It will shed light on the various ways in which civil society organizations have been actively engaged in state-building, such as advocating for good governance, promoting human rights, facilitating peacebuilding initiatives, and providing essential services to communities. Furthermore, the study will assess the impact of civil society’s involvement in state-building efforts, including the challenges and opportunities they encounter. It will evaluate the effectiveness of their strategies, the extent of their influence on policy-making processes, and their ability to mobilize communities and foster social cohesion. The results of the study will be significant for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers interested in understanding the complex dynamics of state-building in fragile contexts like Somalia. It will provide insights into the potential contributions of civil society organizations and inform strategies for enhancing their role in state-building processes.
