UNOPS Somalia Country
Office (SOCO) has had a solid and continuous in-country expert presence
successfully implementing programs since the mid-1990s, where it is currently
undertaking various projects and initiatives in close collaboration with the
Federal Government of Somalia (FGS), Federal Member States (FMS) and partners
from the global donor community. UNOPS’ projects in Somalia focus on several
key sectors that include infrastructure development, institutional capacity
building, project management, advisory services, and procurement services.
These projects cut across multiple sectors, including education, healthcare,
national security, law enforcement, immigration services, justice, transport,
and public works among others. UNOPS work in Somalia is geared towards driving
growth and development in the country, a process that requires developing a
close relationship with the FGS and the other development partners. Through its
involvement in Somalia’s development process, UNOPS is providing transparent
and accountable solutions in the country’s state and nation-building process.
In addition, UNOPS is also committed to implementing the United Nations
Strategic Framework Somalia 2017 – 2020, with the aim of helping Somalia
achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. UNOPS work within the context of
these commitments means that the projects it implements in Somalia are
specifically designed to provide long-term solutions in the country, leading to
sustainable and inclusive growth.
What drives us is a
passion to fight inequalities and to provide opportunities to those most
vulnerable. This means we often work in the most challenging environments,
building foundations for communities to function and people to live with
dignity and respect.
