SPARK Supports Somalia/Somaliland Economy to Recover from COVID-19

Key Facts

“It is a relevant and timely project to address the negative impact of the covid-19 pandemic in the country.
This is also a strong opportunity for SPARK to relaunch its activities in Somalia/Somaliland and respond to the growing urgent needs of youth and women to access jobs and sustainable economic opportunities.
With a strong network of partners on the ground, namely Bina Incubator and Zamzam, the TADAMON project aims to provide the best possible services to equip young people with the skills and capacities to mitigate the COVID-19 impact, but most importantly aspire to start and grow their economic activities and ensure decent conditions to thrive in a challenging social and economic environment, while having better health services in their communities”.
As a response to the needs of Somali entrepreneurs and jobseekers, the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) and Islamic Solidarity Fund for Development (ISFD) has partnered with SPARK, an international NGO, to launch a support programme for companies affected by COVID-19.
