Almost two out of three people in East Africa (63%) have had to deal with one or more legal problems. Compared to studies in other countries, a prevalence of 63% is somewhat at the higher end of the scale. This translates that almost 50 million East Africans found themselves in need of a fair and just process for problems such as crimes, land disputes, family disagreements, employment problems, etc.
