  • Development Assistance for Peacebuilding
    Development Assistance for Peacebuilding Development assistance to fragile states and conflict-affected areas can be a core component of peacebuilding, providing support for the restoration of government functions, delivery of basic services, the rule of law, and eco- nomic revitalization. What has worked, why it has worked, and what is scalable and transferable are key questions for both development practice and research into how peace is built and the interactive role of domestic and international processes therein. Despite a wealth of research into these questions, significant gaps remain. This volume speaks to these gaps through new analysis of a selected set of well-regarded aid interventions. Drawing on diverse scholarly and policy expertise, eight case study chapters span multiple domains and regions to analyse Afghanistan’s National Solidarity Programme, the Yemen Social Fund for Development, public financial management reform in Sierra Leone, Finn Church Aid’s assistance in Somalia, Liberia’s gender-sensitive police reform, the judicial facilitators programme in Nicaragua, UNICEF’s educa- tion projects in Somalia, and World Bank health projects in Timor-Leste. Analysis illustrates the significance of three broad factors in understanding why some aid interventions work better than others: the area of intervention and related degree of engagement with state institutions, local contextual factors such as windows of opportunity and the degree of local support, and programme design and management. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal International Peacekeeping, and is available online as an Open Access mon- ograph. Rachel M. Gisselquist is a political scientist and currently a research fellow with the United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER).

  • PM Statement at ICG Meeting 05 Feb-1
    جـمـهـوريـة الصــومــال Jamhuuriyadda Soomaaliya الحكومة الانتقالية الفيـدرالية Xukuumadda Federaaliga KMG ah H.E. Dr. Abdiweli Mohamed Ali, Prime Minister of Somalia’s Statement at the 21st International Contact Group Meeting on Somalia Djibouti, 5-6 February, 2012 Excellencies, distinguished participants, ladies and gentlemen. Good morning. I would like to thank UNPOS for convening this important gathering. I would also like to extend my special thanks to Djibouti for hosting this gathering. We are not only neighbors, but also brothers and sisters. Djibouti has been home to many Somalis seeking refuge these past 20 years. Djibouti has constantly supported our political processes and most recently, has sent us its sons and daughters to join the AMISOM mission. Inshallah, one day, we will be able to repay the generosity and solidarity of the people of Djibouti. We stand at a crossroads today. The international community is trying to decide whether Somalis can be trusted to complete the Roadmap process and bring the political transition to an end, or whether new political arrangements need to be made. Somalis are asking what the future holds and whether their leaders will deliver on the promises of the Transitional Federal Charter, the Djibouti agreement, the Kampala accord, the Roadmap, and most recently the Garowe Principles. They are also weary of the state of permanent transition of the past 20 years. My government is committed, in words and actions, to the Roadmap and to fulfilling the tasks that will allow us to move into a new era of security, stability, political inclusivity, and financial integrity. We have made significant progress in many areas.

  • Somalia: Recent Political, Security and Humanitarian Developments
    Somalia: recent political, security and humanitarian developments Standard Note: SN06115 Last updated: 28 February 2012 Authors: Jon Lunn and Gavin Thompson Section International Affairs and Defence Section and Economic and Policy Section Throughout 2011, al-Shabaab suffered a number of military setbacks. These have continued into 2012. A number of factors made this possible: a substantial increase in the size of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), which has been accompanied by an enhanced offensive capability; from October, a Kenyan incursion across the country’s southern border, justified on security grounds; and divisions within al-Shabaab which affected its own military cohesion. Whether the most recent incarnation of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), which has a long track-record of incompetence and corruption, can take advantage of al-Shabaab’s mounting problems remains to be seen. Its latest mandate expires in August 2012. Efforts to broker a viable and legitimate political process up to and beyond August led to have produced agreements called ‘The Garowe Principles’. On 22 February, the UN Security Council agreed to further increase the size of AMISOM, from 12,000 to 17,730 personnel. Then, on 23 February, the UK Government hosted a major international conference on Somalia in London which broadly endorsed these developments and approved a number of other significant initiatives, including the creation of a Joint Financial Management Board and a Stability Fund. Is this a “turning point” for Somalia, as UK Prime
