Mission. Vision. Purpose.

UNOPS provides infrastructure, procurement and project management services for a sustainable world.

Our mission

Our mission is to help people build better lives and countries achieve peace and sustainable development.

Our vision

Our vision is a world where people can live full lives supported by sustainable, resilient and inclusive infrastructure and by the efficient, transparent use of public resources in procurement and project management.

Our purpose

We help people build better lives and countries achieve peace and sustainable development.

We bring to this task the values and principles of the United Nations and the innovation, boldness, speed and efficiency of a self-financed institution.

We bring the highest international standards to what we do, while respecting local contexts. We do this as our contribution to tackling the huge challenges of the 21st century.

We provide practical solutions to assist our partners to save lives, protect people and their rights, and to build a better future.

We aspire to be a leader in the efforts to channel private sector investments for social and environmental impact while addressing the immense needs for sustainable development.

What drives us is a passion to fight inequalities and to provide opportunities to those most vulnerable. This means we often work in the most challenging environments, building foundations for countries and communities to achieve peace and sustainable development.

We are passionate about quality: In our people and in what we do.

We earn the trust of those we work with by caring about what they value, and by delivering on our promise to always act in the service of people in need.

Our values

Partnerships

We recognize that strong partnerships and effective coordination among diverse actors is crucial to efficiency and innovation.
Excellence

We add value to our partners’ results when our practices and performance are of high quality and are well-adapted to local conditions.
Accountability for results and transparency

We seek to help our partners exercise their accountability. We believe better use of public resources can have a transformational effect – helping to enhance transparency, empower institutions and promote peace and sustainable development.

UNOPS provides infrastructure, procurement and project management services for a more sustainable world.

We combine the best of the UN and the private sector to ensure our partners maximize the positive impact of their peace and security, humanitarian and development projects – with equality, inclusiveness, sustainability and resilience as the foundations of our work.
