UNOPS supports the government of Bangladesh and other key development partners in achieving their goals and objectives in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

Since 2003, UNOPS has supported several national projects in capacity development and infrastructure building with a focus on procurement, human resources management, finance, and project management.

Together with partners, we help build national capacities, improve the resilience of communities across the country and support the implementation of the SDGs.
