The present Strategic Framework is complemented by a set of Guidelines. Together the two documents outline the main principles of the Peace and Stabilisation Fund ("the Fund") and aim at making the Fund more fit-for-purpose.

The Guidelines for the Peace and Stabilisation Fund (“the Guidelines”) provide a common overarching framework for the management of activities financed by the Fund. The purpose of the Guidelines is to facilitate coherence and integration of stabilisation initiatives across authorities despite differences in mandates and operational measures and processes. The Guidelines describe the overall principles and considerations behind the Fund as well as the programming processes and cycle.

As reflected in the annexes above, the Guidelines draw on existing guidelines such as the Danida Aid Management Guidelines (AMG). Annex 3 provides an overview of standard templates and includes links to all relevant complementary administrative guidelines, whereas the other templates are specifically meant for the Fund. Where there are special processes regulating the Fund these will be mentioned explicitly.
