Turkmenistan and UNOPS: new landmarks of cooperation for the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals – MENAFN.COM

United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) is the operational arm of the United Nations implementing unit projects for the UN system. What are the priority tasks for UNOPS? As a member of the United Nations family, UNOPS has a mandate, expertise and experience in providing project, infrastructure and procurement support and services to Governments, UN agencies and other development partners. UNOPS is a unique organization among the UN system. It does not receive any core contributions from Member States, but entirely depends on projects on a full cost recovery basis. This allows UNOPS to remain flexible and agile to optimally meet the needs of partners quickly and efficiently. UNOPS has been growing significantly over the past year. In 2020, we implemented over 1, 000 projects in over 80 countries around the globe, and in total, delivered over 2. 2 billion dollars of assistance. We also have vast experience in providing support to various partners in the Europe and Central Asia Region, and have been implementing a variety of projects, including to supply critical medical equipment and supplies, construct school facilities and provide technical assistance on climate change. We are excited to now operate in Turkmenistan, and we look forward
