UNOPS

The UNOPS Africa Regional Office, based in Nairobi, Kenya, oversees the delivery of over 250 projects across 40 countries, with a focus on fragile and conflict-affected settings. Supported by more than 1,000 personnel across five multi-country offices—spanning North, West, Central, Eastern and Southern Africa, and the Horn of Africa—the office advances national priorities through strategic initiatives in Climate Action, Health, Infrastructure, Peace and Security, Middle-Income Country Support, and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The Regional Office provides strategic leadership, operational support, and oversight in key areas including Partnerships, Communications, Management and Oversight, Infrastructure and Project Management, Health and Safety, and Security. By promoting excellence in project delivery, fostering knowledge sharing, and driving continuous improvement, the office contributes to sustainable infrastructure, transparent resource management, and a better quality of life for communities across the continent.

Since December 2022, UNOPS has partnered with the Government of Madagascar to advance sustainable development, reaching over six million people through initiatives in health, energy, agriculture, and infrastructure. By fostering strong collaboration with national institutions and development partners, UNOPS supports resilience, essential service delivery, and local economic growth. In health, World Bank-funded projects such as MIAROVA, PPSB, and PARNII strengthen vaccine cold chains and provide biomedical equipment to hospitals. In energy and connectivity, projects like PROGIDY, MIONJO, LEAD, and DECIM improve public service delivery and expand access to solar energy. Agricultural and environmental sustainability are promoted through AD2M and DEFIS, funded by IFAD and the OPEC Fund, which support irrigation, rural roads, and environmental protection. The CASEF project enhances national resilience by rehabilitating key runways. These efforts reflect UNOPS's commitment to supporting Madagascar’s development priorities and improving the quality of life for its people.
