On April 25, 2025, a budget analysis for Somaliland was conducted in Burco as part of the Nalashaah event, which focused on public debates related to parliamentary issues. The budget is the responsibility of the house of representatives to analyze and approve, and the House of Representatives confirmed the 2025 budget.
The ISIR Institute published a paper that examined the 2025 budget and its level of decentralization. Participants engaged in a session where panelists addressed questions about the budget. Ahmed, the author of the paper, presented it to the participants before the discussion began, highlighting its objectives and the importance of dialogue to facilitate understanding and feedback regarding the upcoming 2026 budget. This engagement aimed to help stakeholders and citizens provide input to the relevant government authorities involved in the budget process, including central government agencies, regional agencies, and House of Representatives members, particularly those elected from the eastern regions.
Participants asked questions to the panelists, who responded accordingly. The key action point from the event was to disseminate the paper to relevant agencies to encourage their participation in preparing the upcoming budget for 2026.
