Our mission is to help people build better lives and countries achieve sustainable development. UNOPS areas of expertise cover infrastructure, procurement, project management, financial management and human resources.

Background Information - Philippines
UNOPS Philippines was established in early 2016 to support, develop and oversee UNOPS' growing portfolio of programmes and projects in the Philippines. The office currently provides implementation services to a range of projects where we work very closely with development partners, the Government and the Supreme Court focusing on the Governance/Justice, health and infrastructure sector.
The office is based in Manila, Philippines with a project site in the Guiuan area.
UNOPS Philippines is in the process of expanding its area of engagement in cooperation with its development partners and is looking for qualified and committed experts.
Project Background Information - GOJUST II
The Justice Sector Reform Programme: Governance in Justice II (GOJUST II) aims to strengthen the Rule of Law through a two-pronged approach by combining improved administration of justice and enhanced promotion and protection of human rights. GOJUST II will build on the experiences and lessons learnt from the work done in the previous GOJUST programme and previous EU-Philippines Justice Support Programmes in the sector.
UNOPS will support the implementation of GOJUST II by providing logistical support (organisation of activities i.e. training, workshops, seminars, study tours, etc.) and procurement of necessary equipment. In order to deliver the project requirements, UNOPS KHOC is establishing a Project Management Support Unit (PMSU) based in Manila, Philippines, that will include both international and local as well as specialist experts within their respective fields.
Background Information - Job Specific
To better raise public awareness of the work of GOJUST, the project will redesign its website to create a more user-friendly, attractive design, as well as interactive features.
