    Implementation of the restated UNOPS strategic plan, 2022-2025 : report of the Executive Director for 2024
    (United Nations, 2025) UNOPS Executive Director
    The present report provides an update on implementation of the restated strategic plan, 2022-2025, with accounts of the realization of ambitions for impact, achievement of implementation and management results, and lessons learned. The report illustrates contributions that fill implementation gaps to help people in need and support countries in accelerating achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. It shows how the UNOPS role of expanding implementation capacity is an essential complement to other actors’ roles in policy advice and financing for development. In 2024, 5,557 UNOPS personnel implemented a portfolio of over 1,100 projects across more than 130 countries. It expanded implementation capacity for more than 200 partners, providing services amounting to approximately $2.7 billion. Activities included procurement of $1.7 billion worth of goods and services from more than 5,800 suppliers; management of over $380 million in grants for more than 1,700 implementing partners; and contracts and salaries for 9,577 partner personnel. UNOPS signed close to $4 billion in new agreements with partners. UNOPS worked with actors across peace and security, humanitarian and development efforts. About two thirds of the response was in countries in special or fragile situations. About half of UNOPS activities contributed to Goal 3, ‘good health and well-being’, and Goal 16, ‘peace, justice and strong institutions’. Thematic external evaluations substantiated UNOPS contributions to Goals 1 and 11, and identified causal pathways for direct and indirect contributions filling implementation gaps. Lessons learned highlighted the agility and adaptability of UNOPS in fragile situations, its potential to replicate past experience for projects and partnering, and opportunities to more systematically manage for impact. This report is complemented by internal outcome-based reports: case studies of 12 projects contributing to the most vulnerable people and 12 of the Goals; and nine country reports illustrating contributions to accelerating achievement of 11 Goals. The UNOPS portfolio analysis illustrates trends over the past decade.
