Engineer Aliyow: Development in Somalia Comes from the Heart |

“I see a vision for Baidoa to return to its past glory.”
Baidoa is far from London, the city that welcomed Engineer Aliyow for 13 years before returning to Somalia through the MIDA program to give back to his country.
“It was always my dream, to support the future of the country & provide the technical know-how from the experience I gained abroad.”

Since 2009, IOM has been actively supporting the role of diaspora as key development actors in Somalia and beyond. With its MIDA program, IOM has contributed to providing capacity-building and technical skills support to the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) and Federal Member States, through the deployment of diaspora experts. The overall goal of the program is to strengthen the capacity of state institutions in key sectors through mobilizing resources and expertise of the Somali diaspora, thereby contributing to peace and development in the country.
