February 28, 2026, Israa’iil iyo Mareykanka oo is kaashanaya ayaa weerar cirka ah ku qaaday magaalada Tehraan ee ah caasimadda Iiraan, halkaas oo ay ku beegsadeen hoggaamiyihii sare ee Jamhuuriyadda Islaamiga ah ee Iran iyo saraakiil sarsare. Weerarkaas ka dib waxaa billowday weerarro is dabajoog ah oo aargoosi ah kuwaas oo ay Iiraan ku qaadday Israa’iil, dalalka khaliijka iyo qaar ka mid ah saldhigyada Mareykanku ku leeyahay Bariga Dhexe.
Dagaalkan ayaa abuuray cabsi laga qabo in uu ku fidi karo dalal hor leh oo ay ka mid yihiin dalalka Geeska Afrika sida Soomaaliya. Agaasimaha SPA Policy Lab, Dr. Aweis Ahmed, ayaa faalladan ku gorfeynaya saameynta dagaalka Bariga Dhexe uu ku yeelan karo Soomaaliya gaar ahaan dhinacyada dhaqaalaha, amniga iyo siyaasadda.

While the original design paper offers a detailed account of research findings, design propositions, and implementation blueprints, this version extracts the core analytical and practical insights and presents them in a concise, decision-oriented format for policymakers and practitioners.

“It taught me that a single story can resonate widely, inspire change, and connect people across borders. Thanks to Somali Public Agenda for helping me become a blogger and for introducing such a rare training course in Somalia. That four-week-long course, four years ago, was my window into the blogging world.”

This study examines how Somalia’s public finance systems have evolved since 2012 and how these reforms have affected revenue collection, public spending, transparency, and relations between the federal and state governments.
The findings show that while Somalia has made notable progress—particularly in meeting donor-driven targets—the fiscal system remains fragile and heavily dependent on external pressure and support.

26 new researchers have successfully completed a #researchtraining program conducted by the @SPALearningLab at @somalipubagenda (SPA). We are very proud to have produced more than 56 young researchers over the past three years. Congratulations to all of them.
On November 12, 2025, we had the pleasure of meeting our alumnus, Abdi Ibrahim Mudey, for a catch-up meeting.
Abdi is a graduate of the 4th cohort of SPA’s Blog Writing Training Program. During the meeting, we reflected his blogging journey since 2023.
The purpose of the meeting was to provide advice and guidance to the alumni.
It was a pleasure reconnecting with Abdi and learning about his progress.
