Is the Budget Advancing Fiscal Decentralization and Inclusive Development?
EAST examines whether Somaliland’s expanding 2026 budget translates into stronger local government and inclusive development. The national budget reaches approximately USD 654.99 million, but local government allocations fall slightly while central government and donor-financed projects grow. The analysis highlights dependence on customs revenue, the concentration of spending in security and employee compensation, and the need for predictable, equitable fiscal transfers. It provides evidence-led recommendations for revenue modernization, municipal finance and accountable public investment.
