Abstract
This study carried out an investigation on the role of public sector administration on
community service provision in Mogadishu, Somalia. The objectives of the study were
1) to explore the process of public sector administration in Mogadishu, Somalia 2) to
examine the success of community service provision in Mogadishu, Somalia and 3) to
establish the relationship between public sector administration and community service
provision in Mogadishu, Somalia. The study employed descriptive correlation study
design which involved both quantitative and qualitative approaches. With regards to this
method, the researcher used structured questionnaires containing three sections A, B
and C. Section A dealt with profile of respondents, B dealt with the process of public
sector administration and C dealt with community service provision. Out of a target
population of 141, 104 respondents were identified as the sample size by use of the
Slovene’s formula. Simple random sampling and purposive sampling techniques were
used to identify the respondents to take part in the study. Analysis entailed frequencies,
percentages, means, standard deviation, t statistic, ranks, charts and interpretations.
Findings suggested that the process of public sector administration was poor and so
was the community service provision. It was also established that there was a
relationship between a relationship between public sector administration and
community service provision which stood at 0J83 on the Pearson Correlation scale
which was interpreted as positive and strong relationship. In terms of causality, public
sector administration was also found to influence community service provision by an R2
coefficient of 0~613 which was interpreted as significant. The study suggests more
budgetary allocations, more friendly public policies, reinforcement of public institutions
and involvement of the public in policy formulations
