Puntland Development and Research Center (PDRC) carried out a baseline assessment of community needs for public awareness and civic education on state- building in Puntland State. The assessment aimed to identify gaps in public knowledge and understanding on the current state-building processes to inform the design and delivery of effective, locally responsive and sustainable public awareness and civic education interventions.
This report draws on data collected and analyzed from surveys, interviews and focus groups discussions in six districts of five regions in Puntland State. The findings and recommendations of this assessment forms the evidence base for a more holistic and participatory planning and implementation of Talo-wadaag II program interventions to achieve greater citizens engagement on governance issues, accountability and understanding rights and responsibilities relative to state and local governance.
