Education for sustainable development is a global initiative for integrating education into Sustainable Development Goals. The integration of SD into universities' academic programs is considered to be an important approach towards contributing to the sustainability dimensions. The aim of this research is to identify the capacities and competencies of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) for Sustainable Development in Somaliland. Yet these competencies are translated and described in different context, insufficient literature is available on the appropriate frameworks that integrate sustainability competencies into HEIs. As result of this, ESD becomes a global issue and many developed and developing countries put forward a responsive strategy aimed at improving the national economy without compromising environmental issues. Science and Technology (S&T) in HEIs is an important approach to addressing sustainability in regional, national and international levels. This paper is to present a contextualized framework of integrating SD into HEIs by 6 universities in Somaliland. This integration is a concentric approach dedicated to academic institutions, industries; business sector and government institutions ensure their contributions and collective responsibilities that are aligned with the national development goals. In order to find out how and to what extent that S&T, R&D, and CE provision are already available and properly integrated into the academic programs were analyzed in the fields related to S&T programs. The result of the analysis indicates that S&T, R&D and CE capacities in relation to SD are virtually absent and not significant. The findings also indicate that both at institutional and national levels, policies and strategies on Somaliland Development Goals lack the orientation of SD, S&T and other sustainability competencies required to foster the national economy.
