Description:
Denmark is currently implementing a third phase of the Denmark’s Peace and Stabilisation Programme for the Horn of Africa 2018-2022 (PSP HoA III). The programme is implemented by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in collaboration with the Danish Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Danish Ministry of Justice (MOJ). The PSP HoA III addresses drivers of fragility and conflict in the Horn of Africa region and is focused around Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia. It is in its third consecutive phase running from 2018 to December 2022 with a total budget of approx. DKK 250 mio. (ODA and non-ODA).

DKK 270 mio. (ODA and non-ODA), subject to approval during the formulation process.
