Somalia’s public service is struggling under the weight of nepotism, patronage, and weak institutions. Can a shift toward meritocracy offer a way forward?
In this upcoming episode of Soo-koob, we sit down with Awalle Hussein Abdi, a seasoned expert in human resources, industrial relations, and public service reform. He’s the author of a new report published by the Heritage Institute for Policy Studies, which calls for a bold rethinking of how Somalia recruits and promotes public servants.
Hosted by Dr. Abdirashid Ismail, Deputy Director of Heritage, this episode explores why merit-based hiring isn’t just a technical fix—but a foundation for building a competent, ethical, and inclusive state.
