The
Cabinet of the Federal Government of Somalia has formally approved the National
Postal Policy of Somalia for the period 2025–2030, marking a major step in the
modernization of the country’s postal sector.
The newly approved policy establishes a clear strategic and regulatory framework aimed at transforming postal services to meet contemporary national and international standards. It is designed to strengthen domestic and cross-border connectivity while positioning the postal sector as a key enabler of Somalia’s digital transformation and economic development agenda.
By setting out priorities for institutional reform, service modernization and market development, the policy seeks to rebuild a sustainable, inclusive and efficient postal system capable of serving citizens, businesses and international partners. It also supports improved integration of postal services with emerging digital platforms and logistics networks.
The
Cabinet’s approval represents a significant milestone in ongoing efforts to
restore public infrastructure and expand access to essential services across
Somalia. Implementation of the National Postal Policy is expected to enhance
service delivery, promote private sector participation, and reinforce Somalia’s
engagement in regional and global postal networks over the next five years.
