Brenton Peterson

I am a Director and Co-Founder of the Sababi Institute, an independent research center based in Hargeisa, Somaliland. Previously I was the Director of Research at Consilient and Chief Research Quality Officer at Forcier Consulting. My research in Somalia focuses on post-conflict stabilization, governance, politics, and the provision of justice. Currently I am working on a long-term study of Somali customary justice (xeer), a study on juvenile interactions with the Somali justice system, and the expansion of administrative data collection in Somaliland.
