Somaliland is a self-declared republic located in the north-west of the Horn of Africa. Since 1991, Somaliland has maintained peace and stability, developed its own governing institutions, and held multiple democratic elections.

With a young and growing population, Somaliland presents both challenges and opportunities. Youth empowerment, education, and employment are critical to ensuring long-term social and economic progress. Kanava Youth Development Organisation works within this context to support young people and communities in shaping a resilient future.
