This report from NRC is provides a situational analysis of minority groups in Southwest, Jubaland and Puntland States of Somalia. The study examines the critical issue of minority access to land and tenure security documents, highlighting the systemic barriers faced by these communities in securing land rights. Legal discrimination, lack of awareness and bureaucratic obstacles are identified as factors that hinder minorities from obtaining tenure documents. Recommendations include advocating for legal reforms, increasing community education about land rights, and strengthening support programmes to ensure equitable access to land for all minorities. Addressing these issues is seen as essential for promoting social justice and economic empowerment within these communities.
