The Somali school of government’s mission is to educate the diverse members of parliament on the procedures and long history of Parliamentary rule. As there has been no parliament in Somalia for more than a generation now, there is an identified need to instruct MPs in the traditions of a functioning and transparent national debating chamber.

This series of ten backgrounders is designed to upskill all MPs – and civil servants – in the history of liberal democracy, as well as in parliamentary and electoral processes. By providing these overviews as reference material, the ssog aims to establish common understandings for all politicians and those in public service.

It is hoped that a grasp of this history, and these processes, will ensure a smooth transition to the disciplines required of representative government. It is further hoped such knowledge will enable the achievements such government brings – and clarify the boundaries and interwoven responsibilities of both tribal and parliamentary representation.
