The ECR Regional Office oversees and enables efficient and effective delivery of support to partners in the ECR region in line with UNOPS’ corporate strategy. UNOPS portfolio in ECR consists of projects in many countries located in the Europe and Central Asia region managed out of country and multi-country offices - in Austria (AUMCO), Serbia (RSMCO) and Ukraine (UAMCO). 

Through high-quality implementation of its diverse multi-sectoral projects, ECR supports national partners in achieving all the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), actively contributing to 15  SDGs. Climate change (SDG 13) is causing increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events (heat waves, droughts, floods etc.), challenging agricultural production and water management, damaging critical infrastructure and interrupting the provision of basic services (e.g., water and sanitation, health, education, energy and transport).

Concurrently, UNOPS restated Strategic Plan anticipates increased demand for contributions to Goal 13, including renewable energy supporting Goal 7. It highlights climate change, including renewable energy as areas for substantive focus. In accordance with the Corporate Strategic Plan, energy efficiency, transition and security (SDG 7) is a priority focus area of the ECR Regional Office Strategy, whereby the region intends to build up the portfolio in this sector. EU Accession is another key pillar of the ECR Strategy. So far, ECR is implementing a handful of projects in the energy sector, including EU4Clean Air in North Macedonia and winterization support in Ukraine.
