    The study examined the effectiveness of implementation of national NGO bi-laws in Somaliland. The key objectives of the study were to determine the level of performance of selected NGOs in Somaliland before and after the implementation of NGO bi-laws of Somaliland; to determine if there is a significant relationship between National NGO bi-laws implementation and organizational performance of selected NGOs in Somaliland; to recommend ideas and strategies to policy makers in Somaliland on how to further improve the performance of selected NGO5 in Somaliland. Data was collected on sample of 105 respondents from selected local and international NGO5 in Haergesia Somaliland using a self-administered questionnaire scored on five-point Likert scale. The study found out that NGO5 had adopted and implemented National NGO Bi-laws and there was a high level of organizational performance after the implementation of national NGO bi-laws. Implementation of National NGO bi-laws had a high significant relationship with organizational performance.
