Field facilities Services and the management thereof is a newly established business stream under the MECHEM Business Unit. MECHEM gained vast experience in this field during our demining operations, as most of our teams in the field were self-sufficient in both camp management and security. MECHEM expanded its presence in Somalia, providing vital life support services to the United Nations-led initiatives to broker peace and build democracy in the strife-torn East African country. Since 2009 MECHEM has been actively involved in Somalia by providing camp management and security services to United Nations Mine Action Services (UNMAS) in Mogadishu. During 2011 and 2012, these services were extended to also include United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and United Nations Support of AMISOM (UNSOA).
Current Client Base MECHEM’s current client base in Somalia is the following: - UNOPS, responsible for infrastructure and peace-building including mine action services;
- UNSOA/UNSOS which delivers logistical support to the African Union Mission;
- UNDP, coordinating rural development and poverty reduction programmes;
- International Organisation for Migration (IOM) aiming to decrease the pressure created by migrants and refugees.
- Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) who urge investment in food sectors; and
- UAE Embassy Mogadishu.
- The United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), as an integral section within the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) who supports the implementation of UNISFA’s mandate in Abyei and the deployment of the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM) along the disputed border between the Republic of Sudan and South Sudan.
