World Bank Multi-Partner Fund (MPF)

Projet terminé

In 2013, the international community and the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) agreed on a new framework of engagement (New Deal Compact for Somalia) to support peace and state building efforts in the war-torn country. With its contribution to the World Bank Multi-Partner Fund (MPF), which is one of the funding windows of the Compact, Switzerland will support the rebuilding of core state functions and the socio-economic recovery in Somalia.

Contexte

The Federal Republic of Somalia is faced with the challenge of rebuilding state institutions after more than two decades of conflict, compounded by drought and famine. After a series of failed transitional governments, a new Somali government was formed in 2012, which brought a new window of opportunity to end conflict and rebuild the state. For the first time since 1991, there is a broadly concerted international consensus on a long-term state-building, peace and development agenda. This common undertaking is translated into the New Deal Compact for Somalia, which was signed in 2013. Under the Compact, five Peace and State-building Goals (PSGs) were defined to guide the political process towards a constitutional review, a federal state and elections in 2016 on the one hand, and support long-term socio-economic development on the other hand. Internationally coordinated backing of this endeavour is therefore crucial to enable progress towards a more stable and prosperous Somalia.

Objectifs

To provide a financing platform, within the SDRF, for a coordinated financing of reconstruction and sustainable development in Somalia with a specific focus on core state functions and socio-economic recovery thus contributing to achieve the Somali Peace and Stability Goals (PSGs).

Groupes cibles

The direct target groups are key line ministries of the FGS, regional authorities, civil servants, Somali financial institutions, and the private sector. The ultimate target group is the population of Somalia benefiting from enhanced public financial management, improved public services and enhanced economic opportunities.
