Salah, Mursal Abdulalhi; Hersi, Najib Jama; Hassan, Saleban Mohamud; Isse, Abshir Jama
Nepotism is a widespread problem in the public sector hiring process in Somalia, inhibiting effective and efficient services. In light of this, the purpose of this research is to identify the various characteristics that are closely associated to nepotism practices in public sectors, as well as how these aspects affect the efficiency and effectiveness of public sector organizations in Somalia. A quantitative research approach, such as a survey, was used to collect data via a structure questionnaire with sixteen items. According to the study findings, lack of transparency in the recruitment process, influence of personal connections, political interference, weak enforcement of anti-nepotism policies, and insufficient monitoring and accountability mechanisms are the main causes of nepotism in the Somali public sector. This study also highlights the impact of nepotism, such as how it leads to the appointment of unqualified individuals to government positions, impedes the promotion of competent and deserving personnel, lowers the quality of public services, and ultimately destroys public trust in government institutions. The conclusions of this study will help to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of Somalia's public sector organizations.

This study explores the role of NGOs (Non-Governmental Organization) in the poverty reduction of
southern Somalia. In today’s world, three billion people live below US$2 per day. Among them, one
and half billion people live under US$1 per day. About 70-90 percent of the world’s largest unwashed
population in the developing world are poor and the country Somalia is one of them. Therefore, a
study needs to be conducted to investigate the role of NGOs in poverty reduction. The theoretical
background of NGOs, a detailed understanding of the term microfinance, food security, livelihood
and education was clarified for conceptual understanding. It was found with supportive reference
how the NGOs of the country are playing a positive and essential role for the improvement of the
poor and the needy. The mission and activities of NGOs revealed the fact that the NGOs are universal
multifaceted and multidimensional projects aimed at providing education, empowerment of women
etc. Over the years, people have been living in poverty and resources have been distributed unequally
which placed them in vulnerable positions. To solve these problems, NGOs come up with different
strategies such as providing aid to the poor, establishing microfinance entities, national development
in the areas of good governance, and bridging the gap of poverty in southern Somalia. The study was
conducted with descriptive research. The sample was 150 participants or respondents from the total
population. The study used both quantitative and qualitative methods focusing on primary and
secondary data. The data was collected through survey questionnaires. Statistical package for social
science (SPSS) was used to analyze the data. The findings of this study presented that livelihood has
affected the improvement of poverty reduction and decreased, 50 percent of the poor people have
been getting some help from NGOs such as food, housing and shelter. 58 percent of the southern
Somalia people get assistance from NGOs to improve their livelihood. Hence NGOs in southern
Somalia can continue playing the role of catalyst in the attainment of sustainable economic growth
and development provided, also the eradication of poverty, so a warm and dependable relationship is
there between the government and NGOs where both are working for the benefit of the people.
