UNOPS Project of the Year 2023: Restoring urban services in Yemen

UNOPS Project of the Year Awards recognize outstanding achievement in project delivery, highlighting our operations across all regions. Out of some 1,100 projects implemented by UNOPS in over 80 countries in 2023, 6 projects were chosen to receive the award.
With funding from the World Bank’s International Development Association, UNOPS with support from local partners, restored critical urban services in cities through the Yemen Integrated Urban Services Emergency Project. More than 3 million people are benefiting from improved access to water and sanitation, transport, energy and solid waste management services - helping to improve health outcomes, basic living conditions and local economic activity. More than 1.6 million temporary jobs were created for residents, helping build local capacity and resilience in communities affected by conflict.
