Project Description
SOMINA is an intensive and interactive executive education program custom-designed for officials working in investment-related government agencies, mid-level investment professionals and professional advisers who will play a role in attracting private sector financing in Somalia. The program, which will be certificated, will be hosted at the Nairobi campus of the awarding institution and IFC’s implementing partner, Strathmore University Business School, and will run twice-yearly over a period of three years. The program capitalizes on The World Bank Group’s track-record of engaging and/or investing in conflict-affected countries to provide course participants with deeper knowledge and understanding of the key political, commercial, operational and legal considerations that currently constrain the inflow of foreign capital to private sector-led projects in Somalia. The multi-disciplinary curriculum will be delivered by a highly-qualified team of instructors purposefully selected from specialized units across the World Bank Group, legal practice, industry and academia.
