The EU announced that it will provide additional support of more than €124 million to the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) on 9 September 2013.

This new financial support will be critical in allowing AMISOM to continue to fulfill its United Nations Security Council mandate to carry out active peace support operations across Somalia.

There was also a High Level Conference on 'A New Deal for Somalia' in Brussels on 16 September 2013 to sustain the positive momentum in Somalia, and pledge support for a framework to reconstruct the country.
