Facilitating local solutions to local problems.
Magan Consultancy is a development consultancy firm established in 2005, with broad experience in research programmes, monitoring and evaluation, institutional strengthening, governance support and capacity development.
The meaning of Magan
The name Magan derives from “Management and Governance for Advancement Network,” while its Somali meaning also conveys sanctuary.
Managed from Mogadishu, Somalia, the firm assembles bespoke consulting teams for assignments across the region and maintains a wide network of partners, institutes and associate consultants. Our approach is to pair local leadership with advanced technical expertise and internationally experienced specialists.
As a matter of policy, Magan maximises local content wherever possible — ensuring advisory services are context-responsive, practically grounded and aligned with local realities, while still meeting international standards.
To be a recognised leader in development and business advisory services by delivering innovative, evidence-based and results-oriented solutions.
To assist governments, the private sector and non-profit organisations with high-quality research, consulting and technical assistance that strengthen institutions and improve development outcomes.
