United Nations Volunteers (UNV)
Maritime Assistant – Mogadishu, Somalia
Mission and objectives
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) was established on 3 June 2013 by UN Security Council Resolution 2102, following a comprehensive assessment of the United Nations in support of the establishment of the Federal Government of Somalia. The mandate of UNSOM was subsequently renewed by Security Council resolutions. Unanimously adopting resolution 2102 (2013), the Council decided that the mandate of UNSOM would include the provision of policy advice to the Federal Government and the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) on peacebuilding and state-building in the areas of governance, security sector reform and rule of law (including the disengagement of combatants), development of a federal system (including state formation), constitutional review, democratisation (including preparations for the 2016 political transition) and coordination of international donor support. Among its other mandated functions, UNSOM is helping build the Federal Government’s capacity to promote respect for human rights and women’s empowerment, promote child protection, prevent conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence, and strengthen justice institutions. Further, it is monitoring, helping investigate and reporting to the Council on any abuses or violations of human rights or of international humanitarian law committed in Somalia, or any abuses committed against children or women.

Living conditions and remarks
• General: Mogadishu is the HQ of the UNSOM operation inside Somalia mission area and is a non-family duty station. The UN Volunteer will be subject to the overall direction and guid-ance of the UN Designated Official (DO) for security. The volunteer will be incorporated into all applicable security protocols and will be required to strictly adhere to the guidelines, security plans and other directives issued by the DO. While in Somalia, the volunteer will be housed in UN provided accommodation. In Mogadishu this is at the UN Compound at the Aden Adde International Airport (AAIA).
• Accommodation: Due to the security situation in the UNSOS mission area and coupled with the fact that there is no living accommodation on the private market that meets minimum UN security and safety standards for UN personnel, expatriate personnel deployed to Moga-dishu are provided secured accommodation in a camp style environment. Containerized ac-commodation is provided free by the UN, which is equipped with basic room furniture, includ-ing fridge, microwave and TV.
• Power and water are provided by the UN inside the camp to its occupants.
• Food and Diet: There is no access to local markets in Mogadishu. There is a UN Contrac-tor-managed dining facility inside the UNSOS Camp in Mogadishu where food is provided at a cost by the contractor CIANO. Fresh vegetables are available for purchase at a ‘Farmers Mar-ket’ inside the UN Camp and there is a well-stocked shop selling fresh and frozen food, toilet-ries. Personnel may cook their own meals at common kitchen buildings situated at convenient locations within the camp.
• Health: Exposure exists to a number of tropical diseases. All medical formalities specified in the Offer or Travel Advisory should be completed before traveling. Yellow Fever vaccination is compulsory before coming to the mission area, while vaccinations for Hepatitis A & B, Ty-phoid, Tetanus/Diptheria, Polio and Meningitis are recommended. Vaccination Card (yellow card) must be brought. Malaria prophylaxis is highly recommended. Due to large number of various types of insects in the mission area, it is also recommended to use insecticide-impregnated nets and insect repellants. UN personnel have access during working hours to a UN Level I+ Hospital inside the UNSOS Camp in Mogadishu.
• Rest and Recuperation: International personnel, including UN Youth Volunteers, working in the UNSOS mission area are entitled to a 4-week Rest and Recuperation (R & R) cycle. This means that after every 4 weeks of being in the mission area, a break is taken to travel to either Nairobi (UNSOS designated R & R location) or any other destination outside the mis-sion area. The R & R entitlement consists of a 5 calendar days R & R, with 2 travel days add-ed, every 4 weeks. UN flights from Mogadishu or any other deployed site in the mission to Nairobi and back to duty station can be used at no expense, or a R&R allowance paid to indi-viduals to allow them to travel from their duty station to a R&R location of their choosing. While on R&R, accommodation, food and other expenses are borne by the individual. Approv-al of R & R is balanced against operational requirements.
