Through political engagement, strategic advice, and technical assistance, JJCS works to strengthen Somalia’s justice and corrections institutions within the broader state-building and peacebuilding framework. The section supports the development of a constitutional and legal framework for rule of law institutions including prisons, enhances institutional capacity and accountability for serious crimes, and secure and humane prisons. To enhance service delivery and improve access to justice it strengthens community dialogue and promotes people-centered reform. By fostering coordination between national stakeholders and the international community, JJCS ensures that rule of law efforts are aligned with Somalia’s political objectives, contributing to a more stable and just society.
