- ItemTurkey’s Development Assistance and Nation Building: A Case of Mogadishu Somalia(2024) Abdiaziz Ali WehlieThe study's goal was to investigate how Turkey contributes to nation-building and development aid in Mogadishu, Somalia. First, to ascertain the impact of Turkey's state stabilization on nation-building; second, to investigate the effects of Turkey's institutional consolidation on nation-building in Mogadishu, Somalia; and third, to assess the contribution of Turkey's sustainable development of states to nation-building in Mogadishu, Somalia. Information was gathered from 164 and 8 quantitative and qualitative respondents, respectively, with the information provided for the study. Data analysis was carried out using regression analysis and the study's mean and standard deviation. The study was carried out by entities connected to Turkey Development Assistance. The p-values were all below the 95% confidence interval, indicating that Turkey's institutional consolidations had a substantial impact on nation-building. Because the p-values were all below the 95% confidence interval, the researcher argues that Turkey's state stabilization had a substantial impact on country building, and that Turkey's consolidation had a modest statistically significant impact on Somalia's nation building, at 26.9%. Thus, the researcher argues that Turkey's state stability had a minimally statistically significant (20.2%) impact on Somalia's nation-building. Thirdly, as all of the p-values fell below the 95% confidence interval, Turkey's sustainable growth had a noteworthy impact on nation-building. Based on this, the researcher argues that Somalia's nation-building was significantly impacted by Turkey's state stabilization, but only marginally (20.2%). More so because all of the p-values were below the 95% confidence interval, Turkey's sustainable growth had a noteworthy impact on nation-building. According to the study, Turkey's sustainable development has a statistically significant impact on Somalia's nation-building, although a little one at 25.3%. Development of nation building is crucial to the realization of nation building in Mogadishu, Somalia, according to the study's conclusion that Turkey's institutional consolidation may be an apparatus for the realizations of the ideals for country building. Among other solutions, the study's second conclusion is that state stabilization initiatives should be developed. Thus, under this scenario, the study concludes that state stabilization is beneficial and essential to Somalia's realization of nation building. The third finding of the study indicates that if Turkey steps up its efforts in sustainable development, nation-building in Mogadishu, Somalia, will be adequately realized in the functional ways. In order to achieve nation building, the report recommends that institutions be built via collaboration and mediation efforts, which Turkey's development aid may lead. Thirdly, in order for the foreign forces to survive among them, Turkey and other foreigners must establish local forces. The resources required for organizational excellence need to be developed. The report suggests creating a suitable atmosphere for Somali counties to stabilize their system security and intelligence.
- ItemInformation, Communication and Technology (ICT) Services and Refugees’ Rights Violation in Kyaka II Refugee Settlement, Kyegegwa Disrict, Uganda.(2024) Mugisha RobertoThe study investigated the relationship between information, communication and technology (ICT) services and refugees’ rights violation in Kyaka II refugee settlement, Kyegegwa district, Uganda. The study was guided by the following objectives: To assess the effects ICT access on refugee rights to information, evaluate the impact of ICT advocacy and awareness strategies on refugee rights to freedom of expression and examine the impact of ICT services on access to essential services and right to health care, education and legal aid for refugees in Kyaka II Settlement in Kyegegwa district. The Theory of social navigation by Henrik Vigh and capability approach theory guided the study. The study employed a cross-sectional study design involving qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study was carried out at Kyaka II refugee settlement in Kyegegwa district. The study aimed at identifying and addressing the challenges faced in leveraging ICT services for refugee rights promotion and protection such as ensuring equitable access, addressing digital divides, protecting privacy and promoting inclusivity in social service delivery. The study can serve as a foundation for future research and innovation in the field of ICT and refugee rights. It can inspire further investigations into emerging technologies, best practices, and novel approaches that can be leveraged to address the evolving needs and challenges faced by refugees worldwide. Data were obtained from 300 respondents using questionnaire and interview guide. The findings revealed that most refugees (83.3%) report receiving information about advocacy initiatives, rights awareness or support services. This suggests that the different strategies are reaching many refugees. Majority of respondents (66.6% strongly agreed + 16.6% agreed) believe that essential services like education, healthcare, and legal assistance are readily available in their community. However, a notable minority (16.6%) disagreed, suggesting there is room for improvement in accessibility of these essential services.". However, there is still a minority of refugees (16.7%) who do not have access to this information. The study also revealed that, exploring options like zero-rating specific websites or offering data bundles, interpretation services, free mobile phones and digital hubs specifically for accessing essential information can enable refugees in Kyaka II navigate through the complex digital environment. Limited access to, and underutilization of ICT services especially access to relevant and reliable information disempowers the refugees from effectively advocating for their needs, challenge discriminatory policies, and seek justice hence perpetuating refugee rights violation, (Bhabha& Finch, 2018). The study recommends that, the NGOs, government agencies, telecommunication providers, and refugee community leaders should collaborate to implement subsidies, free access points, and partnerships with information providers to reduce the cost of accessing information and developing ICT infrastructures. Conclusively, the study contributes in the exiting knowledge by understanding the role of ICT services in promoting human rights or expanding rights violation through capturing comprehensive analysis of both qualitative and quantitative insights from a context specific study in Kyaka II which provides a framework for similar studies in humanitarian settings with real life experiences with respondents.

The study concluded that social development has been at the heart of many developing countries in trying to close the divides that exist between rural and urban populations. And among the many strategies used to reach out to such communities is the use of ICT in service delivery to achieving equitable development. The study recommends that there is need to provide financial incentives, such as subsidies or grants, to university students to enable them to acquire and use laptops, fostering greater access to ICT and supporting cultural preservation efforts. The government of Somalia also needs to invest in expanding ICT infrastructure, especially in underserved areas, to further enhance access to quality education. This includes providing necessary hardware, software, and internet connectivity to schools in these regions. Additionally, invest in programs that enhance digital literacy for all members of the community
