Stagiaire Technicien(ne) en chaîne de froid

The UNOPS Africa Regional Office, based in Nairobi, Kenya, oversees the delivery of over 250 projects across 40 countries, with a focus on fragile and conflict-affected settings. Supported by more than 1,000 personnel across five multi-country offices—spanning North, West, Central, Eastern and Southern Africa, and the Horn of Africa—the office advances national priorities through strategic initiatives in Climate Action, Health, Infrastructure, Peace and Security, Middle-Income Country Support, and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The Regional Office provides strategic leadership, operational support, and oversight in key areas including Partnerships, Communications, Management and Oversight, Infrastructure and Project Management, Health and Safety, and Security. By promoting excellence in project delivery, fostering knowledge sharing, and driving continuous improvement, the office contributes to sustainable infrastructure, transparent resource management, and a better quality of life for communities across the continent.

Since 1999, the Central Africa Multi-Country Office (CAMCO), headquartered in Yaoundé, Cameroun, has partnered with UN agencies, international organizations, and governments in 15 Central African nations. CAMCO provides fund management, technical assistance, and capacity-building across critical sectors—infrastructure, health, education, governance, procurement, and environmental protection—while working with national and local authorities to secure local ownership and sustainable impact. The diverse portfolio spans rural-community empowerment, road rehabilitation, and peace consolidation in the DRC and CAR through Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) programmes, alongside wide-ranging procurement and human-resource services. Recent initiatives include drinking-water systems in Cameroon, mining-sector capacity-building, health-system support in the DRC, and infrastructure development in Madagascar, funded by a broad array of international partners. Together, these projects advance regional stability, resilient infrastructure, and improved livelihoods throughout Central Africa.

Since 1999, UNOPS has been a committed partner in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), delivering fund management, technical support, capacity building, and project management services. In collaboration with the Government, UN agencies, and international partners, UNOPS advances sustainable development across key sectors, including infrastructure, health, education, governance, procurement, and environmental protection. A strong focus on local ownership ensures that projects are implemented in a way that builds national capacity and empowers communities. UNOPS supports peace and security through technical assistance to MONUSCO and contributes to environmental preservation by managing regional initiatives such as CAFI and FONAREDD, working closely with Indigenous communities. In the health sector, efforts include the construction of health centers in Kwango (KOICA) and national health system support through the RSS3 initiative (GAVI). UNOPS also leads agricultural infrastructure development and food security efforts through the PNDA project (World Bank) and supports governance and stabilization through the multi-donor Coherence Fund, alongside humanitarian HR services for UNHCR.

La RDC est engagée dans le processus de planification du portefeuille du soutien complet (PPSc) par GAVI (l’Alliance du Vaccin) pour sa troisième phase, en appui au Plan National de Développement Sanitaire (PNDS). Ceci pour améliorer les prestations de vaccination avec équité dans la vision d’atteindre la Couverture Sanitaire Universelle (CSU) ainsi que la mise en œuvre du plan mondial pour la vaccination. Le portefeuille de soutien de GAVI continuera de financer en partie les activités de vaccinations de routine pour les enfants de 0 à 12 mois et celles du Renforcement du Système de Santé (RSS) de RDC.  UNOPS apportera un appui technique et logistique au programme RSS4 transition  pour atteindre ses objectifs d'accroissement de la couverture vaccinale et d’amélioration des services de vaccination de manière équitable en RDC.  Le besoin de chambres froides entièrement fonctionnelles étant considéré comme urgent, l'UNOPS a obtenu des fonds de GAVI RSS 4 Transition pour la période de 2026 à 2027, qui visent à répondre aux besoins d'urgence.
