📢 Access to Land: A Major Obstacle for Businesses in Somalia

Accessing land isn’t just about finding space; it’s a complex challenge with deep-rooted issues. More than 30% of businesses report that access to land is their biggest challenge.
🏘 Land in Somalia holds immense cultural and economic value. However, with outdated laws, fragmented governance, and local disputes, securing land for businesses and development is often difficult.
📘 The Constitution acknowledges this, emphasizing the need for land to be managed "equitably, efficiently, and sustainably."
📈To foster growth and stability, the country requires stronger land policies that protect businesses, ensure fair distribution, and effectively resolve disputes.
