NCG has recently been assigned by Danida to develop the third phase of the Peace and Stabilisation Programme for the Horn of Africa 2018-2022. 

The objective of the Programme is to “contribute to peace and stability in the region and pave the way for the Governments together with other stakeholders and international development partners to engage”. The Programme will consist of the  following three thematic areas: 

1. Strengthen stabilisation and security actors engaged in Somalia and regional conflict management capacity
2. Counter violent extremism through prevention and disengagement
3. Promote exercise of authority across regional land and maritime borders

The primary role of NCG partner Anton Baaré and two external consultants is to assist the Embassy in Nairobi, in close dialogue with the Ministry of Defence and the Embassy in Addis to formulate a draft programme document, for a new Danish Peace and Stabilisation Programme for the Horn of Africa 2018-2022. The work will be carried out as a mixture of desk and fieldwork with visits to field locations in Mogadishu, Nairobi, Mombasa and Addis Ababa.
