Programme Assistant, Governance and Peace Building - Somalia Programme

 

Programme Assistant, Governance and Peace Building - Somalia Programme


Background
The primary aim of the British Government’s Department for International Development (DFID) is reducing poverty. DFID Somalia is responsible for the delivery of DFID's development and humanitarian assistance and policy work in Somalia. There is very high UK cross-Whitehall interest in Somalia, due in particular to concerns over terrorism, regional conflict and piracy. Somalia is currently one of the top priorities in Africa for the UK Government, as well as for international partners such as the US. DFID Somalia staff work closely with the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and other government departments on Somalia; we expect this close working relationship to increase with the arrival of the new UK Special Representative for Somalia.

Somalia represents a major challenge and opportunity for DFID, with our work there critically important to DFID’s commitment to fight poverty and conflict in fragile states. Chronic poverty, the absence of a central state, the lack of access by internationals because of security concerns, a 19-year conflict, and a constantly changing political dynamic make it one of the most challenging development environments in the world.

The Somalia aid framework for 2010/11 is £26m. The programme regularly spends more than its framework as a result of additional resources from outside the country framework, largely to respond to the humanitarian crisis in Somalia.
Somalia has received an average of $200m per year since 2000 from the international community. DFID's programme framework increased from £3.1m in 2002/03 to £30.5m in 2009/10 (plus some funds from the Africa Conflict Prevention Pool), and including significant additional humanitarian funding in-year. Humanitarian assistance is approximately £8.5 million this year although it is likely that additional funding will be approved.

The Secretary of State has approved programming for 2010/11 focusing on governance and peace building; sustainable employment, health and education; humanitarian assistance and making the international effort more effective.
