Conditions of residence and remarks

Entebbe, which hosts Uganda’s primary international airport and offers direct connections to/from Addis Abeba, Amsterdam, Brussels, Cairo, Dar es Salaam, Dubai, Johannesburg, Juba, Kigali, Kinshasa, London, Nairobi, and other cities, is where most international travelers enter Uganda. Entebbe is currently in Security Level 2, which is the warning and planning stage to ensure that succeeding levels (such the establishment of a coordination center) can be implemented successfully. The Security Management Team (SMT) meets frequently to monitor the security status and to create plans for the next steps, along with other organizations that are a part of the security management/assessment system (such as wardens). All UN staff members are constantly updated on recent political and social developments through briefings given by the Department of Safety and Security’s Security Section and the Department of Safety and Security upon arrival. On the Entebbe Support Base, there is a level 1 clinic, and there are other private hospitals in Kampala that have received UN approval. For UN officials to enter Uganda, some vaccines, including yellow fever, are required. It is unlikely that you will be requested to show confirmation of any or all of your immunizations at Entebbe International Airport. In spite of this, all UN volunteers must make sure they have all necessary vaccinations current and that they have these correctly and clearly attested in the yellow International Certificate of Vaccination. As of July 1, 2011, Entebbe has been designated as a family duty station for all UN personnel. Along with marketplaces and supermarkets, Entebbe and Kampala each have some international schools and recreational facilities. When the UN Volunteer arrives, the UNV Support Office will arrange temporary housing for the first few nights at their expense (SIG is planned for this purpose), which the UN Volunteer may decide to prolong or not until permanent housing is found. In Entebbe, permanent housing options range in price from 500 to 800 US dollars, depending on size and location. In Uganda, a number of mobile phone carriers are active. There are several places to buy SIM and top-up cards. Additionally, UN employees have access to the office phone system, which includes a PIN code that can be used to make personal calls for a cost. To receive SIG and regular VLA payments, a bank account must be created with a local partner bank (Barclays) upon arrival. Entebbe and Kampala both have ATMs that accept the most common international cards.

inclusiveness claim

Professionals with the necessary qualifications are encouraged to apply to United Nations Volunteers, which is an equal opportunity initiative. We are dedicated to achieving gender diversity and protected features. All UN Volunteers pledge to uphold the UNV’s core values, which include combating all forms of discrimination and fostering respect for human rights and individual dignity, regardless of a person’s race, sex, gender identity, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy, age, language, social origin, or other status.
