Garowe Principles

Garowe Principles refer to a set of agreements between the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia and various Somali stakeholders outlining a framework for the interim administration’s scheduled political transition in August 2012 to a permanent, representative government.

• The second set of principles were agreed in the second Somali National Consultative Constitutional Conference in February 2012, where in it was agreed to the establishment of federal states as referenced in the Transitional Federal Charter of 2004, deciding the status of Mogadishu by a federal parliament, and recognizing Puntland as a founding federal state.
