Thoughtful infrastructure and partnerships deliver long-term benefits for communities and the environment.

During her mission to Sri Lanka, UNOPS Global Procurement Director Anne-Claire Howard visited two recently completed projects that highlight how infrastructure and smart procurement can support sustainable development.

She visited the LEED Gold certified headquarters of the South Asia Co-operative Environment Programme (SACEP)🌿, funded by the World Bank Sri Lanka. Designed with energy efficiency and environmental responsibility in mind, the building reflects a shared commitment to greener, more sustainable infrastructure in the region. Beyond the headquarters, UNOPS also supported the management of regional grants across South Asia aimed at reducing plastic pollution entering rivers and seas.

She also visted the 👩‍🔬National Plant Quarantine Services (NPQS) building at the Port of Colombo, funded by 🇰🇷KOICA Sri Lanka Office / 코이카 스리랑카 사무소, UNOPS supported the construction and procurement of a modern facility equipped with advanced technology. The new building will help Sri Lanka carry out faster and more efficient plant import and export inspections, strengthening biosecurity and trade.
