About us

The United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS) provides leadership, operational support, and oversight of the security management system to enable the safest and most efficient conduct of the programmes and activities of the United Nations System. UNDSS in Somalia supports all UN Agencies in Somalia through security advice and guidance to enable the UN Agencies to conduct their operations in the safest way possible. The main task includes liaison with the national and provincial police counterparts, gathering information on security matters affecting UN staff and programs in various locations in the country, and providing advice and relevant reports to the FSCO. The LSA will also assist UN agencies in investigating criminal incidents/traffic accidents involving UN staff/premises in the AOR and other UN locations in Somalia as directed by the FSCO in the area.
