Djibouti Launches a Fundamental Reform of its Labor and Social Protection Code with ILO Support

DJIBOUTI, July 30, 2025. Djibouti opened a national consultation workshop this week to reform its Labor Code, in effect since 2006. Held at the Sheraton Hotel, the meeting is supported by the International Labor Organization (ILO) and marks the launch of a legislative process aimed at adapting labor law to current economic realities.

Chaired by the Minister of Labor in charge of Formalization and Social Protection, the workshop brings together representatives of social partners, legal experts, and a technical delegation from the ILO until July 31. The objective is to achieve a legal framework that is "more inclusive, more dynamic, and consistent with international standards," according to the Ministry.

"This involves adapting our legislation to changes in the labor market while ensuring a fair working environment for all," declared the Minister in his opening speech.

The reform aims to clarify contractual obligations, strengthen control and dispute resolution mechanisms, and close legal loopholes that undermine workers' rights, particularly in non-standard forms of employment. The low number of labor inspectors and insufficient monitoring mechanisms have been identified as major obstacles to the effective enforcement of the current code.

An international expert commissioned by the ILO has been tasked with assessing the compliance of Djiboutian legislation with the conventions ratified by the country. His report is expected to guide the development of a new bill.

This reform, still in the preparatory stages, is part of a government strategy aimed at supporting economic growth through better labor governance and a modernization of the social framework.

Integrated Urban Development Program 2 ter: Leaders from 33 Layabley and Moustiquaire associations equipped to set up and manage community projects

The Djibouti Social Development Agency (ADDS), in collaboration with the municipality of Balbala, concluded a training session last Thursday focused on the development and management of community projects. Funded by the French Development Agency (AFD), the initiative, which is part of the third phase of the Integrated Urban Development Program 2 (PDUI 2), provided training to representatives of 33 associations in the Layabley and Moustiquaire neighborhoods.

Like its predecessor, the PDUI 2 ter, not only aims to contribute to the urban transformation of the Layabley and Moustiquaire neighborhoods benefiting from the program, it also has a human face and includes the strengthening of human capital as part of a social development component.
Indeed, financed to the tune of 40 million of our francs by the French Development Agency (AFD) within the framework of the Community Development Fund, this will allow the Djibouti Social Development Agency (ADDS), the main institution in charge of implementing this program, to set up small community projects accompanying the modernization of the urban landscape of these neighborhoods of the commune of Balbala.
Although the official launch of this third phase of PDUI 2 is scheduled for next September, according to Mahdi Mohamed Djama, Director General of ADDS, its activities nevertheless began as a preamble on Wednesday, July 23, with a training workshop on the development and management of community projects, dedicated to leaders of associations in the sector.

After two days of discussions on the design, planning, and implementation of microprojects that meet the real needs of their communities, the event, organized by ADDS in collaboration with the municipality of Balbala, concluded late Thursday morning. The participants shared an atmosphere of pride for some, and a sense of having received the necessary tools to be active players in the socio-economic development of their own neighborhoods. The 33 beneficiaries were on Thursday, during a ceremony held in the large meeting room of the new ADDS headquarters building, on the Serpent plateau in the commune of Ras-Dika, under the spotlights of cameras and the crackling of cameras of various local press organs.
And for good reason? They received certificates confirming their ability to implement microprojects deemed useful for improving the conditions of their communities from the officials attending the closing ceremony of this training workshop, namely the institution's Director General, Mahdi Mohamed Djama, and its Director of Social Development, Galab Hassan Galab; MP Abdourahman Awaleh Yacin, President of the RPP group in the National Assembly; ADDS PDUI2 Program Manager, Emmanuel Paillart; and the local councilor for the sector, Ilyas Hassan Mohamed.

Speaking at the event, ADDS Director of Social Development, Galab Hassan Galab, praised the participants' active involvement during these two intense days. "Microprojects represent powerful levers for social and economic transformation when they are well designed and properly implemented," he emphasized. This statement perfectly sums up the philosophy of the PDUI2 ter program: placing residents at the heart of the thinking, design and implementation of projects that meet the concrete and urgent needs of the beneficiaries.
"I invite you to immediately put into practice the knowledge acquired by initiating the consultatio

Ministry of Transport and Equipment /TradeMark Africa/EU:
Towards a Regional Logistics Transformation

As part of the regional integration and logistics modernization project between Djibouti and Ethiopia, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Equipment, with support from TradeMark Africa (TMA) and the European Union, hosted a high-level workshop on Monday, July 21 at the Sheraton Hotel in Djibouti. The event marked the official validation of the feasibility and preliminary design study for the future Galafi border post — a cornerstone initiative for regional trade facilitation.
Held under the framework of the Horn of Africa Initiative, this workshop represented a strategic step forward in efforts to enhance trade flows, build resilient logistics networks, and foster inclusive regional integration. Funded by the European Union through the French Development Agency (AFD), the project signals a concrete move toward deeper cooperation between neighboring countries and a more seamless movement of goods.
This validation workshop built upon a previous consultative session held on May 29, bringing together a wide range of stakeholders: sectoral ministries, customs and border control authorities, engineers, urban planners, technicians, and community representatives. Their collective input embodies an inclusive and participatory approach to infrastructure development — one that prioritizes both technical efficiency and social equity.
The technical presentation of the feasibility report revealed key findings from topographic surveys, traffic analysis, material quality assessments, and geotechnical, hydraulic, and hydrological diagnostics, alongside projected infrastructure blueprints and detailed cost estimates. These comprehensive datasets form the foundation of a robust infrastructure project, tailored to address both logistical performance and the specific needs of the surrounding environment.
Participants were invited to engage directly with the findings, evaluate the recommendations, and contribute to the report's validation — reinforcing transparency and a culture of continuous improvement. This milestone sets the stage for the forthcoming construction phase, grounded in solid technical, environmental, and social planning.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Dileyta Soultan Mohamed, Director of Transport at the Ministry, emphasized the strategic value of modern border infrastructure. “Building a border post is first and foremost about streamlining control procedures by bringing all agencies together in one place,” he stated. “This allows for more coordinated and efficient border management.” He also underscored a less-discussed but critical aspect: the socio-economic impact on border communities.

Indeed, the Galafi project extends beyond customs and control. It includes concrete measures to uplift local populations, who are often marginalized due to geographic remoteness. Planned developments include access to clean water through new wells, sanitation facilities, and small-scale community infrastructure. Ultimately, the Galafi border post aims to become not just a commercial gateway, but also a driver of inclusive local development.
A Catalyst for Sustainable Regional Transformation
Strategically located at the Djibouti–Ethiopia crossroads, the future Galafi border post is poised to serve as a model for integrated and sustainable trade corridors. The project reflects a joint commitment to logistics systems that are not only more efficient and environmentally sound, but also more people-centered. By facilitating faster goods movement, minimizing border delays, and improving inter-agency coordination, this infrastructure will help reduce trade costs and boost regional competitiveness.
Its broader significance lies in reshaping the dynamics of trade across the Horn of Africa — a region long hindered by physical and bureaucratic barriers. Strengthening interconnectivity among member states, the Galafi border post aligns with the African Union’s vision for deeper regional integration and enjoys strong backing from international development partners.
This initiative also showcases the power of structured international partnerships. The involvement of TradeMark Africa, the European Union, and AFD alongside Djiboutian institutions exemplifies a governance model built on dialogue, technical expertise, and strong local ownership. The successful validation of the feasibility study is the result of a collective effort, where institutional, technical, and community stakeholders have come together to shape a transformative infrastructure project.
By endorsing the feasibility and preliminary design study, Djibouti takes a decisive step toward realizing a modern, inclusive, and sustainable logistics hub. The Galafi border post now stands as a symbol of the future of regional trade — where efficiency and social equity advance hand in hand.
For the Horn of Africa — a region long fragmented by geography and policy — this marks the beginning of a new economic chapter. Connectivity is no longer seen as an obstacle to overcome, but as a collective driver of prosperity."

The Director General of Civil Protection presides over the closing ceremony of a training session for our firefighters

The Directorate General of Civil Protection officially closed a specialized training session entitled "Second Rescue, Support and Search Unit" (USAR) last Thursday at its premises, provided for Djiboutian firefighters.

The closing ceremony was presided over by the Director General of Civil Protection, Colonel Mahamoud Moussa Mahamoud, in the presence of the security attaché at the French Embassy in Djibouti, thus highlighting the importance of bilateral cooperation in the field of civil protection.
This two-week training session benefited 28 Djibouti Civil Protection officers, rigorously selected to join the country's second USAR unit. These specialized units are designed to respond quickly and effectively during natural or technological disasters, particularly for search and rescue operations in urban environments.

The main objective of this session was to strengthen the operational capabilities of firefighters in rescuing trapped or buried victims by learning advanced search, location, extrication, and stabilization techniques, until their arrival by the appropriate emergency services.
This initiative is fully in line with a national strategy to modernize and professionalize Djiboutian emergency units, aimed at improving their responsiveness and effectiveness in complex emergency situations.

The Directorate General of Civil Protection extends its sincere thanks to all its partners, particularly France, for its continued and invaluable support in strengthening national capacities in risk and disaster management.
The ceremony ended with the official presentation of certificates to the officers who successfully completed the training, followed by a moment of conviviality marked by the exchange of symbolic gifts between the Director General of Civil Protection and the trainers.

Cooperative management training for transform Djibouti agriculture take root
The Ministry of Agriculture, Water, Animal Resources, and Fisheries, with support from the World Bank, organized a ceremony on July 3, 2025, at the Leadership and Entrepreneurship Center (CLE) to distribute training certificates to 31 newly certified trainers in agricultural cooperative management. This is a key step in the FAR (Farming Resilient Agricultural Sectors Support) project, which focuses on human capital to address the challenges of sustainable and inclusive agriculture. The winners—men and women from different regions of the country—gathered at the vocational training center and received their certificates from officials, surrounded by their loved ones who were there to celebrate their success. After six months of intensive training, these 31 young trainers now possess the skills necessary to support the establishment, management, and structuring of modern agricultural cooperatives adapted to local and climatic realities.

This initiative is part of the authorities' desire to formalize an often informal agricultural sector by providing rural communities with governance, planning, and market access tools. In doing so, cooperatives become a strategic lever for strengthening the rural economy, integrating youth and women, and enhancing food security. Mr. Djanko, a cooperative management expert and coordinator of this training, opened the ceremony by praising the trainees' commitment.
He emphasized the rigor of the training: the basic principles of the cooperative movement, internal organization, planning, external relations, and practical operations. Participants worked in pairs to consolidate their knowledge and prepare for future interventions in the field.

The expert believes this is only a starting point: "This program must now be scaled up, supported, and sustained over the long term. We must build a strong, organized cooperative system capable of meeting the country's agricultural challenges. Within five or ten years, Djibouti should be able to count on dynamic cooperatives in every region, facilitating access to markets, promoting sustainable practices, and stimulating local employment.

Inauguration of the second phase of the Douda wastewater treatment plant
June 16, 2025 the second phase of the Douda wastewater treatment plant was inaugurated this Monday, in the presence of several members of the Djiboutian government.
The event also marked the official launch of the Project for the Extension and Rehabilitation of the Sanitation Networks in Djibouti City (PERRAD).
Funded by the French Development Agency (AFD) and the European Union, this project will benefit nearly 30,000 people, providing them with access to a collective sanitation service. It will thus contribute to improving living conditions, particularly for women, and reducing the risks associated with waterborne diseases (malaria, typhoid, etc.
The project involves the rehabilitation and construction of collective sanitation networks in neighborhoods 5, 6, 7, 7-bis, and Cite Stade.
The collected wastewater will be transported and treated at the new Douda wastewater treatment plant, which has a treatment capacity of 40,000 population equivalents. Some twenty kilometers of networks will be installed, and several kilometers of existing networks will be cleaned.
These two projects are in line with the firm commitment of the President of the Republic to strengthen basic infrastructure, improve the living environment of our citizens, and meet the urgent needs of Djibouti's most densely populated working-class neighborhoods," declared ONEAD Director General Mohamed Fouad Abdo.
According to ONEAD experts, from an environmental perspective, these projects will eliminate direct wastewater discharges into the sea, thus contributing to the protection of marine ecosystems. They will also put an end to the uncontrolled discharge of greywater onto urban roads, which will promote road preservation and improve hygiene in urban areas.
In a statement issued on this occasion, France and the European Union reaffirmed their commitment to the Republic of Djibouti, emphasizing their shared desire to "reduce health risks and provide equitable access to essential public services for all.
Recalling that water resource management is a major issue for the entire Djiboutian territory, located in a desert region, they praised the efforts of the Djiboutian government, which, they stated, have made it possible, in recent years, to significantly increase the volume of drinking water distributed, particularly thanks to the Doraleh desalination plant.
