Debates and dialogues 

SONSAF believes the Somali wisdom of “If we agree to talk, we will come to an agreement” based on this wisdom, the umbrella organizes debates and dialogues that emphasis national issues. The nature of debates/dialogues that the umbrella organizes varies including election debates, policy/acts dialogues, peace dialogues, climate change/environment dialogues, political inclusion of marginalized groups dialogues, localization dialogues and many more. After each debate/dialogue SONSAF conducts impact assessment to determine change of community perception on the discussed debate/dialogue subject. Dialogue is important in democracy as people are given space to engage and discuss critical issues that affect them which creates a higher chance for a Country to implement reforms that can contribute to lasting peace, cultivating a thriving inclusive democracy.
