Institutional Strengthening Action Program of IGAD – ISAP IV
The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) is the sub-regional organization in the Horn of Africa. In line with Switzerland’s decision to increase its engagement with IGAD, the proposed contribution aims at reinforcing IGAD’s corporate performance, operational efficiency and building a coherent and collaborative engagement between IGAD and stakeholders for increased transparency and accountability. Hence contributing to greater stability and policy coherence in the Horn of Africa.

Contexte |
IGAD is an 8-country, sub-regional organization established in 1996. It covers a population of ca. 200 million and includes states from the HoA, the Nile Valley and the Great Lakes. It is one of 8 subsidiary regional economic communities (RECs) of the African Union (AU) whose vision is to achieve peace, prosperity and sustainable development through regional cooperation and integration. IGAD is relevant for Switzerland as it is the only REC working on all themes and in all target areas of the Swiss Cooperation Programme Horn of Africa (CPHoA). It is a strategic venue to influence policy making, with good regional ownership and legitimacy based on its good results despite the region’s volatility. Yet, IGAD suffers from severe weaknesses. For years, the donors-IGAD relationship has lacked coherence and a commonality of purpose, with IGAD receiving project-focused support rather than integrated programming. Against this backdrop, an Institutional Strengthening Action Programme (ISAP) was launched in 2009 out of a shared understanding between IGAD and a small donor group of the need for capacity building. Switzerland joined the ISAP Coordination Group (ICG) in 2014 as core member in order to influence the structuration of ISAP phase III as a coherent support programme uniting all donors under one roof. This decision was based on the growing number of Swiss Government entities having initiated projects with IGAD in recent years. Accordingly, a second multi-year allocation to the ISAP pool fund is now proposed in order to consolidate the achievements of the previous phase and ensure their planned and gradual anchoring in IGAD’s established structure in order to bridge, maintain and sustain capacity development measures after conclusion of ISAP IV in 2025 with exit plans for external support. |
Objectifs | The overarching goal of ISAP IV is to strengthen IGAD’s capacity to deliver on its mandate of peace, prosperity and regional integration. Better institutional capacity will allow the Secretariat and Specialized Institutions to interact more coherently, effectively and efficiently with Member States, donors and other Stakeholders, in a results-oriented manner. |
