Strengthening Inclusive Governance in Somalia Despite notable gains in both state-building and emerging economic recovery over the past decade, Somalia remains a fragile state prone to chronic political and humanitarian crises. Recent progress on political settlements and reconciliation around federalisation and democratisation has been limited and there is prevalence of short-term or ad hoc political agreements. This action represents a concerted EU approach, embraced by other key donors and the UN in Somalia, that will pursue balanced approach to support federal, regional and local authorities and offer opportunities for functional cooperation on political processes that build trust and promote dialogue. The action seeks to support to processes that bring in wider groups of stakeholders, especially women and marginalized groups, including returnees and IDPs, into political and social reconciliation, electoral processes, and local governance formation and decision-making. The result areas in the programme reflect an understanding that reconciliation is not only an output, but more commonly an outcome of processes that are embedded in fundamental principles of inclusion, transparency, and mutual accountability; increased political participation and representation of women and other marginalized groups, including returnees and IDPs; strengthen bottom-up democratisation; inclusive subnational polities that are seen as legitimate and reflective of its citizens can engage constructively in both state-building processes and enhancing security; and capacitated civil society can play a critical role in linking/translating key government policies and initiatives to the general public to facilitate two-way conversations and strengthen accountability. The programme¿s objectives are in line with the indicative Team Europe Initiative on Governance, Peace and Security ¿ Reconciling Somalia, which seeks to maximise the synergies between the various interventions by the EU and the Member States, to both address the root causes of conflict and promote pathways towards a shared vision for the organisation of the state and its mode(s) of governance. The focus areas of this action document align with the pillars of the Team Europe Initiative, specifically pillar 1 (reconciliation) and pillar 2 (state-building and federalism). Through a holistic and integrated approach, the initiative will ensure interventions are conflict-sensitive and build on the insights of conflict analyses carried out in the recent past, also taking due account of the Women, Peace and Security agenda. The programme is aligned with SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequality) and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions).

Somaliland Termination Oppression of women and girls Programme II (STOP II) Provide a description of the proposed action and its relevance, including all the information requested below, referring to the overall objective and specific objective(s), as well as to the expected results (i.e. impact, outcome(s), possible intermediary outcomes and outputs:i.Briefly outline the relevance of the action to the objectives/sectors/themes/specific priorities of the call for proposals and to the particular needs and constraints of the target country/countries, region(s) (including synergy with other development initiatives and avoidance of duplication)Somaliland (and Somalia) have been jointly ranked as one of the worst countries worldwide for women in terms of violence and exclusion of women (UNDP 2012), second only to Afghanistan. The prevalence of sexual gender based violence (SGBV) in Somaliland is consistently higher than the global average. 98% of the women and girls have been subjected to the most severe type of female genital mutilation (FGM) according to UNICEF. Research by Health Poverty Action (HPA) in 2018 noted prevalence of rape at 66%, with a majority of the respondents concluding that Pharaonic (most severe form) FGM, rape and forced marriage were the most prevalent forms of GBV. With no formal census conducted, the population is estimated at 5 million people with approximately 100,000 living in internally displaced peoples (IDP) camps, average life expectancy of 52.8 years and literacy rates of 36% for women and 44% for men. Somalilands GDP per capita, at just $348 (310), makes it the fourth-poorest country in the world. Its main industry is livestock export, which accounts for about 70% of jobs. Nearly 40% of the rural population and 30% of those living in urban areas are living below the international poverty line (World Bank 2012). Decades of civil unrest have resulted in a large diaspora with remittances from these making up 34% of the GDP, cushioning the lives of some 80% unemployed citizens. (UNDP, 2014).The two districts of Burao and Ainabo will be the focus of this action. Burao is the regional capital of Togdheer region, one of the six administrative regions of Somaliland. Togdheer region, with an estimated population of 754,378 is the second most populous in Somaliland next only to Hargeisa. (UNFPA 2017). Ainabo on the other hand is located in the Sool region, the poorest and the least developed region of Somaliland, with the least number of health facilities, educational facilities and other social amenities (Sool Development plan).
