Stella Apolot Epudu has been supporting electoral administration and management in Somalia, including ensuring the participation of women in the process. The international UN Volunteer from Uganda serves with the Integrated Electoral Support Group of the UN Mission in Somalia (UNSOM). On the occasion of the International Day of UN Peacekeepers, we interviewed Stella on her assignment.
