Research and analysis

Aspirations Survey Phase Two in Baidoa, Kismayo and Mogadishu

Fifteen participants attended the Joint Analysis Workshop organized in conjunction with REACH. The workshop's purpose was to allow stakeholders to review the preliminary findings and share any recommendations they deem supported by the evidence. ReDSS and REACH received critical feedback on safety and security, social integration, livelihood and employment, and housing land property themes.

REACH is working on a revised version of the report, which ReDSS will share during a dissemination session in the first quarter of 2022.
