Consolidating Community Recovery, Peace-building and Local Governance (COMPEL)
Somalia is slowly emerging from one of the most complex and protracted conflicts. Over the past decade, peacebuilding and state-building processes, while navigating conflict, climate crisis and political fragility, maintained an incrementally positive trajectory. In investing in civil society engagement and building of local institutions and capacities all over Somalia, Switzerland is contributing in the establishment and strengthening of sustainable, community-driven, inclusive institutions necessary to deliver services and sustainable peace.

Hintergrund | Somalia works on overcoming a prolonged state of conflict, political fragmentation and recurrent natural crisis. The country has progressed from a failed to a very fragile State in the last few decades, regaining more stability by investing in building up government institutions. Progress has been made notably between 2011 and 2023 with local elections, statistics, and financial reform and overall state-building processes. These gains and context remain fragile and there is need to further invest in the establishment and strengthening of legitimate, inclusive, responsive, and effective government institutions especially also in the areas newly recovered from Al Shabab (AS). Provision of services are key to establish and maintain state authority, social accountability and the social contract. Meanwhile, more stable areas are also increasingly struggling with decades of under investment, lack of resources and the direct impact of climate change causing livelihood destruction, rapid urbanization and internal displacement. Functional and inclusive local governance structures more inclusive also for women and able to providing much-needed basic services are crucial to foster peace promotion. A more peaceful and stable Somalia supports the stabilization of the broader Horn of Africa, a geo-strategic region of global importance including Swiss interests when it comes to global trade, migration and stability. |
