Overview

[edit]

The organisation was established in 2011 by the Prime Minister of the Transitional Federal Government during the 2010-11 Somali famine. Legislation authorising the Somali Disaster Management Agency was passed in 2016 under the Federal Ministry for Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management.

In 2022 the Federal Ministry for Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management was abolished and the Somali Disaster Management Agency assumed the legal roles and responsibilities of the former ministry.[1]
