BaadiGoob
BaadiGoob is a digital
commercial platform which creates a profitable market for local small scale
and medium-size entrepreneurs selling products grown or made locally. Running a
small and medium-range businesses in Somalia involves confronting many
obstacles, especially for marginalised communities and women entrepreneurs. For
instance, businesses trading in locally grown/made products such as honey,
cultural artefacts, fruits and vegetables and seafood, and other locally
produced goods lack start up financial resources, market research data and
information and cash flow investments. Creating a special local market is
essential for the growth of the country’s economy and improving living
standards of the local population. BaadiGoob, therefore responds to that unique
need and aims to close the opportunity gap for women entrepreneurs and members
of disenfranchised communities to get access to these competitive markets.
Freelancing
BaadiGoob has also
established freelancing job opportunities for many job-seekers and
employers with job vacancies in the country. In fact, Somalia is rated at the
bottom of the Human Development Index (HDI) on both literacy and employment for
youth when compared to youth around the world. There are many highly skilled
and qualified youths currently enrolled in different vocational training skills
and trade schools in Somalia. The graduates of these programmes often lack
career planning and job placement opportunities.
A large number
of youths trained by Hano Academy for
example, develop the skills and knowledge necessary to serve in different sectors
of the country’s economy. On the other hand, there are clients, i.e., business
owners and managers, looking for skilled manpower to perform different
technical jobs on a short-term basis (freelancing). Our e-Platform links up
such employers with skilled employees to perform these short-term assignments
on a freelance basis. By freelance, we mean the client only pays for the work
done and can decide whether to continue the service or completely stop
engagement with the employee based on the employer’s needs. For long term
employment, our sister company ‘Khibrad
Recruitment Agency’ is there to help with sourcing a quality labour force
by conducting thorough background checks for job-seekers thereby ensuring
clients recruit reliable and qualified candidates.
