The Abaadi Center is committed to building bridges between Somalia’s local communities and its educated diaspora across Europe and America. Through dialogue and collaboration, the Center envisions uniting these groups to drive job creation, foster innovation, and build a more inclusive and democratic society.
Somalia faces a profound challenge with the ongoing brain drain, as many of its brightest minds leave the country in search of security and better opportunities. This migration deprives local communities of critical knowledge and skills, deepening developmental challenges and stalling progress.
The Abaadi Center is raising awareness about this urgent issue, emphasizing the importance of engaging the diaspora to reverse this trend. By fostering partnerships that connect the expertise and resources of the diaspora with the resilience and potential of local communities, Abaadi aims to catalyze collective action for a brighter, more sustainable future for Somalia.
