Our work spans critical areas, including trade facilitation, business performance, financial access, market development, and economic resilience, all with a strong emphasis on innovation, investment, and the integration of technology.

We support businesses by simplifying cross-border trade processes, addressing regulatory barriers, and promoting regional partnerships. Our expert guidance equips Somali businesses with the tools needed to attract investors and explore new markets. By leveraging digital trade platforms and modern technology, we enable businesses to navigate the complexities of international trade, expanding Somalia’s economic footprint globally.

  • Enhancing Business Performance and Competitiveness

DDI works closely with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to enhance their operational efficiency and competitiveness. Through customized training programs and advisory services, we help businesses optimize their processes, adopt innovative strategies, and implement sustainable business practices. This enables businesses to thrive in competitive environments while contributing to Somalia’s long-term economic resilience.

  • Expanding Financial Access for Growth

Limited access to finance is a significant barrier to growth for many Somali businesses.

Our strategic partnerships with both local and international stakeholders allow us to design tailored solutions that strengthen the overall market ecosystem, benefiting producers, consumers, and businesses alike.

  • Building Economic Resilience and Sustainability

DDI’s approach prioritizes building resilience and sustainability within Somali communities and businesses. We offer resilience-building initiatives that equip businesses with the tools to withstand economic shocks and recover quickly. Our focus on sustainability includes promoting best practices in key sectors like agriculture, fisheries, and renewable energy.
