Somalia: European Union Funding and the Future of AMISOM

The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) published in December 2017 a report titled "Impact of EU Funding Dynamics on AMISOM" by Omar S. Mahmood and Ndubuisi Christian Ani, both ISS researchers.

The European Union has placed a cap on the amount it is providing for AMISOM peacekeeper stipends. This decision widened a rift between AMISOM and its partners over its record of achievement and future trajectory, leading to planning for the withdrawal of AMISOM from Somalia.
