Project Title: Support to Stabilization Phase 2 (S2SII)

The Support to Stabilization II (S2SII) project is the centerpiece of the UN’s support to the National Stabilization Strategy and for enabling the role of the Ministry of Interior, Federal Affairs and Reconciliation as the lead government ministry. The first phase of the project was instrumental in providing first-tier support to interim district authorities in 14 districts of Jubaland, South West, Hirshabelle and Galmudug states. S2SII will build on the momentum created and expand the support to new areas under government control to promote reconciliation and facilitate the extension of state authority and accountability to the district-level. The project will focus on 4 outputs:

1. Reconciliation leads to district formation and stability;
2. Empowering local governments leads to higher levels of legitimacy;
3. Financial support enables local governments to operate;
4. Coordination mechanisms will attract new partners and align action.
