Since the opening of the Jerusalem Office in 2006, UNOPS
has significantly strengthened its operations in Palestine. Our expert
knowledge, skills and management systems contribute to the sustainable
development of public infrastructure in Gaza and the West Bank, including Area
C and East Jerusalem.
In recognition of its ability to affect and lead positive
change, the Jerusalem Office has been named the UNOPS Project Management and
Infrastructure Centre of Excellence.
The Jerusalem Office is the first UN office to receive the
Level 4 P3M3 Maturity Model certification in project management by APMG. This
certification demonstrates the well-structured, standardized and defined
project management processes and methodologies applied to projects, generating
the best results desired by our partners.
This achievement is part of a broader agenda to increase
the Office’s impact on development projects, by improving our services and
adding value to the outcomes of our partners’ works. The office has benchmarked
its capabilities against international industry level standards and through
this has achieved several prestigious certifications, including ISO 9001
(Quality Management), ISO 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety), ISO 14001
(Environment Management) and Level 4 P3M3.
“Improving Security
and Access to Justice in the Occupied Palestinian Territories” is a Programme
financially supported by the UK Government. The date of commencement of the
Programme was April 1st 2015. DFID approved a budget of £5.788 Million over a 3
year period. In line with the donor’s funding requirements the allocation is
reviewed on an annual basis subject to review by the UK Government’s CSSF Board
and therefore governed by its financial and administrative rules and
regulations. These funds are specifically provided to UNOPS, to support the
Palestinian Ministry of Interior (MOI) in its efforts to strengthen civilian
oversight within the security sector and further develop its legal and
institutional framework, its organisational structures, processes and capabilities
to facilitate civilian oversight of the state security.
