Research for Somalia

Research that starts with Somali questions and ends with practical answers.

Why research matters

The world's leading universities are not only teaching institutions – they create new knowledge. For Somalia, local research is especially important: much of the data on health, education and the economy is old or missing, and solutions designed elsewhere do not always fit.
