UNITAR & MED-OR Diplomatic Training Programme for the Federal Government of Somalia on UN Security Council Membership

Med-Or, in collaboration with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), has launched a training and advisory program for the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) in preparation for its membership in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for the 2025-2026 term. 

This international cooperation project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI), aims to train Somali diplomats and public officials, including those assigned to Somalia’s Permanent Mission to the UN Security Council in New York and those working within the diplomatic support unit in Mogadishu. 

The year-long initiative includes intensive hybrid training courses and consulting and advisory activities on key topics such as crises, conflicts, and global issues regularly addressed by the Security Council, with a special focus on Africa, the Middle East, and other international emergencies. 

The project’s objective is to equip the Somali delegation with the skills and expertise necessary to effectively navigate the challenges of its term at the United Nations Security Council.
