The United Nations
Office for Project Services (UNOPS) mission is to help people build better
lives and countries achieve sustainable development. UNOPS provides project
management, procurement and infrastructure services to governments, donors and
UN organisations. Its services can be advisory, implementation or
transactional, with development of the national capacity always in focus.
UNOPS was the first
organisation in the world that was awarded the four most prestigious
accreditations in project management, including PRINCE2 ®, and one of five
organisations in the world awarded the Gold Level from the Chartered Institute
of Procurement and Supply. For its
approach to project management and consistent quality UNOPS received ISO 9001
certification in 2011.
In Serbia, UNOPS has
been active since 2000, became the Project Centre (RSPC) in 2013, and was
reclassified, due a growing portfolio, to Operations Centre (RSOC) at the
beginning of 2017. UNOPS has been a reliable partner of the Government of the
Republic of Serbia in providing support for demanding socio-economic reforms
and facilitating accession to the European Union.
Currently, the RSOC is implementing 11 projects
focussed on: sustainable municipal development, creation of more favourable
environment for employability, business and infrastructure growth, enhanced
social inclusion via durable housing solutions and access to health, education
and jobs for the most vulnerable population and building climate-resilient
infrastructure. All projects have good governance and gender equality as
transversal theme. UNOPS projects are contextualised within the broader
Sustainable Development Goals framework and objectives.
