With a focus on advancing sustainable development, UNOPS supports the government of Guatemala, and other national partners through a variety of projects in the areas of health, education, justice, and water and sanitation, among others.

We provide practical solutions and technical assistance in project and infrastructure management, as well as procurement initiatives, with a focus on  improving the efficiency, cost-effectiveness and transparency of the country’s healthcare system.

From Guatemala, we work with partners to identify and manage risks, while helping to strengthen national and institutional capacity. UNOPS also ensures principles of diversity and inclusion are fully integrated into the projects we support.
