The Republic of Kenya is an equatorial nation on the coast of East Africa, neighbouring So-malia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania, and the Indian Ocean.
Kenya is a multi-party state with Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. Kenya's popu-lation of more than 40 million is growing at an annual rate of 2.2%.
The country's GNP per capita estimated at purchasing power parity (PPP) is $975, and the GNP is growing at an av-erage rate of 0.1% annually.
More than 26% of Kenya's people live below the international poverty line of $1 per day. Kenya's main food crops are "maize, wheat, pulses, roots and tu-bers." (FAO).
Nairobi is a modern metropolitan city where most basic goods and services, health facilities, public transport, telecommunication and banking services and educational facilities are readi-ly available.
The city is home to some 3,000 UN personnel mainly attributed to the fact that it serves as the headquarters for both the UN HABITAT and UNEP.
The socio-economic and cultural background of the immediate society the UNV would be living and working in is diverse and prevailing security conditions at the place of assignment is modest.
