We advocate for and support the transition to a participatory democracy in Somalia by promoting active and meaningful citizen engagement in decision-making processes. Our work emphasizes the inclusion of marginalized groups—particularly women, youth, displaced, minorities, and persons with disabilities—and the strengthening of civil society’s role in governance. Through civic education and empowerment initiatives, we equip citizens with the knowledge, civic skills, and confidence to engage in public life and shape policies that affect their communities —critical pillars for Somalia’s democratic future.
