NL-KVK-27108436-A-05540-03:SO Oxfam Novib Access to justice in Somaliland is a complex issue. Different justice systems work parallel to each other and the awareness of the population which route to justice to take is very low, particularly in rural areas. Government institutions and formal justice providers are primarily based in urban areas in Somaliland. Rural areas have therefore little to no access, making the informal system, Xeer, often the only one to deal with cases. This places women and youth in difficult situations as they do not form part of the elders group. Legal representation in the formal system is dire. Internally Displaced Peoples (IDPs) also face considerable challenges including but not limited to social, economic legal problems, shelter, inaccessibility to land, property, security, health and education. Therefore, with the proposed action this consortium seeks to contribute to increased access to fair and effective justice in Somaliland that adequately deals with community members# grievances, in particular those faced by women, youth, IDPs and minorities European Union Oxfam Novib Oxfam Novib The project has no gender capacity building plans, the partner is the University of Hargeisa and they have been implementing access to justice programing with different aid donors and agencies .
