Mission
UNOPS mission is to expand the capacity of the United Nations system and its partners to implement peacebuilding, humanitarian and development operations that matter for people in need.
While partners may need a public profile for fundraising or advocacy, UNOPS does not and takes a low-key position as a project implementer with no other agenda.
As part of the United Nations goal of “delivering as one”, UNOPS does not challenge the role of any United Nations organization in the political or policy areas. UNOPS aims to offer implementation expertise that permits others to reduce risks; improve speed, quality or cost-effectiveness, and focus on their policy-oriented mandates and core competencies.
