Humanitarian Consultant for Orientation Project

Drawn from the Country Security Risk Assessment, it was identified that a large number of threat related incidences originating from government security entities and its humanitarian or development elements, bear a direct or indirect risk to UN staff and its programme safety and security. It is amongst others, related to a misunderstanding by government officials of what the UN mandates are (as a whole or individual agencies), what the UN immunities and privileges are, what is the difference between I/NGOs and the UN, their relationship with the UN and what I/NGOs work and mandates entail. It was identified (jointly with the Government) that if these matters could be further clarified to the Government officials at various levels of management but in specific at field level, it will contributes significantly towards mitigating this specific risk, enhance a better mutual understanding and develop sustainable trust between the UN and its implementing partners with the government in particular and the population en large.
