30 years of action
Delivering practical solutions where needs are greatest since 1995.For 30 years, UNOPS has been a driving force in delivering practical solutions to the world's most pressing challenges – making projects happen and responding where needs are greatest.
Working hand-in-hand with the UN family, governments and partners, we have helped respond to critical humanitarian and development needs – to promote peace and prosperity, advance equality, accelerate climate action and help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
From building essential infrastructure to procuring vital supplies and managing complex projects, funds and programmes, we have helped build more sustainable, inclusive and resilient communities around the world.
2025 marks UNOPS 30th anniversary. As we reflect on the impact of our work – across humanitarian, development and peace operations – we recommit to helping tackle the immense challenges of today and ahead – collectively and at scale.
Now more than ever, we are committed to action – for people and the planet.
For three decades, across development, peace and humanitarian operations, UNOPS has provided practical solutions to help ensure that the work of the United Nations is carried out efficiently, effectively and sustainably. As UNOPS marks its 30th anniversary, I salute all its personnel around the world – past and present – for their tireless dedication to the United Nations’ mission of peace, prosperity and dignity for all.
