PUBLIC SERVICE EXCELLENCE IN SOMALIA

What We Do

We are a non-profit that works to advance the understanding and improvement of governance and public services in Somalia. We do research, public service design, and training on governance and service delivery.

Research

Somali Public Agenda contributes to the improvement of public administration and social services in Somalia through research and analysis on various issues that affect public policies and provision of public services.

Design

Based on the findings and policy recommendations of our studies, we design public policies, programmes and projects with the relevant authorities. In collaboration with policymakers, public administrators and the community, we will design knowledge based public services.

Training

Based on the findings of our research, Somali Public Agenda offers short training courses to contribute to the building of administrative cadres that can deliver public policies and programmes to the community.
