Additionally, the MOCC noted that the Joint Somalia-AU Taskforce and the Joint Operations Centre are critical mechanisms that will allow for close coordination and planning between the FGS and the AU at various levels, as well as a vehicle for bringing coherence to partner support to the handover of security responsibilities. The MOCC called on the Somalia Security Conference that will take place in Mogadishu on 4 December 2017 to secure support for the comprehensive list of requirements of the SNSF and AMISOM in preparation for the takeover of security responsibilities by the SNSF. Furthermore, the MOCC reiterated that enhanced support to Somali institutions and structures, including local governance, is complementary to broader security efforts in Somalia.
