Towards a Team Europe Roadmap for joint programming.
There is currently no formal EU joint programming in Somalia. However, elements of joint programming exist at sectoral level. There is broad agreement on the analysis across sectors, including conflict and risk analyses. On the basis of a shared analysis, the EU and MS have developed joint responses in a number of key areas of engagement and this in turn has led to the EU and MS jointly supporting a number of programmes. More specifically, tangible progress for enhanced collaboration and joint implementation (policy dialogue, pool funding) was achieved over the last years, notably in the governance, security and infrastructure sectors. The experience with joint implementation in sectors serves as a solid basis to formalise joint programming and develop a more strategic, coherent and coordinated approach to European development cooperation in Somalia. This would also provide the EU and its MS with the opportunity to develop collective policy dialogue and mainstream speaking with one voice. In principle, there is broad agreement to take the joint programming work forward. As a next step, a road map for joint programming will be developed in 2022 that will lay out the main activities and timelines to prepare a joint programming document for Somalia. This work will be steered by the well-established coordination structure at Heads of Cooperation level.
