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 2012, and was reclassified, due a growing portfolio, to Operations
Centre (RSOC) at the beginning of 2017. Since 2017, RSOC operations have
expanded to North Macedonia, Georgia and Montenegro.
UNOPS has been a reliable partner primarily of the Government of Serbia,
and later of the Governments of North Macedonia, Georgia and Montenegro, in
providing support for demanding socio-economic reforms and facilitating
accession to the European Union.
Currently, the RSOC is implementing 13 projects
focussed on sustainable socio-economic development, creation of more favourable
environment for employability, business and infrastructure growth, increased
security, improved education, enhanced social inclusion either via enabling
durable housing solutions or providing access to health, education and jobs for
the most vulnerable population. All projects have good governance and gender
equality as transversal themes. UNOPS projects are contextualised within the
broader Sustainable Development Goals framework and objectives.
