More than 1100 projects in 130 countries. These are the results of the work of the UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS) over the past year. According to the organization’s report, the total volume of aid provided amounted to about 2.7 billion dollars.

These funds were directed towards humanitarian response, social development, as well as initiatives in the field of peacebuilding and security.

Most projects were carried out in the context of conflicts and crises, including in high-risk areas.

“Against the backdrop of global challenges, UNOPS did what it does best: helped communities in need around the world by offering flexible and practical solutions,” said Jorge Moreira da Silva, Executive Director of the Office.

The organization provided support to affected communities in Afghanistan, Gaza, Haiti, Ukraine, Myanmar, Sudan, and Yemen. Two-thirds of UNOPS’s work took place in the most complex crisis situations.

Within the framework of its projects, the organization provided about 26 million person-days of paid work for local communities, including the poorest layers of the population.

Activity on the territory of Ukraine

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, millions of people across Ukraine live under conditions of disruptions in water supply, electricity, and heating. Problems in the areas of transport, access to education, and healthcare remain.

UNOPS closely cooperates with other UN structures, central and municipal authorities of Ukraine, as well as with other local and international partners, providing indispensable assistance to areas affected by the war.

Having the largest potential in the field of demining activities within the UN system, the Administration helps Ukraine reduce risks associated with explosive devices, protect the civilian population, and support the socio-economic recovery of affected areas.
