WHY THIS PROGRAM
Questions that matter.
Evidence that can travel.
Somalia needs research that begins with its own questions and remains useful beyond a single report. AI & Research brings together practitioners, institutions and communities to examine real priorities with appropriate methods.
We focus on responsible, understandable work—from defining a question and assessing the available data to evaluating results and communicating what they mean. Where possible, outputs are documented and shared for learning and reuse.
