 UNITED NATIONS OFFICE PROJECT SERVICE (UNOPS)
UNOPS was establish in 2000 in Sierra Leone and has been supporting the government, United Nations and other partners in a range of procurement, project management and infrastructure-related services.
From supporting long-term peace and resilience by enabling access to basic services to providing renewable energy solutions, UNOPS works closely with partners to increase the economic, social and environmental sustainability for the projects it supports – with a focus on sustainability, efficiency and developing national capacity.
MISSION
Our mission is to help people build better lives and countries achieve peace and sustainable development.
VISION
Our vision is a world where people can live full lives supported by sustainable, resilient and inclusive infrastructure and by the efficient, transparent use of public resources in procurement and project management.
MANDATE
Since 1995, through resolutions and decisions, Member States have evolved UNOPS mandate, particularly with respect to the nature of our project services and the types of partners we engage with.
By 2017, the legislative basis for UNOPS contributions had been firmly established through a number of resolutions and decisions, including General Assembly resolution 65/176, and Executive Board decisions 2009/25, 2010/21, 2013/23, 2015/12, 2016/12, 2016/19 and 2017/16.
Currently, UNOPS is mandated to expand implementation capacity across peace and security, humanitarian, and development efforts. Through its project services — including infrastructure, procurement, project management, human resources, and financial management services — UNOPS supports governments, the United Nations, and other partners in achieving Member States’ Global Goals, and local objectives for people and countries.
