The United
Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) is an operational arm of the United
Nations, supporting the successful implementation of its partners'
peacebuilding, humanitarian and development projects around the world. Mandated as a central resource of the United
Nations, UNOPS provides sustainable project management, procurement and
infrastructure services to a wide range of governments, donors and United
Nations organizations. With over 6,000

technical and management knowledge they need, where they need it. By implementing around 1,000 projects for our
partners at any given time, UNOPS makes significant contributions to results on
the ground, often in the most challenging environments.
