Regional Capacity
The Kampala Process brings together the TFG, the African Union, the UNPOS, and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) to engage with regional Somali authorities to promote information sharing and generation, coordination of counter-piracy measures, economic development and drafting of laws to suppress piracy. The Kampala Process continues to work with the Federal Government of Somalia.
Somali Capacity
The parties of the Kampala Process are relocating and expanding the presence of development partners in Somalia. This includes the facilitation and coordination of humanitarian assistance to the people of Somalia affected by war and natural calamities. The process seeks to promote programmes for the post-conflict reconstruction and development in Somalia, which includes guidelines for elections and educational systems. The framework can be found within the April 2010 Nairobi Memorandum of Understanding. The Kampala Process has been successful in bringing together the Somali regions and providing a forum for discussions among them. In 2013, the Kampala Process convened regional delegates and developed a Maritime Resource and Security Strategy.
Rule of Law
The Kampala Process has been used by the TFG and regional authorities to discuss how best to implement maritime legislation and strengthen Somali capacity to prosecute suspected pirates. The TFG, Puntland and Somaliland have agreed on a draft anti-piracy law for Somalia and have begun working on laws relating to the transfer of prisoners. Puntland and Somaliland have interdicted and arrested pirate suspects and accepted them for trial. Since the establishment of the Federal Government of Somalia, the Kampala Process has continued to serve as the venue for open dialogue between the regions and has produced a Maritime Resource and Security Strategy.
Coordination
The Kampala Process aims at promoting internal coordination, information-generation and sharing, and coordinating the counter-piracy offices of the Federal Government of Somalia, Galmudug, Puntland and Somaliland, respectively. No activity planned or implemented.
