Title: Revolutionizing Somalia's National Security: The Reform of Intelligence Agencies Mohamed Hassan Abdullahi (Geelle): 2023 GREEN HOPE UNIVERSITY mohamedhassan@greenhopeuniversity.edu.so Abstract The general purpose of intelligence agency reform is to improve national security, reduce threats from hostile actors, and increase the accuracy of information gathered by intelligence agencies. Specific objectives can include increasing transparency in how the intelligence community operates, improving accountability for mistakes or missteps by personnel within the community, implementing updated technologies that improve analysis capabilities and effectiveness, addressing potential biases among personnel that could lead to inaccurate reporting or recommendations, streamlining communication between different departments within an intelligence service for greater efficiency. Additionally, some reforms may be implemented with specific goals in mind such as preventing foreign interference in U.S. elections or strengthening oversight over domestic surveillance programs. The reform was initiated by the government to strengthen the country's security and intelligence apparatus. It involves restructuring the intelligence agencies and introducing modern technology to improve their efficiency.
