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.

reform, the newly formed Department of Operational Support (DOS) established
