Abstract
This study sought to establish the relationship between non-governmental organisations policies
and human rights implementation in Mogadishu, Somalia. Specifically, the study sought to
establish the relationship between NGOs human rights advocacy, volunteer and political
accountability policies and human rights implementation. The study adopted the cross-sectional
survey design using both the quantitative and qualitative approaches. The data collection
instrument was a self-administered questionnaire on a sample of I 69 respondents. Quantitative
data were analysed using descriptive statistics, co1Te!ation and multiple regression analysis.
Descriptive statistics findings indicated that human rights implementation was low, NGOs
advocacy, voluntary and political accountability policies implementation was high. Co1Telation
results revealed that NGOs advocacy policy had an insignificant relationship with human rights
implementation; NGOs voluntary policy had an insignificant relationship with human rights
implementation; and NGOs political accountability had an insignificant relationship with human
rights implementation. The conclusions of the study were that; the NGOs advocacy policy would
be a probable requirement for human rights implementation if there was peace. The NGOs
voluntary policy was not a significant requirement for human rights implementation. The NGOs
political accountability policy was an apparent requirement for human rights implementation in a
country free from war. Therefore, it was recommended that NGOs should focus their effort on
making national government and the international community to implement peace; NGOs should
give support to national governments and international community in promoting peace in
countries ravaged by wars; and NGOs should orient their effort to making national governments
and the international community achieve peace.
