In Brazil, UNOPS supports a range of partners – including federal and state governments, UN agencies, public institutions and other organizations  – with infrastructure, procurement, project management and human resources services. 

Through our work , we support our partners’ efforts to improve livelihoods, enhance access to health and social services, and improve key public infrastructure – helping to advance education for all and strengthen the rule of law.

UNOPS also supports public-private partnerships that promote efficient and transparent public spending – and which foster long-term sustainable development.
