The Somali Development Research Institute (SODRI) Forum serves as a hub for scholars, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners interested in advancing knowledge, fostering dialogue, and promoting development initiatives in Somalia and the Horn of Africa region.

At SODRI Forum, We aim to:

• Facilitate discussions on socio-economic development, governance, peacebuilding, and humanitarian issues relevant to Somalia and the wider Horn of Africa region.
• Share research findings, policy analyses, and best practices to inform evidence-based decision-making and development strategies.
• Provide a platform for networking, collaboration, and knowledge exchange among individuals and organizations committed to the development of Somalia.
• Engage with diverse perspectives, voices, and experiences to promote inclusive and participatory approaches to development.
• Amplify the voices of Somali scholars, researchers, and practitioners, and contribute to the global discourse on development challenges and solutions.
