Research

Evidence and opinion

Primary research done in Somaliland, in Somali, by people who understand what the answers mean.

What it is

Evidence you can act on, gathered where the decisions land.

Most numbers about Somaliland are estimated from a distance. Ours are not. We field surveys across all six regions, in Somali, with sampling that respects how the country is actually organised, and we read the results with the political context that gives them meaning.

01

Public opinion polling

Constituency surveys across all six regions, with clan-sensitive sampling and Somali-language fieldwork.

02

Political risk and scenarios

Structured assessments and scenario analysis for investors, partners and institutions weighing a move.

03

Electoral analysis

Registration, turnout, district-level results and forecasting, built from the ground up.

04

Media and narrative monitoring

Across Somali-language broadcast, print and social platforms, so you see the story as it forms.

05

Commissioned studies

Bespoke research and due diligence on sectors, regions and institutions.

How we work

In the field, in the language, in context.

1

Design

We build the instrument and the sample around the real question and the real geography.

2

Field

Our researchers collect in Somali, across the regions, with quality control at every step.

3

Interpret

We read the data with political context, so you get meaning, not just a chart.

What you get

Asked in Somali. Read in context.

A number without context misleads. We deliver both, and we stand behind the method.
