Mohamed’s current and ongoing research focuses on the social, economic and political impact of Mobile Money with the emphasis on safe and secure ways to uphold cash flow and transactions taking Somaliland as a case study. He is further involved in developing a practical solution to enable local individuals and businesses to transfer money through the global financial hub ensuring instant transfer of cash. Mohamed worked on a just completed DfID funded research on accountability with PRIO based on fieldwork conduct in all six regions of Somaliland.
