The Knowledge Economy: Somalia

‘Knowledge is power’ is true on many levels for data collection and analyses within the development sector. Too often, the voices of western consultants that are shortly flown into the country are valued over local voices. In this episode, Somali Public Agenda director Mahad Wasuge discusses his report on how this ‘knowledge business’ is especially harmful in countries like Somalia, with a weaker state and security issues. He does so with Abdinasir Hussein, who will share his experiences on the topic from his work as Sr. M&E Officer for Conflict Dynamics International.
