Riyaada Research & Publication Portfolio: Building Evidence For Policy And Institutional Transformation

Welcome to RIYAADA’s Research & Publication Portfolio – a robust structure intended to build connections between rigorous research, open scholarship, and policy relevance to support institutional transformation of institutions in Somalia and the Greater Global South.

This portfolio maps RIYAADA’s research agenda and thematic areas, the architecture of its publications system, and the system of governance and leadership within it across themes including Leadership and institutional transformation; Public governance; Health systems; Peacebuilding; Education; and Sustainable development. 

Through it, RIYAADA defines clear paths through a research cycle, from prioritization, protocol development, research and analysis, ethical research conduct, through peer review, publication and dissemination, to research utilization and impact assessment.

Under the Research and publication portfolio, RIYAADA also defines quality standards for peer-reviewed articles, policy briefs, working papers, technical reports, case studies, datasets, and a host of other knowledge products that may be produced under its sponsorship and aegis, with a firm stand on research ethics; editorial integrity; open access publishing; responsible authorship; governance of research data; and achievement of impact.
