The UN Support Office in Somalia (UNSOS) is a UN peacekeeping mission that provides logistical and operational support to the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and the Somali National Army (SNA) in their efforts to maintain peace and security in Somalia. UNSOS is headquartered in Mogadishu, with a regional office in Baidoa, Somalia.

UNSOS’ mission in Somalia involves providing support to AMISOM and SNA in a range of areas, including transport, communications, medical services, engineering, and security. The Baidoa facility serves as a hub for UNSOS’ operations in the southwest region of Somalia, providing logistical support and resources to AMISOM and SNA troops stationed in the region.

The UNSOS mission has developed an environmental policy that includes measures for waste management, energy conservation, and pollution prevention. UNSOS has also implemented a sustainable procurement program that prioritizes environmentally friendly products and services, and the mission actively engages with local communities to promote environmental awareness and sustainability practices.
