Somaliland Strategy Analysis Framework: Media
For the purposes of this democratization strategy assessment, analysis of media interests, needs
and priorities took place within a framework developed based on issues that cut across the
sector as a whole, both above it and within it. It loosely corresponds to the categories addressed
by the IREX media sustainability index.
A graphical representation of the Somaliland media framework is shown below:
This framework includes categories and sub-categories of media work, interests, and influences,
both real and potential in the case of Somaliland. Some of the subcategories were not addressed
at all by Somalilanders in interviews or workshops due to lack of time, knowledge, or perceived
prioritization on the part of Somalilander participants, but are nonetheless helpful to identify
next steps, relative priorities and overlap with donor interests.
