The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) is an operational arm of the United Nations, supporting the successful implementation of its partners' peacebuilding, humanitarian and development projects around the world.  Mandated as a central resource of the United Nations, UNOPS provides sustainable project management, procurement and infrastructure services to a wide range of governments, donors and United Nations organisations.  With over 6,000 personnel spread across 80 countries, UNOPS offers its partners the logistical, technical and management knowledge they need, where they need it.  By implementing around 1,000 projects for our partners at any given time, UNOPS makes significant contributions to results on the ground, often in the most challenging environments.

Project Information:

Associated with the Secretary of Foreign Affairs (Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (SRE)) and aligned with the framework of the Integral Strategy for Human Mobility of the Government of Mexico, UNOPS will be involved in the implementation of Multi-Service Centers to provide integral attention in a unique space to people in the context of mobility, under a humanistic and human rights approach. It is expected that the centers will provide multiple services to the migrant community, including mental and physical health services, international protection, orientation, asylum applications, and documentation, among others. 

In this context, the PM and UNOPS, as the counterpart of the SRE, is expected to procure the equipment required for the operation of the Multi-Service Centers and to lead the integral management of the project, as well as its impact evaluation. 

To this end, in addition to the agreement with the Government of Mexico, inter-agency agreements (UN to UN) will be signed with the agencies of the United Nations System in the country, for the development of specialized components and work products, according to their mandates and specialities: specialized services and infrastructure for migrants, international protection and rights, labor integration and social and educational protection, health, and gender, diversity and inclusion.

Local Context: 

UNOPS is in Mexico collaborating mainly with the Government of Mexico in sustainable procurement and infrastructure projects. 

The position is located in Mexico City, Mexico. This is a family duty station, with good access to essential services, housing options suitable for families, educational opportunities for children, and healthcare facilities.
