(İstanbul Ticaret Üniversitesi, 2022) Aden Abdirahman, Asma; Valiyeva, Kamala
This working paper outlines the opportunities and challenges of federalism and community development in Somalia. In 2004 Somali clan elders and politicians considered adopting federalism as the new system of government and by 2012, Somalia adopted federalism and established four states: Jubaland, Galmudug, Hirshabelle, and the Southwest States, in addition to the previously established states Puntland and Somaliland. This paper focuses on how federalism affects community development in Somalia and identifies opportunities and challenges of federalism for community development. Federalism has offered opportunities with significant improvement in security, economic improvement, a better education system, a healthcare system, power distribution, political stability, and women’s and youth’s empowerment. However, it thus poses challenges which are border conflicts, power disputes, the exploitation of natural resources, and minority injustice. The method used for this research is a survey data analysis.
