Southern African Nationality Network
Introduction

About SANN

The Southern African Nationality Network (SANN) is a collective of civil society organisations, individuals and networks working towards universal access to the right to a nationality and prevention of statelessness in Southern Africa.

Our motto “Freedom in Belonging” underscores our belief that without belonging concretised by formal nationality, African individuals and communities can never be free. Not only does nationality ensure access to human dignity and basic human rights for the individual, it fosters the belonging which is necessary for the creation of a prosperous and peaceful society.

Data and Information

The purpose of the tool is to make data and information on statelessness in Africa more accessible for government officials, researchers, civil society organisations, international and regional organisations, media actors, and other interested individuals, including people directly affected by statelessness. This data and information will aid in:

a) identifying gaps in law and policy on the protection of stateless people and the prevention of statelessness

b) fostering dialogue on common challenges and potential solutions to improve the protection of stateless people and prevent statelessness (including best practices)

c) enhancing advocacy on law and policy reform towards universal access to nationality rights and the eradication of statelessness in Africa
