The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) is the central resource for the United Nations system in procurement and contract management, as well as in civil works and physical infrastructure development. It focuses its activities on the areas of its mandate established by the General Assembly and its Executive Council while collaborating with other United Nations agencies, funds, and programmes on joint projects.
UNOPS supports local and national governments to maximize the efficiency of public investment, promote transparency, fight corruption and adapts to each country the best practices available worldwide in order to strengthen national capacities in the areas of procurement, public infrastructure, and project management.
With over 11,000 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.
In Latin America and the Caribbean, UNOPS adapts its approach to local context, providing a broad range of strategic solutions to improve member countries efforts in achieving the priorities of the Agenda 2030. Beyond its regular activities, it works in order to preserve and value the wealth of natural, cultural and human resources and to reduce gaps as inequality.
