- Designing Somalia’s Government Job Portal in Partnership with MOLSA and IOM Somalia
In a major step toward improving access to employment and transparency in recruitment, Veynuus was contracted by IOM Somalia to work with the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (MOLSA) to develop a national job portal. The platform aims to become Somalia’s central hub for all government job announcements, youth opportunities, and contract postings.
But beyond digital infrastructure, the portal was shaped through consultation and inclusion—ensuring that both job seekers and employers were at the center of its design.
What We Delivered
Veynuus combined technical delivery with field-informed insight, working across government, youth, and private sector stakeholders to ensure the platform is inclusive and fit-for-purpose.
A Collaborative Partnership for Greater Impact
This initiative was delivered in close collaboration with Zifala Technologies, a Somali tech company with strong experience in systems development. Zifala led on the backend development and infrastructure, while Veynuus focused on project management, user research, content design, and stakeholder coordination. Together, we built a solution that’s both technically sound and socially responsive.
Closing the Gap Between Skills, Opportunities, and Access
Somalia’s labor market is fragmented, and youth often find themselves disconnected from employment pathways. Meanwhile, institutions struggle to understand skills mismatches and future workforce demands. The portal directly addresses these issues by:
Centralizing all public sector employment opportunities
Creating visibility into skills mismatches and job trends
Supporting public-private dialogue on labor needs
Empowering data-informed policy decisions
From Vision to Action: A Platform for the Future
With leadership from MOLSA and support from IOM Somalia, the new job portal reflects Somalia’s commitment to digitized governance, inclusive growth, and youth empowerment. This is not only a platform—it’s a shift toward better systems thinking, smarter workforce planning, and stronger public trust.

Looking Ahead: A Scalable Model for Inclusive Labor Systems
The job portal is designed to evolve. With built-in analytics, modular architecture, and open stakeholder collaboration, it can scale with national needs. Whether it’s skills mapping, internship matching, or tracking job placement success—this is just the beginning.
Delivered in Partnership with Zifala Technologies
This platform was built in collaboration with Zifala Technologies, a Somali-owned technology company that served as our technical development partner. Zifala led the backend development, infrastructure setup, and core engineering, while Veynuus focused on project coordination, stakeholder engagement, content strategy, and consultation. Together, we delivered a platform that is both technically strong and socially responsive.
