Instrument for Stability (IfS)

The Instrument for Stability (IfS) – EU in action aims to contribute to stability in countries in crisis by providing an effective response to help preserve, establish or re-establish the conditions essential to the proper implementation of the EU’s development and co-operation policies (the ‘Crisis response and preparedness’ component).

 

In the context of stable conditions for the implementation of EU co-operation policies in third countries, the IfS helps to build capacity both to address specific global and trans-regional threats having a destabilising effect and to ensure preparedness to address pre- and post-crisis situations (the ‘global and regional trans-border challenges’ component).

The ‘crisis response and preparedness’ component is managed by Directorate General External Relations. The ‘global and regional trans-border challenges’ component is managed by EuropeAid.
