โ€‹Today, the SOR Institute: Somali Social Research joins the global community in celebrating the incredible dedication, skill, and resilience of midwives.
โ€‹Midwives are more than healthcare providers; they are the backbone of maternal and newborn health. Our research consistently highlights that when we invest in midwives, we invest in the very foundation of a thriving society. From rural communities to urban centers, their expertise ensures safe births and healthier futures for the next generation of Somalis.

โ€‹On this May 5th, we renew our commitment to supporting midwifery through data-driven advocacy and social research. To the midwives standing on the front lines: Your hands hold our future, and your work saves lives every single day.
โ€‹Thank you for your unwavering service.

After a remarkable year of growth, Sub-Saharan Africa enters 2026 facing a defining test of resilience. In 2025, the region achieved an impressive 4.5% economic growth rate โ€” a testament to years of hard-won stabilization efforts and bold policy reforms across the continent.
But the road ahead demands vigilance.
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has sent shockwaves through global commodity markets, sharply raising the cost of fuel and fertilizer โ€” two lifelines for African economies. At the same time, declining foreign aid and rising food prices are deepening the wounds left by the pandemic, pushing millions further into poverty and food insecurity.
As a result, regional growth is projected to slow to 4.3% in 2026, with significant variation across countries and serious downside risks on the horizon.
The path forward is clear โ€” policymakers must act swiftly to absorb the current shock while laying the groundwork for long-term structural resilience. That means investing in productivity, empowering the private sector, and creating the jobs that millions of young Africans deserve.
Africa's potential is undeniable. With the right policies, the continent can rise above these headwinds and write a stronger story for generations to come. ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฑ

The QS World University Rankings Sub-Saharan Africa 2026 shows a clear pattern: research capacity is geographically clustered.

The strongest concentrations appear in:
โžค Anglophone parts of West Africa
โžค South Africa, especially around Johannesburg
โžค East Africa, with clusters in Kenya and Ethiopia

Ghana, Nigeria, and Cameroon stand out. They combine many top universities within relatively close distance, creating the kind of critical mass that supports excellent research.

High-level research rarely develops in isolation. It depends on proximity: collaboration, competition, shared infrastructure, and academic networks.

Somalia's absence from this map is not surprising โ€” it reflects decades of conflict, institutional collapse, and chronic underfunding of higher education. Universities have struggled to survive, let alone build research infrastructure. There is very little room for academic networks to form when basic stability is still being established.
This is exactly why the question matters:
How can research capacity be strengthened in regions without this density?

Afirca Infrastructure, regional networks, mobility schemes, and institutional partnerships that go beyond national borders could be the answer.
