'I approach my work with zeal' | Africa Renewal
My name is Abinash Nayak from India. I am 29 years old and I joined the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the DR Congo (MONUSCO) in May 2019 and was deployed as a peacekeeper in North Kivu province. My primary responsibilities are to protect civilians and maintain peace in our area of responsibility. Depending on the situation, we also assist local authorities during elections, support the restoration of the state authority in remote areas, and promote social and economic recovery and development through various civil-military cooperation activities.
