Description: Somalia is a federal state made of the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS), the five Federal Member States (FMS) of Puntland, Galmudug, Hirshabelle, South-West and Jubbaland, and the self-declared independent state of Somaliland. The decentralised system has yielded benefits in terms of operationalising public and other development activities but created notable constitutional problems.
