Strategic Plan 2026-2029

For over 30 years, UNOPS has been a driving force in delivering practical solutions to the world's most pressing challenges.

Working closely with the UN family and our partners, we have supported humanitarian action, responded to development needs, and enabled critical peace and security operations. Through this work, we have helped advance prosperity and equality, and accelerated progress on climate action and the Sustainable Development Goals.

UNOPS Strategic Plan 2026-2029 builds on this experience – guiding our efforts to help our partners scale up and speed up impact through practical solutions.

Action at scale

As the world faces a growing number of complex, interconnected challenges, the need to deliver coordinated impact at scale is more crucial than ever.

UNOPS is focused on expanding the implementation capacity of the UN and our partners – providing agile, efficient and cost-effective services in infrastructure, procurement, project management, human resources and financial management.

We are also committed to enabling efficient and cost-effective multilateral partnerships that are instrumental to advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and activating the Pact for the Future.


United to deliver

UNOPS is committed to helping drive efficiencies and sharpen impact across the UN system – ensuring that together, the UN family is well-equipped to meet growing global challenges in efficient and cost-effective ways.

Our Strategic Plan supports UN system-wide efforts to achieve greater integration, cost-effectiveness and collaboration. Drawing on our experience as a self-financed, demand-driven UN entity, as well as our focus on providing practical solutions, UNOPS works closely with the UN family to streamline and enhance processes, strengthen capacity, and ensure we deliver impact at scale.


How we contribute

We believe the comparative advantages of UNOPS practical solutions complement the mandates of other entities across the UN system, and can be a powerful means for scaling up collective action.

Our vision

We envision a world where all people have access to human rights, peace and sustainable development, supported by sustainable, resilient and inclusive infrastructure and effective and transparent use of public resources in procurement and project management.


Our mission

We’re driven by our mission to help people build a more peaceful, fair and sustainable world.


Values & mandate

In everything that we do, UNOPS is guided by UN values and human rights.

Our Strategic Plan reaffirms UNOPS commitment to values of respect, integrity, professionalism and accountability. We will remain true to our mandate, and uphold the highest UN standards. Building on UNOPS reforms, we seek to increase agility, trust and transparency, and to further optimize operational efficiencies.
