UNOPS has been working in Haiti for 20 years with the Haitian Government, other United Nations agencies and international organizations to support them in project management, procurement and logistics services. UNOPS also provides communication and governance support, as well as technical expertise in engineering and infrastructure for the implementation of projects that have a positive impact on the lives of Haitians. Over the past few years, the Haiti Country Office has mainly implemented major infrastructure projects (roads, schools, renewable energy), health-related procurement such as medical equipment and ambulances, and management and services in support of the government.
Haiti is a non-family duty station, facing significant security issues in its capital Port-au-Prince and some areas outside of the capital city. Projects are implemented primarily outside the capital, with more conducive security conditions. UNOPS Haiti management can be described as one led by a collaborative leadership, with strong support provided to each Project Manager and personnel. Most national and international personnel have worked long-term in-country for UNOPS.
