Behind the high-security gates in Nairobi's Gigiri neighbourhood sits one of the world's most important United Nations hubs.
Spread across 140 acres, the United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON) hosts nearly 6,000 employees, 88 UN offices and staff drawn from different nationalities, making it the largest UN compound in the world.
Unlike other UN duty stations that specialise in specific mandates, the Nairobi office brings together agencies working on climate change, urbanisation, humanitarian affairs, sustainable development, peace support and peace operations.
