A United Nations agency implements more than 1,000 projects and provides 26 million working days in light of crises and conflicts

The office’s annual report stated that it provided technical, operational, and logistical support through these projects, providing about $2.7 billion in support of humanitarian response, sustainable development, and peace and security initiatives.

Most of these projects were implemented in response to conflicts and crises, including in high-risk areas. “Against the backdrop of international challenges, UNOPS has done what it does best: helping communities in need around the world with flexible and practical solutions.”said Jorge Moreira da Siva, Executive Director of the Office.

Two-thirds of the office’s work is carried out in complex circumstances. Through its projects, the agency provided about 26 million days of paid work to local communities – including the poorest – including 10 million days of paid work for women.

UNOPS provides practical solutions in the areas of peace and security, humanitarian operations, and development. The office helps the United Nations, governments and other partners manage projects and provide sustainable infrastructure.
