Research Projects

Research initiatives that generate evidence, strengthen institutional learning and contribute to policy and public-sector development.

Research Portfolio

Evidence Through Applied Research

The research materials provided for the CSI website demonstrate research activity addressing practical public-interest and public-sector issues.

The documented studies include research on road traffic accident determinants in Hargeisa City and examination cheating in Somaliland secondary schools. These studies illustrate the use of research to examine challenges, generate evidence and support informed discussion.

The EPSU visit report also identifies potential future collaboration through joint research initiatives, international research grant applications and research conferences.

Research in Practice

CSI's documented research work connects empirical study, knowledge dissemination, institutional learning and potential collaboration with research and academic institutions.
