Description of Saferworld Somalia programme:

Saferworld is an independent non-governmental organisation that works to prevent and reduce violent conflict and promote cooperative approaches to security. We work with civil society, governments and international organisations to encourage and support effective policies and practices through advocacy, research and policy development, and through supporting the development of local capacities and structures.

Saferworld has been working in Africa since 1997, with a primary focus upon East Africa and the Horn region. We have well-established programmes in Kenya, Uganda, Somalia and Sudan. In addition, Saferworld supports regional and international conflict prevention and security processes. Saferworld’s headquarter is in London, with a regional office in Nairobi, and country offices in Kampala and Juba. The Somalia programme is managed from

Saferworld’s Nairobi office with plans to establish an office in Somaliland in the near future.

Saferworld’s programme of work in Somalia/Somaliland has two components. The first aims to strengthen the participation of Somali Non-State Actors in decision-making on peace, security and development. Key themes in this project are participatory decision-making, inclusiveness and capacity building of ‘platform’ structures so that they more effectively channel NSA voices in policy dialogues. The second provides timely fine-grained analysis of governance and conflict dynamics at sub-regional level in Somalia/Somaliland as a basis for influencing the work of international actors engaged there. In addition, the organisation is active on policy advocacy based on lessons gathered from programmes and via partners.
