ were met with varying degrees of success, particularly in Tunisia, Davutoglu’s words remain a poignant reminder of the aspirations for positive change. Today, months after Somalia’s accession to the East African Community, I find his sentiments resonating deeply with my own reflections.
Somalia’s accession to the East African Community (EAC) is a pivotal moment that will mark its progress towards economic empowerment and regional integration. It offers Somalia a significant opportunity to establish conducive environments and regulatory frameworks that bolster investor confidence and safeguard property rights. Within the context of the EAC, the developmental forces of technology, climate change, and global economic integration become even more pronounced, presenting unique challenges and opportunities for both East Africa and Somalia within the regional framework.
Addressing these challenges and opportunities demands a comprehensive approach. Technological advancements must be capitalized in order to adapt to the evolving workforce landscape and ensure sustained development in the region. Investing in human capital is crucial to enhance workforce productivity and well-being. Initiatives such as the Decent Work Country Program that was signed On June 10, 2023 and the Draft Labour Code for Somalia approved by the Council of Ministers of the Federal Government of Somalia in August 2023, strengthen labour institutions, and address issues like unemployment, vulnerability, poverty, and inequality. Their implementation would not only Promote social dialogue for protection of labour rights in Somalia, but will open up opportunities for a better bargaining ground for Somalia workforce in the EAC regional work ground.
