More about the contribution
Support to ACCORD for activities in the area of mediation, notably technical support to the AU and REC:s for capacity building, developing methodology, and documents for governing or supporting mediation activities. Sweden's support to ACCORD will cover the period 2018 to 2021. The total contribution is 41M SEK, distributed as 11M SEK for the first year and 10M SEK per year for the following 3 years. The intervention entails programmatic support (following on from previous core support by Sweden to ACCORD) to enhance the capacity of AU and RECs (that is ECCAS, IGAD and SADC) to plan, deploy, manage and support coordinated mediation and conflict prevention interventions.The intervention covers the following 4 result areas:(1) supporting operationalisation of mediation support units (MSUs) at AU and RECs;(2) provide strategic support and technical assistance for rapid response mediation and conflict prevention interventions by AU/REC MSUs;(3) contribute to harmonisation of work processes between MSUs at AU and RECs;(4) provide strategic and technical support to FEMWISE-Africa's medication interventions.ACCORD's application includes a reasonable analysis of current challenges as regards to mediation efforts in Africa, and an outline of conditions AU and RECs require to mediate effectively, which the expected programme objectives correspond to. Sweden is the sole donor in this contribution. However ACCORD is also supported by the Governemnts of Finland and Norway for activites that cover other aspects of their mediation and prevention work. There will be no forwarding of funds as part of the agreement.ACCORD (African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Dispute), headquartered in Durban, South Africa, has over 20 years experience of building capacity for conflict prevention and management in Africa. ACCORD was established in 1992 and as a legal entitiy is an NGO registered in South Africa. They have a wide established network for collaboration with national governments and regional institutions, and a proven track record. A 2017 Evaluation of Sida Core support to ACCORD stated that it is a 'well-respected' and 'the go-to' organisation for advice on preventive dialogue and mediation.

Result
Overall results: The implementation of the programme contributed to much of the ground work covered by the AU and REC:s/RMs in mediation and conflict prevention strategies, through policy/institutional development; capacity building; Ad Hoc/on demand support and materials development and knowledge productions which resulted in: - Progress of the MSU's of the AU and REC:s/RMs with developing their strategy, structure, systems and processes and transcending their formative stages. - Increased capacity of the personnel in the MSUs of the AU and targeted RECs/RMs to plan, deploy, manage and support co-ordinated mediation interventions. - Comprehensive operating protocols, procedures and normative frameworks/guidelines of the MSU's of the AU and REC:s/RMs developed for mediation interventions with research, facilitation and knowledge production support. ACCORD's support contributed to some improvements in institutional capacities in the REC:s and the AU, notably in IGAD.
The objective of the intervention is strengthened and enhanced institutional capacity of the AU and RECs to plan, deploy, manage and support coordinated mediation and conflict prevention interventions.
