Overview of position:
Since the formation of the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS), the country has made significant progress towards restoring peace & security. However, significant destabilizing factors remain. These include most notably, the persistent threat of violent extremist group Al Shabaab, particularly in rural areas, recurrent & unresolved clan, land & resource based conflicts, weak & nascent institutions & the internal displacement of more than 2 million individuals.
While the transition, recovery & development needs of Somalia, after almost 3 decades of civic conflict & violent extremism remain a long term, if not generational process, such progress will be unachievable in the absence of solid foundations for peace & security, particularly at community levels.

These programs, which are implemented through our clients Transition & Recovery Pillar (TRP) project in Somalia, are intended to promote peace, security & stability in fragile & displacement affected areas of Somalia.
