Mohamed Abdi Affey (born 1968) is a Kenyan politician who is currently serving as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa and former UNHCR Special Envoy to the Somalia Refugee situation.

Before joining UNHCR, Affey was the IGAD'S Special Envoy to Somalia[1] and a member of Parliament for Wajir South Constituency (1997-2002).

At 27 years old, Affey was one of the youngest politicians in Kenya's history to be elected to Parliament, representing Wajir South constituency on a KANU Party ticket.

His mandate consists mainly in political advocacy to find durable solutions for the displaced population in the Horn of Africa, and is also extended to parliamentary engagement, resource mobilization and stakeholder engagement (including the private sector, diaspora and celebrities).

The UNHCR Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa is currently based in Nairobi but often travels in the region and worldwide to perform his mandate.
