UNOPS Overview:
Established in 1995 by the UN General Assembly with a mandate in infrastructure, procurement, and project management, UNOPS acts as a service provider, technical advisor, and implementer for its partners, which include governments, IFIs, UN Agencies, and the private sector. Partners call on UNOPS to supplement their own capacities, accelerate delivery, reduce risks, boost cost-effectiveness, but also to assure quality for delivery and impact. UNOPS is overseen and guided by the joint UNDP/UNOPS/UNFPA Executive Board, members of which are elected annually by the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). The UNOPS Executive Director reports to the UN Secretary-General.
UNOPS is the only UN entity that operates on a full cost-recovery basis without receiving core funding from member states. UNOPS maintains a network of more than 80 country offices and operates in over 130 countries around the world. In 2018, UNOPS supported more than 900 projects worth 1.9 billion USD. 37% of this support was provided to governments, while 32% was delivered through partnerships with various UN organizations. During 2017, UNOPS supported its partners by procuring more than 1 billion USD of goods, services and works; constructing or rehabilitating over 100 buildings such as schools and hospitals; and deploying approximately 10,000 project managers and technical experts.
In line with its 2018-2021 strategic plan, UNOPS ambition is to become a known and recognized resource providing collaborative advantages that expand implementation capacity for Governments, the United Nations, and other partners, in support of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. To advance on this ambition, UNOPS works through a number of modalities to provide comprehensive implementation services to its partners, leveraging its expertise in five service lines:
- Sustainable Infrastructure
- Procurement
- Project Management
- Financial / Grant management
- Human Resources / Transactional Services
UNOPS work in Tajikistan commenced over 20 years ago executing over 400 projects nationwide. Currently, UNOPS is working with the Government of Tajikistan and relevant partners to develop its portfolio in the country, to advance efforts in support of the National Development Plan (2016-2030) and promote SDG achievement.
