Open Knowledge Somalia’s Post

At RAAGSAN Consulting, our research process is embedded in continuous #learning and #adaptation. Understanding that the needs of communities are dynamic, especially in the diverse landscapes of Somalia, we are committed to staying #relevant and #impactful. Our approach involves not just adapting our methodologies but also ensuring that our findings accurately reflect the changing needs of the communities we serve. #Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. By engaging in #codesign and #validation workshops, we employ a #humancentred approach that allows us to develop recommendations that are not only #tailored to our client's unique needs but also deeply embedded in the #contextual realities of Somalia. This process ensures that our work is not just about providing insights but about crafting solutions that are practical, relevant, and sustainable. #Research #Adaptation #ContinuousLearning #HumanCenteredDesign #Somalia #Raagsan #codesign

RAAGSAN Consulting is dedicated to delivering #impactful research and fostering positive change in Somalia. Our approach involves in-depth data collection, analysis, and reporting, working closely with #local communities, experts, and stakeholders to gather on-ground insights.

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, sustainable economic development has become a necessity, with several large organisations undergoing #transformation programs to chart a path for #sustainability. Yet, despite the prevalence of these initiatives, many fall short of achieving their intended outcomes.   In our journey towards fronting sustainable economic #development, we partnered with USAID Feed the Future Inclusive Agricultural Markets Activity to build our teams’ capacity on Market Systems Development (MSD) Programming. This took place last week at the Golf Course Hotel – Kampala, attracting active participation from 25 Programs, Investment/ Access to Finance, and Research & Learning staff.   See how we are implementing sustainable solutions that spur economic growth at the bottom of the pyramid ---> https://lnkd.in/dYbenPXy.

📢  Announcement 📢 We are 1 of 8 successful organisations of the #GSMAInnovationFund for Anticipatory #Humanitarian Action. Over the next 18 months, with the support of the @GSMA and @Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, NAXA, along with Institute of Himalayan Risk Reduction, Folkekirkens Nødhjælp (DanChurchAid), and Viamo will leverage #DASTAA to help anticipate potential #humanitarian #digital #technology impacts and enable effective early response. https://bit.ly/3FR35g3 #UKAid

I am delighted to share that NAXA, together with its partners Institute of Himalayan Risk Reduction, @DanChurchAid, Viamo will scale an Anticipatory Action AA platform, i.e., Digital and Spatial Technologies for Anticipatory Action “DASTAA” to flood prone wards of the lower Mahakali basin with the aim of enhancing anticipatory actions and reducing the impacts of disaster at the household level. This approach includes profiling the disaster risks of each household, prior to flooding, monitoring thresholds, enabling local government and humanitarian agencies to take evidence-based decisions for targeted disaster preparedness and recovery programs.
