EUCAP Somalia Information

Official account of the European Union Capacity Building Mission in Somalia. Our organisation contributes to make Somalia a safer place for its people, so that economic development can flourish. Our Mission works for the resilience and capacity building of Somali federal and regional maritime civilian law-enforcement capability. Our aim is to advise the Somali federal and regional authorities in the development of the normal suite of coast guard and maritime policing functions in the coastal zone on land and at sea. EUCAP Somalia provides strategic-level advising, mentoring and some specialised training, which includes specific rule of law and security niches, such as police-prosecutor cooperation and law-drafting. European experts work for the Mission in Mogadishu, Garowe, Hargeisa and also in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, focusing on the development of a resilient and sustainable maritime security architecture. In fact, the Mission cooperates with the Federal Government of Somalia, in addition to the Puntland and Somaliland authorities, whilst developing relationships with other Federal Member States.
