The mission of the Ministry of Reconstruction and Resettlement of Somalia is to play a leading role in the government’s programs to remedy the destruction, both in human and physical terms, caused by the protracted armed conflict. The reconstruction and resettlement effort is to be done in transparent and equitable manner that enhances reconciliation and reintegration. Ways and means utilised are to be economically efficient, culturally compatible, and environmentally sustainable.

The ministry’s vision is to become the principle co-ordinator of government policies for post-conflict humanitarian, relief and reconstruction projects.

 The goal of the ministry is the complete reconstruction of the destroyed infrastructure of the land, and the complete resettlement and integration of both the refugees and the internally displaced. This goal will be considered to have been achieved when all affected families are completely resettled and integrated into the wider community and when the destroyed physical and human infrastructures are rebuilt.
