Women in Government Programme (WiG) in Somalia

Women in Government Programme (WiG) in Somalia

Women in Somalia’s government face immense challenges—but they are breaking barriers, leading change, and shaping the future. The Women in Government (WiG) Programme, part of ASI’s FCDO-funded Public Resource Management in Somalia (PREMIS 2) Programme, is designed to equip, support, and empower women working across four Federal Member States. Through leadership training, mentorship, peer learning, and practical skills-building, WiG is creating a network of resilient, confident, and capable women driving Somalia’s governance forward. Because when women have a seat at the table, governments are not just stronger, they work better for everyone. Watch to see how the Women in Government Programme is making an impact—and paving the way for the next generation of women in Somalia’s civil service.
