Research
We aim to transform knowledge and scientific findings while shedding light on critical areas necessary for equitable and sustainable global development through top-tier research, learning, and teaching.
In the past two years, we have collaborated with governments, charities, academic institutions, and civil society organizations to drive social, political, and economic change.
In a time marked by significant environmental, social, political, economic, and technological disruptions, we are dedicated to understanding people's lived experiences and the realities that shape them, while translating policy into practice to enhance lives.
Our approach includes :
- Influencing changes in politics and culture
- Influencing changes in politics and culture
- - Building the capacity of academics, practitioners, and policymakers to generate, access, and apply research and knowledge
- Developing and strengthening essential networks for sharing and organizing research and knowledge to foster positive change
Addressing challenges
Our ability to swiftly mobilize decades of knowledge and expert networks in response to disease outbreaks is saving thousands of lives in Somaliland, Somalia, and West Africa. We improve the targeting of humanitarian efforts and guide national governments, charities, and communities on better preparedness for future diseases.
Supporting long-term development
Our research also plays a vital role in the long-term development of Somaliland, Somalia, Ethiopia, and East Africa. Somaliland serves as a model of progressive, pro-poverty, and country-driven development, achieved through the integration of research and policy.
For Instances (Case studies):
Through our ongoing collaboration with the Ministry of Health in Somaliland, we will focus on researching areas with gaps, presenting our findings to the Ministry, and taking actionable steps for effective progress. Supporting economic growth and good governance for the poor ,We work to establish new partnerships that generate millions of dollars in additional tax revenue, which can be reinvested into the national development of countries. Taxation is a key focus for policymakers as a primary means of financing sustainable development. In Somaliland, for instance, the government has made it a priority to enhance health services, improve education, strengthen tax collection to lessen reliance on foreign aid, and boost public spending in critical areas like infrastructure, education, agriculture, and health. In partnership with the Somaliland revenue agency, CDC researchers are assisting in the development of a more efficient and effective tax system that will promote economic growth and good governance
