The Somali Federal Ministry of Health, acknowledging that despite significant improvements in health outcomes for women, children, and adolescents over recent decades, progress has stalled. The trend is further exacerbated by worsening rates of malnutrition, poor water supply, sanitation and hygiene, low health literacy for young people, and the impacts of conflict, climate change, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as well as other social determinants of health. These have impeded efforts to fulfil relevant commitments made to advance the objectives and targets of the Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (2016–2030) and the related road maps.
