This act will greatly improve the quality of the support to the Somali Armed and Police Forces and to achieve the respective missions’ mandates.

More EU synergy

The purpose of this Administrative Agreement is to foster and enhance mutual cooperation and coordination between EUCAP and EUTM to facilitate the implementation of their respective mandates in Somalia. It's intended to be neither exhaustive not limiting in its terms but forms the basis for future development and enhancement of cooperative relations between EUCAP and EUTM. The different fields of mutual support and coordination to be provided by EUCAP and EUTM as well as the terms and conditions touch Medical Support, Security, Administrative Support and Information Sharing.

Way ahead

The European Union is firmly committed to strengthen its Integrated Approach in support of the Somali Authorities. To guarantee the mutual support and coordination in the future, multiple working groups are founded to implement and further this approach.
