Somalia Centennial Vision 2060
Supporting the National Economic Council, UNECA, and the World Bank in building Somalia's long-term national development vision.
Our Contribution
As one of the lead consultants on a multidisciplinary team, CreativeBox supported the National Economic Council (NEC), UNECA, and the World Bank in developing key components of the Somalia Centennial Vision 2060.
Supported the development of a quantifiable end-state (upper-middle income ambition) translated into measurable targets and time-bound trajectories
Contributed to the structured analytical narrative explaining why targets are ambitious-but-defensible with buffer logic and scenario calibration
Provided drafting support for human capital and education strategy content that operationalizes skills development
Helped design the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) cycle and data-management logic that makes delivery measurable across phases
Assisted with packaging and synthesis to support public-facing clarity and policy-grade coherence across chapters and pillars
Five Strategic Workstreams
Comprehensive approach delivering a coherent, executable national blueprint
Vision Targeting & Trajectory Modelling
Translate the 2060 ambition into measurable indicators and plausible long-run trajectories that can be defended as policy-relevant and analytically grounded.
Human Capital Development & Education Strategy Design
Operationalize workforce transformation: inclusive access to education, skills development pathways, employability alignment, and culturally grounded social outcomes.
Digital Transformation Enabler & Digital Infrastructure Logic
Frame digital transformation as a cross-cutting accelerator: literacy, connectivity, innovation adoption, and capability building.
Monitoring, Evaluation & Delivery System
Make the Vision executable: define how progress is measured, reviewed, corrected, and evaluated across decades, plans, sectors, and regions.
Narrative Architecture & Policy Coherence
Ensure the document reads as a single, coherent national blueprint with clear causal logic from diagnosis to execution.
Key Strategic Decisions
Anchor the Vision on an upper-middle-income ambition by 2060
Forces measurability, creates accountability, and aligns national aspiration to internationally legible development thresholds.
Set a per-capita income target with buffer above minimum threshold
Reduces risk of technically missing classification due to external benchmark drift or economic shocks.
Use 'managed growth through strategic interventions' framing
Links trajectory to controllable levers (diversification, infrastructure, human capital, governance) and avoids wishful forecasting.
Build execution backbone: NTPs/SSPs/RDSs + results framework + timed M&E cycle
A 35-year vision fails without an operating system: plans, indicators, review cadence, corrections, and evaluations.
Published by National Economic Council
The Somalia Centennial Vision 2060 was officially published by the National Economic Council (NEC) of the Federal Republic of Somalia in June 2025, with critical support from UNECA, World Bank, and the United Nations Country Team.
This 35-year national blueprint establishes Somalia's commitment to achieving upper-middle-income status by 2060 through strategic interventions in human capital, infrastructure, governance, and economic diversification.
