AdvertisementOfficials say Somalia received about $1.9 billion in Official Development Assistance last year, which included $934 million in humanitarian support, with development aid reaching $924 million. Some of the key donors include the World Bank, the United Kingdom, European Union and Germany, who jointly provided about half of the country’s development aid in 2019, or $500 million. The United States alone gave Somalia about half of the humanitarian aid in 2019, official records show. Mr Hassan added that the portal will also aggregate information on funding towards federal states, signaling a positive shift in the working relationship between different levels of government in Somalia.
