United Nations Office at Nairobi

The United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON) is one of four major United Nations office sites where numerous different UN agencies have a joint presence. Established in 1996, it is the UN’s headquarters in Africa. UNON hosts the global headquarters for two programmes – the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN‑Habitat) – as well as almost 30 regional offices of other UN agencies, including IFAD and the World Bank Group. The complex is located next to the Karura Forest in Nairobi’s Gigiri district, along United Nations Avenue.
