The Institute for Somali Studies (ISOS) was established in March 5, 2001 by a group of Somali educators, researchers, and intellectuals affiliated to the Mogadishu University. The purpose of the Institute is to take the lead in research and analysis to address, and facilitate the need for national economic, political and social development for post-conflict Somalia. The intention of this institution is to identify the existing national problems and threats and then determine the available solutions. It is the mandate of the Institute to, through research and analysis, provide the available options and analyse the alternative solutions. The institute will serve as think-tank to consult with the right directions, as need arises.
