Our Executive Director, @MahadWasuge, attended the @SomaliREN Annual Council Meeting and Annual Leaders’ Retreat, held in Nairobi on February 14–15, 2026. The conference brought together 31 member institutions—29 universities and two research institutions—to review SomaliREN’s 2025 performance and plans for 2026. Findings from the SomaliREN Higher Education e-Readiness Assessment Report were also presented and discussed. In addition to member institutions, representatives from other research and education networks from Kenya (Kenya Education Network), Uganda (Research and Education Network for Uganda), and Tanzania (Tanzania Education and Research Network) presented their structures and shared their work with SomaliREN member institutions. Collaboration in research among universities and research institutions was also discussed during the meeting. SPA officially joined the network in May 2024 and actively contributed to the two-day deliberations.
