Both primary and secondary data was used. Primary data was collected from the respondents through self-administered questionnaire and key informant interview guide.

Results revealed that there is a positive significant relationship between delegation, devolution, deconcentration and socio-economic development with 0.082, 0.913 and 0.695 Pearson correlation coefficient values respectively. The study concluded that effective transfer of responsibility for planning, financing and managing public functions, from the central government to lower levels of government improves the efficiency and effectiveness of government provided goods and services. The study recommends that the government should review and improve local economic development in Mogadishu through engaging community members. Transparency at the local level should also be enhanced through score cards for public services.
