Abstract: Building on a World Bank regional study in Africa aiming at measuring social contracts concepts and within the framework of reflecting on future donor interventions, this paper applies social contracts measurement and complements with qualitative assessments in Somalia. This paper uses the framework developed regionally to explore the citizen-state bargain and social outcomes in Somalia and is relevant for most fragile and conflict-affected countries.
