SPA Learning Lab

On May 14, 2026, we had the pleasure of reconnecting with our alumnus, Abdullahi Ahmed, a graduate of the 6th cohort of SPA’s Blog Writing Training Program and the 2nd cohort of the Research Training Program, both conducted in 2024.

During the meeting, Abdullahi shared insights into his blogging journey and the research projects he is currently pursuing. It was inspiring to learn about his continued passion for writing and research, as well as his ongoing professional growth.

We are proud of Abdullahi’s achievements and wish him continued success in his academic and professional journey.

On April 23, 2026, we had a wonderful catch-up with our alumna, Mariam M Sheikhow—a university lecturer and graduate of both the 3rd cohort of SPA’s Blog Writing Training Program and the 3rd cohort of the Research Training Program.

The blog writing training opened new career opportunities for her, while the research training equipped her with the skills to supervise undergraduate graduation projects. She also participated in the 2025 Institute for Somali Studies Conference, where she presented a research paper.

During our meeting, Mariam shared her progress and expressed her appreciation to SPA for supporting her professional growth.

We are proud of Mariam and her continued achievements.

On March 29, 2026, we had a meaningful catch-up with our alumnus, Adam Osman, a graduate of the first cohort of SPA’s Blog Writing Training Program.

Since 2021, Adam has consistently published reflective, learning-oriented blog posts, sharing his insights on a quarterly basis. This skill has not only strengthened his writing but also opened up new professional opportunities. He expressed his appreciation to Somali Public Agenda for playing a role in his journey.

During the session, we reflected on his progress, discussed his experiences, and explored pathways for his continued professional growth.

We remain committed to supporting our alumni beyond the training itself and to staying connected as they advance in their careers. We are proud of Adam and the progress he continues to make.

On February 26, 2026, we had the pleasure of meeting with our alumna, Sumaya Muhumed Ahmed, for a catch-up session. Sumaya is a graduate of the third cohort of SPA’s Research Training Program. During the meeting, we reflected on her recent research work and discussed her ongoing professional development.

The purpose of the meeting was to offer continued advice and guidance to our alumni as they advance in their careers. It was truly rewarding to reconnect with Sumaya and learn about the remarkable progress she has made since completing the program.
