UNOPS Nepal Context:
Since 2015, UNOPS has engaged closely with the Government of Nepal and several development partners in development efforts for the Government of Nepal including the modernization of the Nepal Police, the post-earthquake assessment of damaged buildings, and the enrollment of beneficiaries into housing grant schemes. It has also supported homeowners engaged in the reconstruction process, retrofitting damaged houses, and reconstruction of disability-friendly schools. It has also delivered essential lifesaving oxygen therapy equipment to support COVID-19 response efforts.
The functional objective of UNOPS Nepal is to deliver its projects efficiently and effectively in alignment with government priorities following UNOPS rules and regulations. This is to drive forward the outcomes sought by the clients and funding partners and contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while ensuring gender, diversity, and inclusion are mainstreamed in all its work for the people of Nepal.
