Living and Working Conditions: Jijiga is the capital city of the Somali Regional State of Ethiopia with a population of about 500000. It is situated at an elevation of 1646 meters above sea level. It is located about 630 kms East of the Capital City Addis Ababa and about 80 kilometres away from the border with Somaliland. Jijiga City has recently had many private investments in real estate and hotels where staff can easily rent affordable accommodation. Both fully furnished and unfurnished apartments near the UNHCR Office or within the city centre can be available and staff are free to negotiate with landlords to secure affordable places of residence. Jijiga city also has many markets restaurants and shops including small supermarkets from where food and other household items can be purchased. Ethiopian Commercial Bank and many other private banks have established branches in Jijiga where financial services including ATM machines can easily be accessed. Transportation in and out of Jijiga is usually done via Ethiopian Airline flights directly to Addis on an average of 5 to 7 flights per day although road transport can also be used through buses that ply the Jijiga-Addis or Jijiga-Harar-Dire Dawa or Jijiga-Gode routes. However road travel to Addis may not be encouraged as it takes a full day compared to the 1-hour flight. Official travel is arranged by the office through a recommended agent. Private and public hospitals and higher clinics are available in Jijiga. However the medical facilities in the area are insufficient to treat complicated medical cases. The United Nations Health Care Centre (UNHCC) in Addis Ababa provides 24/7 health care services for eligible UN staff and their dependents in different specialized Medical Units. UNHCR Office is situated near the city centre and is accessible through public transportation. However the Office provides transportation of staff in the morning and evening to and from work throughout the working days and there are designated pick-up/drop-off points that are fairly near to most of the areas where most staff reside. The Office also has a staff cafeteria operated by a private provider where lunch can be purchased throughout the working week.
