“As we see around the world, and here in Somalia as well, the values and the significance of the United Nations have never been more important. Our strategy is codified in the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (SCDF) for Somalia. This document is fully aligned with and, indeed, signed by the Somali government. This document matches up to the National Development plan of the Somali government so everything that the United Nations is doing here in Somalia is intended to support and advance objectives that have already been identified by Somalia’s leaders.”

“These programmes are, first, the joint programme on human rights. This programme assists the government not only to build capacity, they have a priority around strengthening their protection frameworks, but also helps around inclusivity. The government is keen to see not only at the elite, central level, but also at the local level, assisting civil society and other organizations to understand what their rights are, in addition to allow them to be able to demand those rights. A second success story for the collaboration between the UN and the government, in support of their priorities, has been the women, peace and protection programme, This programme is around supporting the women of Somalia to participate in the political process, to be part of the decision-making process, to have a seat at the table moving forward.”

“But security, obviously, is more than just support for security forces – so we include in this category work on stabilization for areas recovered from Al-Shabaab. We include work in support of government efforts on preventing and countering violent extremism, and support for the justice and corrections sectors.”

“We’re here to support the vision of Somali people and the government for a peaceful, secure Somalia. But what do we do, we actually provide inconsistent with our mandate, non-lethal support to the African Union forces and the Somali security forces in the fight against terrorism in Somalia, and in their efforts to bring peace to this country. Our current focus is to support the operations that are ongoing… and I really want to salute the bravery of all the Somali security forces, and also with them as well as the African Union and communities for their bravery in this effort. We know that the battle is fierce, and it takes a lot of courage.”
