Shire instructed department heads to accelerate work on outstanding commitments and ensure that their respective work plans for 2027 are prepared and submitted on schedule.
The meeting also discussed the use of additional office facilities available to the ministry and the development of standard procedures for managing its newly acquired vehicles.
In a further move to assess institutional performance, Shire directed the ministry's planning department to begin preparations for a midterm review of its five-year strategic plan.
The review will assess progress in implementing the strategy, identify areas requiring adjustments and determine priorities that need additional attention, the ministry said.
The ministry also confirmed that its annual conference will take place in February 2027.
The conference agenda will be developed through broad consultations and will examine the ministry's performance, existing challenges and key strategic priorities for the coming period.
The planned gathering is expected to provide an opportunity for officials to assess progress, identify shortcomings and discuss measures to improve the ministry's operations.
The biweekly meetings form part of the ministry's efforts to improve coordination between departments, strengthen administrative efficiency and ensure the implementation of its institutional plans.
Somalia's federal institutions have faced longstanding challenges in building administrative capacity and improving coordination, as the government continues efforts to strengthen state institutions and security governance.
