UNOPS supports the successful implementation of its partners’ peace
building, humanitarian and development projects around the world. Our mission
is to serve people in need by expanding the ability of the United Nations,
governments and other partners to manage projects, infrastructure and
procurement in a sustainable and efficient manner.
Working in some of the world’s most challenging environments, our vision
is to advance sustainable implementation practices, always satisfying or
surpassing our partners’ expectations.
With over 7,000 personnel spread across 80 countries, UNOPS offers its
partners the logistical, technical and management knowledge they need, wherever
they need it.
A flexible structure and global reach means that we can quickly respond
to our partners' needs, while offering the benefits of economies of
scale.
