Every federal government body in Somalia and its budget, 2025 to 2027

What this list is

Every year the Ministry of Finance sends parliament an Appropriation Act. Its annex lists each "public body", meaning every federal entity paid fully or partly from the national budget, with a code, the amount it spent last year, its budget this year and the amount proposed for next year (Appropriation Act for 2027, as submitted to parliament). This page copies that annex, sub-head by sub-head. It is the most complete official list of federal bodies that exists in one place.

The act was submitted in November 2026 and still needs the approval of both houses of parliament, so the 2027 amounts can change. The 2025 figures are actual spending; the 2026 figures are the approved budget (same source).

The totals

The proposed 2027 budget is US$1,260,342,662: US$644,188,319 for running costs and US$616,154,343 for projects, most of them paid for by the World Bank, the African Development Bank, the EU and the UN (Appropriation Act for 2027). The 2026 budget was US$1,386,807,242 and actual spending in 2025 was US$969,544,408 (same source). The six biggest budget heads proposed for 2027:

• Ministry of Finance: US$224,298,500
• Ministry of Defence: US$183,598,079
• Ministry of Public Work & Reconstruction: US$121,751,015
• Ministry of Water and Energy: US$93,180,128
• Ministry of National Security: US$89,964,254
• Ministry of Education and Higher Education: US$85,263,701

"Other activities of the state", inside the Ministry of Finance head, holds costs that belong to no single body, such as transfers and shared payments (same source).

Every body, line by line

Amounts are in US dollars. "Part of" names the budget head that the body sits under. "None" means the body had no line that year. Bodies with their own page on this site are linked.

Bodies that are new in the 2027 budget

Four bodies appear with money for the first time in 2027: the Somali Revenue Authority (US$7,748,480), the National Commission for Higher Education (US$730,500), the Somalia Investment Authority (US$152,460) and the National Medicine Regulatory Authority (US$60,000) (Appropriation Act for 2027).

What is not on this list

• Member states: Puntland, Jubaland, South West, Galmudug, Hirshabelle and the Banadir Regional Administration have their own budgets. The federal budget pays them grants, but their ministries are not federal bodies. See Member-state institutions and Puntland's institutions.
• Somaliland: it runs its own government and budget. See Somaliland's institutions.
• The Central Bank: it is independent and keeps its own accounts. See Central Bank of Somalia.
• Donor money outside the budget: much aid goes straight to UN agencies and NGOs and never passes through the Treasury. See Aid and humanitarian funding.
