- UNOPS origins trace back to 1973, and until 1994, the Office for Project Services was part of the UN Development Programme.
- By decision of the UN General Assembly, UNOPS became a separate, self-financing entity within the UN development system on 1 January 1995.
- UNOPS is mandated to expand implementation capacity across peace and security, humanitarian, and development efforts.
- Through its project services — including infrastructure, procurement, project management, human resources, and financial management services — UNOPS supports governments, the United Nations, and other partners in achieving Member States’ Global Goals, and local objectives for people and countries.
