Saferworld and its Somali partners, the Academy for Peace and Development, the Centre for Research and Dialogue and the Puntland Development Research Centre, are supporting a process to establish non-state actor (NSA) structures in Somaliland, Puntland and South Central Somalia. The structures will enable NSAs to engage in dialogue with local administrations, transitional government structures and the international community, including the European Commission (EC). There is a particular focus upon engaging NSAs in the development of donor assistance strategies. The programme has established mechanisms for coordination and consultation with a range of NSAs at local and regional levels, and it is assisting NSAs to become more effective agents for change by enhancing their capacity to understand and formulate policy.
