In this episode, we explore efforts to rebuild Somalia's scholarly landscape post-civil conflict. Eng. Ahmed Dahir Siyad from SomaliREN and Mr. Mohamud Mohamed Siad from the Somali Library Association (SLA) discuss challenges and progress in improving digital infrastructure, research access, and libraries.
SomaliREN has connected 50 university campuses to a national network, established a data center, and launched the SORA digital repository, promoting open access to research. Mr. Mohamed, a University Librarian at SIMAD University, formed the Somali Library Association to address the shortage of qualified librarians and enhance digital library management.
The episode highlights the importance of capacity building, collaboration, and government support in advancing Somali higher education, envisioning a future with modern digital libraries, and increased global visibility for Somalia research.
