Mr. Moreira da Silva will present examples of UNOPS work in crisis response, sustainable infrastructure and reconstruction of basic social services, supporting livelihoods, mitigating explosive risks and climate action. More on the work of UNOPS can be found here.

Over the past three years, he has travelled extensively to UNOPS project sites in the Gaza Strip, Ukraine, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Sudan, Syria, Mozambique and others. He has recently returned from a visit to Gaza - and has spoken widely about the dire situation he has observed there, and the need for immediate action on early recovery, amid big talk on reconstruction.
