Migration for Development in Africa (MIDA) FINNSOM Health and Education Project

Building on the success of MIDA programme implementation since 2008, the IOM has launched Phase 3 of the MIDA FINNSOM project, covering the period between 2023 and 2025, to harness the expertise and knowledge of the Somali diaspora to enhance the capacity of Somalia’s health and education systems. Under this phase, 40 highly qualified Somali diaspora experts will be assigned to the short-term assignments to mentor and train at least 40 local Somali professionals and 40 recent graduates.

This phase of the MIDA FINNSOM project is funded by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Human Services and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Higher Education of the Federal Government of Somalia.
