Mogadishu, Somalia – November 5th 2024: Today in Mogadishu, the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA) and the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Higher Education jointly launched a major initiative to integrate Somalia’s National ID System with the Ministry’s educational services. This integration marks a significant step forward in providing secure, efficient, and accessible services for students and educators across Somalia.

The event was co-led by Mr. Abdiwali Ali Abdulle (Timacadde), Director General of NIRA, and H.E. Farah Sheikh Abdulkadir, Minister of Education, Culture, and Higher Education, who both underscored the importance of this initiative for the future of Somalia’s educational system. Also in attendance were H.E. Ali Yusuf Ali-Hoosh, Minister of Interior, Federal Affairs, and Reconciliation; officials from Federal Member State (FMS) education ministries; representatives from the Banadir Regional Administration (BRA); and key figures from educational associations.

In his address, Mr. Timacadde highlighted NIRA’s commitment to supporting all sectors by making the National ID a cornerstone of Somalia’s service infrastructure. “Today’s joint initiative brings us closer to a unified identity system that strengthens educational access across the nation. The National ID will empower students, teachers, and institutions by making essential services more accessible and secure,” he stated.

H.E. Farah Sheikh Abdulkadir emphasized that the integration of the National ID with educational services reflects the Somali government’s commitment to inclusivity and improved service delivery. “This National ID initiative simplifies educational access and supports the long-term development of our students and educators. It’s a step towards a more connected, efficient Somalia,” he noted.

The integration is expected to streamline access to key services, enabling students and teachers to secure certifications, apply for scholarships, and receive financial aid through their National ID. This alignment with educational services will ensure that academic records and personal data are securely and accurately maintained, providing lifelong benefits for students across the country.
