SSF AT A GLANCE

The Somalia Stability Fund (SSF) is a multi-donor fund that supports the development of a peaceful, stable, and secure Somalia.

It is designed to work with government and non-state partners to support political dialogue, to help build trust among communities and people, to buttress democratisation and sustainable local governance, and to foster mutual accountability and exchange between government institutions and communities.

This is the third iteration of SSF. Experience from previous phases has shown that SSF is most effective when thinking and working politically. In its new phase, the mandate of SSF III is to help make the politics work, in order to facilitate other efforts to help Somalis build peace, a state, and a shared future.

SSF III SUPPORTS

SSF III works with Somali stakeholders on the basis of multi-year funding that can respond to locally identified needs and opportunities. SSF III is a flexible and adaptive entity. That means we respond to changes in the context we work in, but without losing sight of what we are working towards: a peaceful Somalia where everyone can thrive.
