| contents | Private employment agencies in Somalia: procedure and general services International Labour Organization The document, titled "Private Employment Agencies in Somalia: Procedure and General Services," is a comprehensive regulatory framework prepared by the Somali Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and supported by the International Labour Organization in 2026 to govern the recruitment industry. The primary objective of the report is to establish a transparent, rights-based system that facilitates safe and orderly overseas and domestic employment while protecting the dignity, safety, and welfare of Somali workers and preventing irregular labor migration. Key highlights of the framework include strict licensing requirements for Private Employment Agencies (PEAs), which mandate 51% Somali ownership, a minimum capital equivalent of USD 25,000, and an additional USD 25,000 security deposit to safeguard worker rights. Furthermore, the document strictly prohibits charging recruitment fees to workers, mandates the use of standard employment contracts, and outlines comprehensive procedures for pre-departure orientation, health screenings, labor inspections, and robust dispute resolution and grievance mechanisms to penalize unlawful exploitation.
