National Action Plan for Somalia

Two EAME priority areas are to be found in Somalia: Shebela Delta and Bajuni. Both are of sub-regional significance. In addition, a small part of the Kenyan global priority area of Lamu Archipelago stretches across the Somali border.

Political conditions in Somalia during the EAME strategy-development process prevented a multi-stakeholder process from taking place there, and thus no formal National Action Plan has been developed as yet. Action proposed in Phase 1 by the EAME Partnership:

• The EAME Partnership will monitor the situation and where possible initiate a process of dialogue with international NGOs active in Somalia and Somali government agencies, to further the objectives of the EAME Programme; and
• The Kenya National EAME Committee will explore options of trans- frontier collaboration between Somalia and Kenya, particularly with egard to the Lamu Archipelago priority area.
