United Nations Office for Project Services
The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) is a United Nations agency dedicated to implementing humanitarian and development projects for the United Nations System, international financial institutions, governments and other partners around the world, with a focus on infrastructure, procurement and project management The organization's global headquarters is located at the UN City campus in Copenhagen, Denmark. UNOPS delivers around $3 billion worth of development projects for its partners every year. Its activities have ranged from managing the construction of schools in Afghanistan, to building shelters in Haiti, to procuring ambulances to support the Ebola response in Liberia.
UNOPS is a member of the United Nations System Chief Executives Board and Senior Management Group, the Environment Management Group (EMG), the United Nations Sustainable Development Group and works closely with UN partners, governments, international financial institutions and multilateral development banks, such as: the World Bank, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, United Nations Department of Peace Operations, Government of Argentina, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the European Union, and the government of the United States.
UNOPS was established in 1973 as part of the UNDP. It became an independent, self-financing organization in 1995. UNOPS concentrates its support in the areas of infrastructure, procurement, project management, human resources and financial management services. UNOPS often works in post-disaster and peace and security settings, developing countries and economies in transition. In December 2010, the United Nations General Assembly reaffirmed the mandate of UNOPS "as a central resource for the UN system in procurement and contracts management as well as in civil works and physical infrastructure development, including the related capacity development activities". Examples of such works include building roads, schools, and health clinics; removing landmines; and providing expertise for holding elections.
A new headquarters of UNOPS opened in Copenhagen in May 2009.
Today, UNOPS delivers around $3 billion worth of projects each year in more than 130 nations across the world.
UNOPS is self-financing. It covers its costs by charging a fee on each project supported. UNOPS is not-for-profit.
UNOPS offers implementation, advisory and transactional services in its five core areas of expertise:
