The Instrument for Stability (IfS, more commonly referred to as the Stability Instrument) is a financial and political instrument at the disposal of the European Union. It is prepared at strategic level by the EEAS and implemented by the Commission. The objective is three-fold: 1/ respond to urgent needs due to political instability or a major disaster; 2/ build the conditions for long term stability in particular by addressing some major risks and threats that prevent political security and economic development, such as terrorism, organized crime, illicit trafficking, chemical-biological-nuclear risks but also new challenges such as pandemics, cybercrime, climate change or the protection of critical infrastructure; 3/ participate to the crisis management cycle by supporting CSDP operations and by contributing to restore stability after the crisis or the conflict.
