The program will run from May 30, 2015, to April 30, 2020.

AECOM will support USAID’s goal in Somalia of promoting stabilization through good governance, economic growth, increasing youth engagement and practical job skills training. USAID’s work in Somalia fits under the broader U.S. government goals for partnership with Somalia. TIS+ activities will complement improvements in government service delivery that demonstrate good governance and promote community cohesion. The program will support local communities with access to livelihoods, income generation, and basic community infrastructure to ease hardship.

“We look forward to supporting the U.S. government on this critical mission in Somalia to support lasting peace and improved development,” said Hugh Doyle, president of AECOM’s international development group. “This work is the embodiment of our purpose to positively impact lives, transform communities and make the world a better place.”
