About us
Puntland Development & Research Centre (PDRC) is a successor body of former War-torn Societies Project International (WSPI), which operated in Puntland during 1997–99. On October 30, 1999, the center was founded as an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit research institute dedicated to peacebuilding, promotion of democracy and respect for human rights. PDRC is now celebrating its 20thanniversary in which the center has accumulated 20 years in research development, policy advising and educating / awareness raising. PDRC has provided a platform for the government and opposition political figures to resolve disagreements leading up to multiple, peaceful, transitions of power. The center has also conducted mediation dialogues between elders of feuding clans conducting, time and again proving our commitment to the restoration of peace, stability and progress on numerous forefronts. More specifically, the Rako Peace Agreement and Xero-Jalle Peace Agreement testify on PDRC’s capacity to deliver local peace building. Puntland Development and Research Center (PDRC) initiated a monthly event called PDRCTalks. This event is a new initiative to spread ideas, messages, and awareness on issues related to Somalia. These issues cover topics ranging from governance, democratisation, peace and development which are the key focus areas of PDRC.
