Background Information – Cambodia
UNOPS established its Cambodia Multi-Country Office
(KHOH) in early 2013. Since then, KHOH has carried out a diverse set of
projects/programs, such as a multi-donor funded project to support the
Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (also known as the Khmer Rouge
Tribunal). Also, KHOH has been providing advisory services in the
infrastructure sector to other development partners, such as the Government of
the Russian Federation and KOICA, and procurement support and advisory services
to different line ministries of the Royal Government of Cambodia.
UNOPS KHOH is also overseeing business activities
and/or providing Support and Services to UNOPS operations in other countries,
within the Greater Mekong Sub-Region such as Lao PDR and the Socialist Republic
of Vietnam, as well as the Philippines, mainly focused on the infrastructure
sector, but also encompassing good governance, trade facilitation and
environmental issues.
In addition, KHOH is providing Support Services to the
Malaria Programs and Regional Artemisinin Initiative (RAI) funded by the Global
Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM).
UNOPS KHOH is in the process of expanding its area of
engagement in cooperation with different development partners, focusing mainly
on a portfolio comprised of projects and programs in the infrastructure and
environmental sectors, as well as continuing with the provision of
transactional services (HR and Procurement services). For that, UNOPS is
subsequently looking for qualified and committed experts that can contribute to
fulfill our mandate in Greater Mekong Sub-Region and beyond.
