More than 3 million displaced people in Somalia still lack a unified legal identity.

In Baidoa, a fast, low-cost pilot led by @NIRASomalia shows that reaching displaced communities with legal identity services is possible—and scalable.

🎥Watch how this innovative model provides a blueprint for reaching millions more across Somalia.

Supported by @Denmark_UN, @LuxembourgUN & @ROK_Mission through @UNDP's #FundingWindows.

On #WorldRefugeeDay, we remember that displacement doesn't end when people flee.

For 117.8 million displaced people, the challenge is what comes next: jobs, services and a chance to rebuild.
