SIDAM Institute is a public university in Mogadishu, Somalia.
One of Somalia's post secondary institutions in the 1970s adn 80s, Somali Institute of Development Administration Management (SIDAM) [1] was tertiary education institution with its main campus located in the city center in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.

The other two were Somali National University and Lafoole University which itself started as two-year diploma granting teachers training college in 1965, the same year which SIDAM was founded as SIPA.
Development history and academic programs[edit]
SIDAM went through developmental phases [2] within the span of one decade as it first started as The Somali Institute of Public Accounting, or short for SIPA-this was before the name change to SIDAM in 1971 [3] and received a new charter in 1978 (law no. 36).[4] SIDAM continued to engage in comprehensive teaching and as a full-fledged higher learning institution. The SIDAM university, a junior college, it was initially created to provide short term training courses offering certificates and diploma to the civil servants and the staff from the rapidly growing socioeconomic development activities in the 1970s and 80s. With shortage of skilled labour due to brain drain to the oil rich countries in the Mideast, the country was left with shortage of trained management and, thus SIDAM was the main training institution to offer managerial and executive skills for the gaps in civil service and elsewhere in the economy.
Postgraduate degrees[edit]
With gradual increase in capacity and experience, by 1972 SIDAM has been made an standalone higher education institution. As the Somali National University itself was going through drastic change including new charter and upgrading to full university right around this time, SIDAM. Trained were key executives, CEOs and other management and leadership people to run the newly created factories SNAY across the country and production centers along with newly nationalized programs as the military government took full control of the country by later 1969 up to the mid-1970s as the military conciliated the national political power.
