Key partner

Government of Argentina

UNOPS has been present in Argentina since 2005, supporting the government in achieving tangible and sustainable results that directly benefit millions of Argentines.

UNOPS supports the government at its national, provincial and municipal levels in the formulation and joint execution of projects that prioritize the improvement of living conditions – especially for those most vulnerable.

We support projects that have been defined as national priorities for the country and prioritize those that reinforce the fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals.

UNOPS helps partners achieve their goals through our recognized experience in the management of acquisitions, infrastructure and project management. We apply a sustainability approach, relying on tools for risk analysis and management, and prioritize strengthening national capacities through advisory services and direct training for government officials.
