In Somalia's federal administrative system, Dangorayo is a village in the Qardho district in the Bari Region in Puntland.

Created by the Puntland government, Dangorayo District was confirmed in Article 2 of "Law Nr.

04 of 15 August 2023 concerning the amendment of the Law on the Election of Local Councils of the Government of Puntland" (Sharci Lr.

03 ee 15-ka Agoosto 2023, kuna saabsan wax-ka-bedelka Sharciga Doorashooyinka Goleyaasha Deegaanka Dowladda Puntland).

But the lack of clarity make Puntlands administrative divisions an unusable tool for the national Somali government or for outside entities.
