Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Full time

For two decades, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has been helping make the world safer from drugs, organized crime, corruption and terrorism.

We are committed to achieving health, security and justice for all by tackling these threats and promoting peace and sustainable well-being as deterrents to them.

Because the scale of these problems is often too great for states to confront alone, UNODC offers practical assistance and encourages transnational approaches to action.

We do this in all regions of the world through our global programmes and network of field offices.
