The third update from RVI’s Somali Dialogue Platform project examines political dynamics around elections in Somalia and considerations for advancing dialogue to reach consensus.

The update is a product of the Somali Dialogue Platform, which supports Somalis to achieve consensus on contentious political issues. The Platform is implemented by the Rift Valley Institute and FDG Synergy. Somali Public Agenda also contributed to this research. The Somali Dialogue Platform is funded by the UK Department for International Development. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect the UK government’s official policies.
