UNOPS in Sierra Leone supports the government, United Nations and other partners in a range of procurement, project management and infrastructure-related services.

From supporting long-term peace and resilience by enabling access to basic services to providing renewable energy solutions, UNOPS works closely with partners to increase the economic, social and environmental sustainability for the projects it supports – with a focus on sustainability, efficiency and developing national capacity.
