Since the Somali state collapsed more than 18 years ago, the international community has struggled with the challenges of state building. While local actors in Somaliland and Puntland have achieved a working consensus on governance issues, South/Central Somalia has experienced continued disintegration.
The Africa Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center and Creative Associates are pleased to co-sponsor the unveiling of two studies on Somalia in the United States by Interpeace, and Conciliation Resources, respectively:
Peace Mapping study of local, regional and national level peace initiatives
and
Accord 21: Whose peace is it anyway? Connecting Somali and International Peacemaking
The reports provide the international community, in partnership with Somalis, with a road map for future engagement, which involves a highly participatory and inclusionary process throughout society requiring patience and a deep understanding that there are no quick fixes.
