En #Ucrania 🇺🇦, los ataques contra la infraestructura energética han afectado gravemente a calefacción y suministro eléctrico. Gracias a financiación de @AECID_es, una iniciativa reducirá cortes de electricidad y contribuirá a la prestación de servicios.

'Awaaz' means 'voices', and that's exactly what this @UNOPS-implemented initiative is all about: creating a trusted, safe, people-centred communication channel that enables people across #Afghanistan – including women and girls – to voice their needs, and connect to services, including primary healthcare.  

Listening to the communities we serve, humanitarian action becomes more human and effective.

Great work from my UNOPS colleagues, together with our partners.

Great to connect with @IFADPresident Alvaro Lario on the sidelines of #HLPF.

We discussed the growing partnership between @UNOPS and @IFAD, and opportunities to deepen our collaboration to deliver results for rural and agricultural communities – especially those affected by fragility and crisis.

By combining UNOPS infrastructure expertise with @IFAD's focus on innovative financing for rural development, there is immense potential to scale up this critical work in support of livelihoods, building climate-resilience, and helping people to thrive.

I’m very pleased to present @UNOPS 2025 Annual Report.

Amid profound global challenges, it’s the result of our collective efforts to deliver for communities in need around the world.

The report lays bare what UNOPS does best: Getting things done with practical solutions.

Together with other UN organizations and our partners, UNOPS made a tangible impact in 2025, with much of our work supporting people in highly complex environments like Afghanistan, Gaza, Haiti, Myanmar, Sudan, Ukraine, and Yemen.

💊 We delivered vital medical supplies
👷‍♀️ Created paid work opportunities and boosted local economic development
🏫 Built climate-resilient roads, hospitals and schools for children
🫂 Supported shattered communities to rebuild and come together

At a time when multilateral cooperation is under serious strain, this report speaks to the value of UNOPS agile, efficient, demand-driven approach, and its contribution towards critical humanitarian response, sustainable development, and peace and security efforts.

But together, there is so much more to do. To improve lives, respond to immense needs, and help shape a more peaceful, fairer and greener world for all.
