Tonight, the @UNOPS office in Mykolaiv was damaged as a drone hit a nearby commercial building.
Thankfully, no-one is injured.
Attacks like this are unacceptable. Civilians and civilian infrastructure are protected by international humanitarian law.

The 4th International Mine Action Conference in #Baku gathered experts and partners to address the global challenge of landmines and unexploded ordnance.
Mine action is a vital first step towards safe return and recovery.

Back to desks, not screens! 🎒
On 1 September, kids in communities across Ukraine head back to school. Together with 🇪🇺 🇯🇵 🇩🇰, @UNOPS has rebuilt classrooms & shelters to make offline learning safe again. The work continues.
Every child deserves a safe place to learn!

During emergencies, knowing where damage is & who is affected makes all the difference.
UNOPS Compass uses satellite imagery, mapping tech & AI to help partners quickly understand conditions on the ground & direct support where it is needed most.
We're at #AIforGood this week to show how it's making an impact 🌎

In #Ukraine, the impacts of the ongoing war have hit #Mykolaiv's utility networks hard.
To support recovery, @UNOPS_UEE & @DanishMFA are helping restore critical heating & water services for the city with vital emergency repair equipment.

"With a large-scale war in Ukraine now in its 5th year, physical rehabilitation after injuries and amputations is incredibly relevant."

The Caspian Sea supports millions of people through fisheries, transport & coastal livelihoods – but its future is under growing threat from pollution.
We're working with @theGEF, @WorldBankGroup & the govts of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan & Turkmenistan to support healthier ecosystems for the Caspian & the communities that depend on it 👇

Clearing sea mines is "extremely challenging and very dangerous," says Paul Heslop of @UNMAS. It’s still unclear if mines have been deployed in the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing Middle East conflict, but the threat to all vessels is serious.

Terrific to interact with @EIB leaders at the #EIBForum to discuss the impact of the growing collaboration between @UNOPS & EIB.
I had an excellent discussion with VP Karl Nehammer and his team on translating vision and financing into tangible results.
We look forward to strengthening our partnership further in fragile contexts and middle income countries.

Great conversation today at #EIBForum Global Partnerships Panel.
We are very glad for being a partner of choice on the implementation of EU Global Gateway projects, especially on infrastructure.
Sustainable and resilient infrastructure is a sine qua non condition for sustainable development and climate action. While this requires a financing and policy boost, nothing can be done without strengthening the capacity for implementation.
Partnerships across public and private sectors - and putting local communities' needs front and centre - are key to delivering sustainable and resilient development.
With less than 4 years ahead of us to deliver on SDGs, we can’t miss this responsibility.
Let’s get the job done.

Another day of survival. Ukraine deserves better.
“It’s just another day of survival.”
These powerful words from my colleague Yana in #Ukraine – spoken from her apartment with very limited power & heating (despite freezing winter temps!) – encapsulate the suffering & harsh reality that Ukrainians across the country continue to endure.
It’s now been 4 years since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine – & the devastation is immense.
People & institutions are beyond drained. Families are utterly exhausted.

🔎Spotted in Kyiv: generators provided by @UNOPS to @SESU_UA in 2025 with funding from the Republic of Korea. 🇰🇷
As power outages persist, generators are deployed to provide residential and public buildings with electricity.
