UNSOM (UN Assistance Mission in Somalia)

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) was established by the UN Security Council in 2013 to support the Federal Government of Somalia in various critical areas including peacebuilding, constitutional review, democratic elections, federal state formation, human rights monitoring, and security sector reform. UNSOM plays a pivotal role in facilitating dialogue among Somali stakeholders and promoting inclusive governance, which is essential for the country's stability and development. With a mandate that encompasses a wide range of activities, UNSOM collaborates closely with local authorities, civil society, and international partners to enhance the capacity of Somali institutions. The mission is dedicated to fostering a secure environment conducive to humanitarian assistance and sustainable development. UNSOM's presence in Somalia underscores the international community's commitment to supporting the Somali people in their quest for peace and prosperity.
