Nature of Position:
Under the supervision of the Deputy Representative, the successful candidate will be in charge of the reporting activities in the Representation Office in Djibouti as well as the two Field Offices of Ali-Sabieh and Obock.
Living and Working Conditions:
Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa, is a mostly French- and Arabic-speaking country of dry shrublands, volcanic formations and Gulf of Aden beaches.
Djibouti is a multi-ethnic nation with a population of over 1 million inhabitants (the smallest in mainland Africa). French and Arabic are the country's two official languages. About 98% of residents adhere to Islam which is the official religion and has been predominant in the region for more than a thousand years.
Djibouti is strategically located near some of the world's busiest shipping lanes, controlling access to the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. It serves as a key refuelling and transshipment center, and is the principal maritime port for imports from and exports to neighbouring
Ethiopia. A burgeoning commercial hub, the nation is the site of various foreign military bases, including Camp Lemonnier. The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) regional body also has its headquarters in Djibouti City.
There is moderate risk from crime in Djibouti. Most reported incidents are crimes of opportunity (e.g. pickpocketing, petty theft) for immediate gain. Panhandlers and street children target foreigners for petty theft by creating distractions. Unreported crimes also commonly occur within the local community. Exercised caution in congested areas such as the central market, city center, and downtown neighborhoods (known locally as quartiers), especially after dark. Avoid isolated areas, particularly along the urban coastline.
Djibouti is in Seismic Zone 4, indicating a very high likelihood of damage resulting from earthquakes. Although hot conditions prevail year-round, brief periods of moderate to heavy rains can cause severe flooding of roads and homes due to poor infrastructure. High tides exacerbate flooding. In recent years, flooding has led to several fatalities across Djibouti, especially when unpredicted rain leads to flash flooding in the country. Life is
generally expensive including food and accommodation. The climate in Djibouti country is hot and dry all year round, especially during summers. The average temperature varies from 23 ยบ to 29 ยบ in January and from 31 ยบ to 46 ยบ in July.
