Somalia
Background
In 2004, after years of chaos and numerous failed attempts at state-building, Somalia’s five-year interim Transitional Federal Government (TFG) came into power. Its President, Prime Minister and Parliamentarians reflect a delicate balance of representatives across most clans and sub-clans. The current situation is extremely fragile, and sharp divisions have emerged within the TFG that endanger the emerging process. Divisions within Somalia, including the autonomous and relatively stable governments of Somaliland in the Northwest and Puntland in the Northeast, threaten the stability of the newly formed government. USAID’s program in Somalia is working to help the stabilization process, focusing on humanitarian assistance, conflict mitigation, civil society expansion and broader access to education and health services.
