About ALGASL
ALGASL
The Association of Local Government Authorities of Somaliland (ALGASL) is a non-profit organization that was established by the local government and mayors in February 2006 in Hargeisa to provide support to the local authorities and coordinate activities that benefit the performance of the local government institutions and their employees. Its reason for existence has derived from the decentralization process, which is meant to transfer authority, resources, responsibility, and accountability from central to local government. Algasl is the sole membership organization for local governments in Somaliland that aims to achieve a democratic, participative local government that is more responsive to the needs and aspirations of the citizens resident in Somaliland. Algasl focuses on developing and providing services to municipalities through support for capacity development, promoting closer collaboration among districts, and harmonious and efficient relations with Somaliland’s Central.
Mission
To build strong local governments in Somaliland through advocacy and lobbying, sharing knowledge, building capacity, forging partnerships, and effective integration in the nation, and to transform the association into a vibrant organization that effectively represents its members and contributes to improved service delivery.
Vision
Our vision is to unite local governments in Somaliland and provide them with a platform to meet and exchange experiences / best practices that can be replicated throughout the country as they work with society to promote the social and economic well-being of all citizens through democratic local governance.
