UN Support Office for African Union Mission in Somalia

The International Peace Institute published in February 2017 a study titled "UN Support to Regional Peace Operations: Lessons from UNSOA" by Paul D. Williams, George Washington University.

The study provides an overview of the origins and deployment in the field of the United Nations Support Office for the African Union Mission in Somalia (UNSOA). It then analyzes five sets of challenges that constrained the mission's effectiveness from its creation in 2009 through 2015.
