ABOUT US
Gole-Kaab is a transformative initiative designed to enhance citizen engagement and participation in parliamentary proceedings in Somalia. This project supports Somali civil society organizations (CSOs) in bridging the gap between lawmakers and the public. It also fosters transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in governance. By leveraging innovative tools such as media and technology, Gole-Kaab empowers citizens to monitor legislative activities, provide informed feedback, and advocate for inclusive policies. At its core, Gole-Kaab aims to strengthen democracy at the Federal Parliament of Somalia (House of the People), executive offices, and state levels. It ensures the voices of underrepresented groups, including women and youth, are heard and addressed. The initiative focuses on building trust between parliament, CSOs, and citizens by prioritizing their interests in legislative processes. It ensures laws and policies are inclusive, transparent, and responsive to the needs of the Somali people. Gole-Kaab predicts a Somalia where democratic governance thrives through active citizen participation and robust oversight mechanisms. Through capacity-building programs, advocacy campaigns, and the establishment of communication channels, Gole-Kaab empowers CSOs to play a pivotal role in shaping Somalia’s democratic future. It also addresses critical gaps in citizen awareness by educating communities about decision-making processes within government institutions. This empowerment enables citizens to hold lawmakers accountable while advocating for policies that reflect their priorities.
