Research, Knowledge and Evidence

The research documents provided for the CSI website identify the Department of Research and Knowledge Management (RKM) as the institutional home of CSI's research work.

CSI's documented research work includes the production of empirical studies, dissemination of research findings, generation of policy-relevant knowledge and support for evidence-informed policymaking and decision-making.

The research work also connects with institutional learning, innovation, conferences, collaboration and knowledge exchange.

Knowledge for Public Service

CSI's documented commitment is to produce high-quality research, generate policy-relevant knowledge and foster innovation in support of effective governance, improved public service delivery and sustainable development in Somaliland.

Core Research & Knowledge Work
