Innovation is at the heart of CIRSI’s response to the complex and evolving challenges facing Somalia. Acknowledging the limitations of traditional approaches in fragile contexts, we actively promote innovative methodologies, embrace participatory research models that empower communities, and champion community-driven solutions that are locally relevant and effective.
Through our research and diverse engagements, we foster new ways of thinking about critical issues such as service delivery, governance reform, youth employment, and the effectiveness of humanitarian interventions. At CIRSI, innovation extends beyond technology to encompass the reshaping of processes and the forging of adaptive, effective, and inclusive partnerships that lead to meaningful change.
