    The study assessed the governance and poverty alleviation in Mogadishu-Somalia. The objectives of the study were to; investigate the governance effectiveness in MogadishuSomalia, to assess the poverty condition of communities in Mogadishu-Somalia, to find out the relationship between governance and poverty alleviation in Mogadishu-Somalia. The research used a descriptive design, descriptive co relational, cross sectional and survey designs. It was descriptive in that it described the characteristics of respondents in collecting data from the study population totallingSOOOrespondents. Sampling technique was used to select the sample of 370 respondents from Mogadishu, Somalia, Ministry of interior affairs committee, other community members, Parliament committee, Local government committee were interviewed. Data was analysed using descriptive analysis option of SPSS, and was then presented using Pearson correlation. It was found out that; it was found out that; males greatly participated in the study as represented by 54.0% whereas 46.0% of the respondents were females; implying that district of Hodan,Waaberi,Warta Nabadde,XamarJabjab and XamarWeyne mostly employed males as they are known of their strong influence and ability in government programmes compared to females. It was also found out that the task of running schools in Somalia was initially taken up by community education committees established in 94% of the local schools respondents (strongly agreed=4.35) "Education is a proven fundamental base for human development, yet the PASDEP has not well defined the details on how a mobile comrnunity can have access to education at all levels. Still the Somali region has been trying to develop a more effective education sector in terms of access, quality, equity, efficiency and relevance to the pastoralist people of the region who haven't been extended education opportunities during the previous regimes". The study recommends that poverty reduction programs must target the poor, they must not do so benevolently. The poor need to be engaged in shaping their own destiny through well-informed participatory politics. Among the poor, women and children are quite often the most unheard, hence the most by-passed in policy making and policy formulation. This is particularly so in the area of health and education.
