Competencies of the position of the RSM:
Generally the RSM is responsible for the organizational security and the personal security for staff in the Areas of Responsibility (AoR) of the two offices. Each of the two offices, i.e. the Regional Office (RO) ESA and the Country Office (CO) SOM, has a head office in Nairobi and one or more offices in the field in South Sudan (SSD) and Somalia. Offices in other countries may add as need may occur. Thus, in 2017, the countries in the AoR of the two offices are (in clock wise geographical order): Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Madagascar, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, , Malawi, Uganda, Sudan, South Sudan and Kenya. Priority countries in terms of security are Somali, the refugee camp in Dadaab/Kenya and SSD. Attention also needs to be given to Kenya and Ethiopia. This may change depending on the dynamics of crisis and conflict. If countries shift from secure to insecure, suddenly or gradually, or new countries add to the AoR, then the competence of the position of the RSM adjusts automatically and tacitly.
