The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) plans to open an office in Warsaw to encourage and support early reconstruction efforts in Ukraine, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
"The body will first and foremost carry out programmes for the reconstruction of Ukraine," the ministry said in a press release late last week, adding that it is also expected to "strengthen the presence of Polish companies in UN programmes."
The ministry said the local UNOPS office "is supposed to hire about a hundred employees, mainly from Poland, increasing the opportunities for our citizens to be employed in international structures."
UNOPS, based in Copenhagen, says it seeks to maximize the effect of resources related to reconstruction and taps international expertise in areas such as project management and infrastructure building.
In an earlier communique, UNOPS said it plans to "build a team of local and international experts to contribute to projects aimed at advancing the recovery and reconstruction of Ukraine."
