Somalia is undergoing a critical phase of state-building underpinned by complex and interwoven processes of reconciliation, federalization, constitutional development, and collaborative governance requiring negotiated settlement on the allocation of power and distribution of resources coupled with the urgency of preventive and mitigatory measures for recurrent political and communal conflicts. Responding to these contextual needs/dynamics and building on the key achievements, lessons learned, and institutional partnerships secured through recently concluded Reconciliation and Federalism Support (ReFS) program, a multiyear- successor project has been launched under the title of SOOMAALIYA LOO DHANYAHAY (Inclusive Somalia) aimed at deepening the organic processes of state-building with focus on (a) federal framework, (b) political and social reconciliation and (c) collaborative governance in Somalia.
