UNOPS - East Africa Hub
Located in Nairobi, Kenya, UNOPS East Africa Hub manages a
growing portfolio of engagements, including associated strategic
and operational risks. The East Africa sub-region currently
consists of an established operations center in South Sudan, an
office in Somalia and a portfolio of multiple transactional,
procurement and infrastructure projects in Tanzania, Burundi,
Uganda, Kenya and several Atlantic and Indian Ocean island
states.
The rapid deployment of engineering capability to UN
peacekeeping missions, particularly in Africa, is a very urgent
challenge, and timely response is strongly required. To support
this rapid deployment, there have been numerous attempts to
accelerate the missions' start-up or respond to changes in
mandate, including the provision of Military Engineering
Contingents (MEC's) from Troop Contributing Countries (TCC)
for facilities and infrastructure work, including camp
construction/commissioning.
A number of countries have offered support to address this gap,
most significantly the Government of Japan which plans to
donate initial funding for heavy equipment and training to
enable faster start-up or mission redevelopment. In support of
this strategy a detailed assessment was carried out and the
International Peace Training Center chosen as the training site,
with the support of the Japanese Government. The project
objective is to deliver fast start-up operation of trial training,
logistics and support for project implementation in east Africa. In
2015 and 2016, the project was undertaken in Kenya however
Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda are also possible locations.
