Long term economic result take hits in the election year and both government and citizen only focus on the short-term effect that may have immediate effects. Economic growth suffers for the election efforts and not to mention when election process worsens to   produce political crises that may develop to full scale war and social conflict. Conference on Economic and Public Policy Development (CEPAD) is the premier platform for the presentation of the research result and new advances in economics and public policy in Somalia and over the world. The conference was established in recognition of that economic policy and administrative efficiencies are an essential aspect of governmental and social development.  Most of the public policies steer up the inequality, negatively influence the economic incentives so such policies fail to produce the expected outcome and merely become counterproductive.  For policies to be optimal, it needs the beneficiaries’ input and as well the policymaker's resourcefulness. Which will help them avoid the establishment of the spontaneous policy which is politically and economically bushed.  

Resiling Somalia is indeed very needful to ignite the initiatives to embrace economic and public policy development to achieve institutional establishment, impressive growth as well administrative efficacy.  The conference on economic and Public Policy and Administration Development will be held for its sixth time, in SIMAD UNIVERSITY.
