Regular engagement with International Community partners, Somali Government, the World Bank, IMF, and other multilateral organisations is a significant element of this role.More broadly, the role is essential to advancing key policy agendas, such as fiscal federalism and resource sharing in Somalia, and demonstrating thought leadership on tackling corruption in Somalia.
