Duale Adan Mohamed (Somali: Ducale Aadan Maxamed, Arabic: دوالي عدن محمد) is a Somali politician. He served as the Minister of Culture and Higher Education of Somalia under Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed. Duale Adan Mohamed succeeded Maryam Qaasim when her post as Minister for Human Development and Public Services ended on 17 January 2014. The Ministry was split to allow the creation of 6 cabinet positions one of which was the Ministry of Culture and Higher Education. The other 5 cabinet positions are Ministry of Health, Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, Ministry of Women and Human Rights, Ministry of Education. On 12 January 2015, Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke announced his new cabinet which merged the Ministry of Culture and Higher Education with the Ministry of Education. Instead this meant that the new Minister of Education (Abdullahi Ahmed Jama) would take on some additional roles. Duale Adan Mohamed was instead appointed the Minister of Youth and Sports. However, he only served 2 weeks when on 17 January 2015, Prime Minister Sharmarke dissolved his newly nominated cabinet due to vehement opposition by legislators, who rejected the reappointment of certain former ministers. On 27 January 2015, Sharmarke appointed a new, smaller 20 minister cabinet of which Duale Adan Mohamed was replaced by Mohamed Omar Arte.
On 17 January 2014, Mohamed was appointed Minister of Culture and Higher Education of Somalia by Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed.
In August 2014, Duale opened a workshop on disaster management in Mogadishu. The function was attended by government ministers, political figures, NGO representatives, domestic and international university officials, and various dignitaries. According to the chairman of the parliamentary social services committee Osman Mohamed Mohamud Dufle, the program brought together local and foreign experts with the aim of promoting higher education in the nation. The five-day workshop was organized by the University of Benadir.
