In Brazil, UNOPS supports federal and state governments, UN agencies, public institutions and other organizations by providing infrastructure, procurement, project management and human resources services. Through our projects, we support partners to improve livelihoods, enhance access to health and social services, and improve infrastructure that helps strengthen rule of law.

UNOPS also supports public-private partnerships between the government and the private sector, helping to promote efficient and transparent public spending.
