The Association of Local Government Authorities of Puntland State Somalia (ALGAPL)

The Association of Local Government Authorities of Puntland State Somalia (ALGAPL) was founded in 2014, in Garowe, by Mayors of the key Municipalities/District Councils in Puntland State. The Association was meant to provide a platform for members to exchange experiences and replicate best practices. Since inception, ALGAPL has gone through a range of challenges, some of which were internal to the organization and the others external. The environment in which the association has had to operate is one in which the State Government of Puntland embarked on the implementation of the newly adopted constitution, subsequent legislation of local government law number 7/(2003), implementation of the decentralistaion policy. The socio-economic environment in the State presented unique challenges to a voluntary organization that is dependent on the goodwill of the members and funding support for its financial sustainability. This is to be seen in the context of a state emerging from internal strife, with limited resources that are locally generated and focused on conflict resolution and peace building in different parts of the State. The implementation of the reform agenda requires that ALGAPL makes its contribution towards improved democratic governance at the local level.
