AMISOM is a key player in issues of stabilization. You realize that
stabilization cannot happen without security and our major role is to provide security and the space in which stabilization activities can happen. Most of the identified districts in which stabilization occurs are districts, which AMISOM has recovered from Al Shabaab. It is in these districts that the stabilization programs under the Wadajir Framework are going to be implemented. 10.

As AMISOM, the two-day conference has shown us how we can be able to coordinate all our efforts, especially those on stabilization. For a long time, we have had partners and donors doing their own activities in their own circles, but from this meeting, there was a declaration that all stabilization activities will now be coordinated through the Ministry of Interior and Federal Affairs. 16.

The meeting was convened under the Wajadir Framework, which was launched in March 2016 and seeks to support reconciliation, civic dialogue and the establishment of local governance structures.
The framework also aims to harmonize all stabilization programmes
in areas recently liberated from Al- Shabaab militants. The conference was attended by representatives of the Federal Government, regional administrations, partners and donors. Hon. Abdurrahman Ibrahim Aden, the Minister of Interior and Local Government of the South West Administration said the initiative would align projects with community needs. All those activities and services will come under this Wadajir Framework. If these organizations give a big hand to the Federal government and regional states, this will help Somali people get better life in terms of development, reconciliation and stabilization, Minister Abdurrahman stated. On his part, Dr. Opiyo Ododa, the Head of Stabilization and Early Recovery Working Group of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) said the conference had been critical in ensuring the adoption of the framework by all stakeholders. AMISOM is a key player in issues of stabilization. You realize that stabilization cannot happen without security and our major role is to provide security and the space in which stabilization activities can happen. Most of the identified districts in which stabilization occur are districts which AMISOM has recovered from Al Shabaab. It is in these districts that the stabilization programs under the Wadajir framework are going to be implemented, Dr. Ododa said. In addition to providing security, AMISOM is engaged in facilitating reconciliation of communities and providing key aspects of the peace dividends through its Quick Impact Projects (QIPs). The QIPs include the provision of safe water, construction of schools, hospitals and general social infrastructure. Dr. Ododa also noted that future stabilization activities would now be coordinated through the Ministry of Interior and Federal Affairs. He said the meeting had enabled the mapping of stabilization activities and facilitated networking and partnerships, expected to improve efficiency. As AMISOM, the conference has shown us how we can coordinate all our efforts, especially those dealing with issues of stabilization, Dr. Ododa said. END.
