Saferworld Kärnstöd 2021 - 2024 Saferworld Core Support 2021 - 2024 Saferworld is an independent international organization that works with research, policy development, capacity building and implementation of programs aimed at preventing violence and conflict. Saferworld conducts conflict prevention and peacebuilding work in Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Europe. Currently, Saferworld's geographical focus is on the following countries: Kenya, Somalia / Somaliland, Sudan and South Sudan, Uganda, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, Syria and Yemen.

By utilizing local knowledge and building on the experiences of conflict-affected individuals and society, Saferworld works to improve and strengthen local, national and international peacebuilding for long-term sustainable development.

Sida has received an application for core support from Saferworld. The proposal is to support Saferworld's new five-year strategic plan (2021-2025) with a total amount of SEK 90 800 000 over three years (1 April 2021 - 31 March 2024), which corresponds to approximately 13% percent of Saferworld's total budget. Part of the support will be earmarked with an average of SEK 5 million per year for the purpose of working with control and against the spread of small and light weapons, as well as compliance with the Arms Trade Treaty. Sida has contributed core support to Saferworld since 2014 and this will thus be a continuation of this collaboration Saferworld är en oberoende internationell organisation som arbetar med forskning, policyutveckling, kapacitetsbyggande och genomförande av program med syfte att förhindra våld och konflikt. Saferworld bedriver konfliktförebyggande och fredsbyggande arbete i Afrika, Mellanöstern, Asien och Europa. För närvarande är Saferworlds geografiska fokus följande länder: Kenya, Somalia/ Somaliland, Sudan och Sydsudan, Uganda, Kirgizistan, Tadjikistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, Syrien och Yemen.

Genom att tillvarata lokal kunskap och utgå från konfliktdrabbade individers och samhällets erfarenheter arbetar Saferworld för att förbättra och stärka lokalt, nationellt och internationellt fredsbyggande för långsiktig hållbar utveckling. 

Sida har mottagit en ansökan om kärnstöd från Saferworld. Förslaget är att stödja Saferworlds nya femåriga strategiska plan (2021- 2025) med ett totalt belopp om 90 800 000 SEK över tre år (1 april 2021 - 31 mars 2024), vilket motsvarar cirka 13% procent av Saferworlds totala budget. En del av stödet kommer att öronmärkas med i genomsnitt 5 MSEK per år för ändamålet att arbeta med kontroll och mot spridning av små och lätta vapen, samt efterlevnad av Vapenhandelsfördraget. Sida har bidragit med kärnstöd till Saferworld sedan 2014 och detta blir därmed en fortsättning på detta samarbete. To contribute to prevention of violent conflict and strengthen human security, the core support from Sida will, for the period 2021-2023, contribute to the following five interlinked goals set out in Saferworld's Strategic Plan Working in solidarity for a safer world 2021-2031: 
i) Inclusive peace and justice: Communities and CSOs, in particular women and youth, in conflict-affected contexts lead efforts to achieve conflict transformation and political transitions rooted in equality and justice by working with authorities and each other across conflict divides, and with relevant external actors.
ii) People-centred security: External actors, governments, and state and non-state security actors increasingly recognise and move away from harmful militarised and repressive approaches to conflict and security, and towards a people-centred and more accountable understanding of human security.
iii) Gender Equality: Donors, peacebuilding organisations and policymakers, communities, civil society and authorities address gender norms and patriarchal systems and structures driving exclusion, conflict and insecurity, and promote gender equality and womens meaningful participation and leadership through their programming and policies. 
iv) Redesigning international engagement: International actors in conflict-affected and fragile settings realign their systems, instruments and resources to underpin peaceful change and transformation from within, putting local leadership in the driving seat.
v) Climate, conflict and the environment: Communities, CSOs, authorities (local, state, national) and international actors recognise the effects of climate change on conflict dynamics; collaboration between peacebuilding and environmental practitioners is strengthened; and strategies to incorporate climate change and conflict prevention are developed around more holistic responses
In addition to the core grant, Sida contribute with additional earmarked funding to expand and strengthen Saferworld's programme on arms control. The overall goal of this work is to reduce uncontrolled spread of small arms and light weapons and the effective realisation of the UN Arms Trade Treaty.
