Abstract
Aiweyd, A. (2023). Somalia’s State Institutions’ Administrative Capacity Building in Education, Health, Judiciary Services, and the Central Bank.
Since independence in 1960, Somalia has experienced sustained clan conflict, political challenges, prolonged civil war, and famine, severely hindering the development and maintenance of a stable federal government. Research on state-building in Somalia has focused on conflict resolution, civil war, piracy, and state failure. Further research is needed on building administrative capacity in Somalia to help develop well-functioning and stable government institutions. Administrative capacity involves the ability of governments to manage human, physical, financial, and informational resources to deliver on objectives related to policy implementation and service. There is a gap in the research on building administrative capacity in Somalia in the areas of education, health, judiciary services, and the central bank, which the Somali government has indicated as important for establishing a stable federal government. The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore administrative capacity building in Somalia in the areas of education, health, judiciary services, and the central bank. Honadle’s (1991) framework for building administrative capacity will serve as the conceptual framework. The research question is designed to explore how Honadle’s framework (1991), which includes anticipating change, developing programs, attracting and managing resources, evaluating activities, and applying lessons to future activities, helps understand building administrative capacity in Somalia in education, health, judiciary services, and the central bank. Data will be collected through interviews with individuals who have experiences with Somali state intuitions, Somali civil war, and post-civil war state building initiatives. Data will be analyzed, coded, and placed into themes. Findings may help inform administrators and leaders about how to increase administrative capacity in Somali institutions to help maintain a stable federal government.
Keywords: administrative capacity, Somali government, health, education, judiciary, banking
