name: United Nations Office for Project Services
text: UNOPS is a self-financing entity of the United Nations. They provide operational management services to a wide range of clients in every field where the United Nations has a mandate â€“ from infrastructure and public works, electoral logistics, landmine awareness to public sector reform, from informatics solutions to programmes aiming at eradicating poverty.
  
  Upon request by a client, they provide integrated operations management services from start to finish for a client programme or they provide ad hoc services, as clients need. Such services include selecting and hiring project personnel, procuring goods, contracting, organizing training, managing financial resources and administering and supervising loan activities.
  
  In 2004 alone, UNOPS was entrusted with business valued at US$ 638 million. In any given year, UNOPS procures contracts and recruits for over eight hundred client projects resulting in an average annual USD 500 million service delivery under what they call the project portfolio of services. Revenues we earn from their loan administration and supervision work for the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the Global Fund for Aids, Tuberculosis and MalariaGATM) and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) represents an average 16 per cent of their annual revenues.
