About the Project

The UN Joint Justice and Corrections Programme for 2023-2026 aims at promoting people-centred justice sector reform and service delivery. It will support formal and informal rule of law actors at local and Federal Member State levels to design and implement integrative justice solutions through generative disalogues, promote political dialogue, and accompany learning, collection of data, and coordination, to facilitate the process towards a Somali Justice and Corrections Model which is people-centred, owned, sustainable and adopted.

Key Planned Objectives:

A sustainable and legitimate justice and corrections system, based on people-centred and community-led approaches, can deliver improved justice solutions; and
Justice solutions are designed using participatory processes and implemented at local and FMS levels.
