Student Researchers

Nurturing the Next Generation of Thinkers

The Somaliland Center for Global Transformation (SCGT) Student Researchers Program provides a platform for emerging scholars to gain hands-on experience in research, policy analysis, and knowledge creation. Guided by experienced mentors, our student researchers contribute to projects that address Somaliland’s most pressing challenges — from governance and economic policy to sustainability, technology, and climate action.

We believe that developing the next generation of researchers is critical to sustaining Somaliland’s progress in a globally connected world.
