Somali Capacity
UNSOM works closely with the Federal Government of Somalia in support of their priorities for the interim (2013-2016) period. These priorities include: the consolidation of stability in the country, the fostering of national reconciliation, and building collaborative relations with the international community. In addition to helping the FGS deliver on its goals, UNSOM will aid in the political discussion and framework by providing policy advice as well as mediation and facilitation of the political dialogue, outreach, and reconciliation.
Rule of Law
UNSOM will support the Federal Government in its efforts to strengthen rule of law and security institutions in the country. The Rule of Law and Security Institutions (ROLSI) group of UNSOM will strategically complement the political activities of the Mission, which are aimed at supporting the stabilization and extension of the Federal Government’s authority throughout the national territory, by supporting the full range of security and rule of law responsibilities of professional and capable Somali national institutions. In the initial stage, the ROLSI group and the UN Country Team will undertake numerous advisory and capacity-building activities for security sector reform including: support of the National Security Plan, assistance with the drafting of key security sector legislation, advice and support with respect to the operationalization of the National Security Council and its Secretariat, the undertaking of security sector assessments in the Somali regions and recovered areas disengaging fighters, support to policy and plans for disengaged fighters including a national technical secretariat for DDR and disengaged combatants, and a National Programme for Disengaging Combatants and Youth at Risk, and facilitate and assist in community weapons control.
Coordination
UNSOM, in partnership with the UN Country Team, will aid the Federal Government of Somalia in the coordination of international support, if requested. The FGS has expressed its intention to coordinate international assistance through the New Deal Compact. UNSOM, in complement to the technical support provided by the UN Country Team, will provide high level support for the Compact. No activity planned or implemented.
