Humanitarian Outcomes published in October 2023 a study titled "Somali Capacities to Respond to Crisis Are Changing; How Are Humanitarian Actors Responding?" by multiple authors.
Somalia is often seen from the outside as a failed state, home of terrorists and pirates, chronically corrupt, and prone to famine and crisis. But in the decade since the 2011 famine, Somali capacities to respond to crisis have grown, and international aid needs to support those capacities more effectively. This study focused on the resilience capacities of Somali citizens and systems, and how the humanitarian system has engaged with them.
