Strategic Direction and Institutional Leadership

Environmental protection, climate resilience, and sustainable rural land administration are interconnected pillars of long-term stability and development in the Somali Regional State. The Bureau of Environmental Protection and Rural Land Administration is committed to strengthening institutional systems, enhancing coordination, and ensuring that policies and legal frameworks are translated into effective and measurable actions.

Our mandate requires balancing environmental protection with social and economic development. This demands professionalism, transparency, and strict adherence to environmental and land administration laws, while ensuring that communities benefit equitably from natural resources. Strengthening Environmental Impact Assessment systems, improving regulatory compliance, and reinforcing inter-sectoral collaboration remain key priorities of the Bureau.

As a guiding principle, all public institutions, investors, and communities are encouraged to act with responsibility and long-term vision. Sustainable development is achieved through decisions that respect the environment, uphold the rule of law, and safeguard the rights and opportunities of future generations.
