    Delays are a common issue in construction projects, characterized by the late completion of work compared to the planned or contract schedule. Identifying the causes of delays is crucial for minimizing them. This study aimed to identify the factors causing delays, the effects of delays, and the mitigation strategies for construction projects in Somalia. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey involving 50 respondents from Grade (A) contractor companies in Somalia. The survey identified 32 factors contributing to delays, 37 effects of delays, and 27 mitigation strategies. Data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software with descriptive statistical methods. The study found that delays in construction projects in Somalia were caused by consultant factors, material factors, client factors, equipment factors, labor factors, and contractor factors. The effects of these delays included cost overruns, legal disputes, time overruns, lost profit, and project abandonment. Most respondents agreed on several significant mitigation strategies: ensuring resource availability, having competent personnel, appointing a competent project manager, and making accurate initial cost and time estimates. The study concludes that the best way to mitigate delays is to proactively address these factors. Implementing strategies such as employing a competent Project manager and making accurate cost and time estimates can significantly reduce delays in construction projects.
