UN offices whose headquarters are set to relocate to Nairobi

The United Nations complex in Gigiri, Nairobi, is already undergoing extensive infrastructure improvements as the city prepares to accommodate additional UN agencies by 2026.

This relocation is part of a broader UN reform initiative aimed at decentralising operations to more affordable and strategically located cities.

These offices include the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN WOMEN) programmes.

The new offices will be in addition to the current two global offices, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the UN-HABITAT, which have their headquarters in Nairobi.
