Description

Actual CPV code is '75211200 Foreign Economic-Aid Related Services'.

DFID will provide £35 million for the second iteration of the highly successful Somalia Stability Fund. DFID's contribution is essential for the continued existence and operation of the Stability Fund, which was set up following a pledge made by the Prime Minister at the London Conference on Somalia in February 2012.

The fund plays a unique role in providing early support to consolidate peace settlements, help set up basic governance systems and restore economic activity in newly-formed interim regional administrations which are the building blocks of the new federal state in Somalia.

The UK will remain the lead donor to the fund and will provide a staff member to lead the fund's Secretariat Office and procure and manage the contract of the Fund Manager.
