| Overview of position |
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has been supporting the governments’ efforts in effective implementation of the National Development Plan, which is aligned with the corporate Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders in Somalia.

These five projects and programmes are interlinked and addresses the overall Contributing Outcome under the UN Strategic Framework priority 2: Supporting institutions to improve Peace, Security, Justice, the Rule of Law and safety of Somalis; and strategic priority 3: Strengthening accountability and supporting institutions that protect. Further it addresses the National Development Plan on RoL and Access to justice goal, to “establish independent, accountable and efficient justice institutions capable of addressing the justice needs of the people of Somalia.
Most programmes under the ROL GFP’s Arrangements in Somalia have outcome and output indicators but measuring impact at the outcome level has proven challenging and most projects end up reporting at the output and activities
2 level. An important goal of the joint Rule of Law Framework in Somalia is to work under a common monitoring and evaluation mechanism that will constantly measure the status of peace and security in Somalia and to be able to assess the effects of UN´s support in furthering rule of law and understanding what implications the UN support has at the community level.

Joint Justice programme, Joint Police Programme, Joint Security Sector Governance Programme, Joint Human Rights programme and UN project on Prevention and Countering of Violent Extremism (PCVE).
