The Somalia Broadband Infrastructure advisory project aims to reduce regulatory risks and improve the enabling environment for private sector investment in the development of broadband infrastructure in Somalia. The project provides targeted technical assistance to the National Communications Authority (NCA) to strengthen regulatory frameworks in the priority areas such as Right-of-Way (RoW), Infrastructure Sharing, and Submarine Cable Landing. The project helps address regulatory gaps and enhances clarity and coordination across these areas to unlock new private investment opportunities, improve broadband connectivity and support inclusive digital growth in Somalia. In addition, the project seeks to establish robust regulatory frameworks that facilitate private-sector participation and investment in broadband development. These efforts are expected to catalyze infrastructure development, improve digital access, and contribute to the country’s broader connectivity and economic goals. In addition to supporting reform design and implementation, the project also intends to strengthen institutional capacity, ensuring that the necessary frameworks are in place to support long-term sustainability and competitiveness in the broadband sector. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance digital connectivity, promote economic development and align with Somalia’s strategic priorities for inclusive growth.
