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 the 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 14 projects focussed on sustainable socio-economic development,
creation of a 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.
