and the private sector into UNOPS operations. Based in Copenhagen, PLG has
liaison offices in Amman, Bangkok, Brussels, Geneva, Tokyo, Washington DC, and
Nairobi and supports partners such as the World Bank, the European Union, the
Department of Peacekeeping Operations, the United Nations Mine Action Service,
the United Nations Environment, the Global Fund, USAID, the Millennium
Challenge Corporation, national governments, and others.
