With some 1,000 core staff and tens of thousands of consultants around the world, global headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark and a decentralized network of six regional offices and some 30 operations centres, UNOPS oversees activities in more than 50 project countries.
UNOPS uniquely combines United Nations values, not-for-profit status and exemption from tax and customs duties with private sector business efficiencies.
