Living conditions and remarks

Somalia is located in Eastern Africa, bordering the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean, east of Ethiopia; Area 627,337 square km. Border countries include: Djibouti 58 km, Ethiopia 1,600 km, and Kenya 682 km. Somalia has a long coastline of 2,720 km. Somalia has been plagued by several periods of protracted armed conflict since gaining independence in 1960.

One major result of the conflicts has been an impact on the mental health of the population owing to decades of protracted conflict, which has severely disrupted social cohesion, broken down social norms and led to nearly one in every three Somalis suffering from some form of mental health condition.

The government has achieved important gains in re-establishing state authority in areas once controlled by al-Shabaab with the establishment of new federal member states in Jubbaland (2013), South West State (2014), and Hirshabelle (2016). Yet the revival of the state has often been followed by upticks in inter-communal conflict, driven by unresolved grievances suppressed under al-Shabaab rule, where unavailability of social services (schools, vocational training centers, hospitals among others) further aggravates the competition for scarce resources and opportunities facilitating latent and active conflicts in the absence of meaningful, inter-communal reconciliation that enables al-Shabaab to exploit lingering grievances to gain legitimacy and maintain or expand their footprint in the recovered areas of Bay, Bakool, and Lower Shabelle.

As this is a national UN Volunteer assignment, the UN Volunteer will be responsible for arranging his/her own housing and other living essentials.
