Building local economies

To help build the foundations for countries to achieve peace and sustainable development, UNOPS engages local communities and beneficiaries and ensures equitable access to project benefits. 

Through our projects, we work to protect the most vulnerable and advance equality, inclusion and the empowerment of women and girls. 

We help develop local economies by encouraging local procurement across all of our projects. We actively enhance the diversity of our supply base and encourage micro, small and medium-sized enterprises to explore and unlock their potential.
