Based in Tunis, the North Africa Multi-Country Office (NAMCO) oversees operations in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, and Morocco, delivering project management, financial services, infrastructure, procurement, and human resources support. With active project offices in Morocco and Libya, NAMCO works in close partnership with governments, NGOs, and international financial institutions to advance socio-economic development across the region. NAMCO’s portfolio spans health, justice, climate action, and environmental preservation, while promoting youth and women's empowerment through improved access to education and employment opportunities. Key initiatives include: supplying digital learning materials for Tunisian schools (World Bank), supporting Tunisia’s national development plan (AICS), enhancing maritime border management (EU), delivering high-tech health equipment to 75 hospitals (World Bank), supporting resilient agriculture in Libya (IFAD), and advancing vocational training in Morocco (KOICA).

Since December 2022, UNOPS has partnered with the Government of Madagascar to advance sustainable development, reaching over six million people through initiatives in health, energy, agriculture, and infrastructure. By fostering strong collaboration with national institutions and development partners, UNOPS supports resilience, essential service delivery, and local economic growth. In health, World Bank-funded projects such as MIAROVA, PPSB, and PARNII strengthen vaccine cold chains and provide biomedical equipment to hospitals. In energy and connectivity, projects like PROGIDY, MIONJO, LEAD, and DECIM improve public service delivery and expand access to solar energy. Agricultural and environmental sustainability are promoted through AD2M and DEFIS, funded by IFAD and the OPEC Fund, which support irrigation, rural roads, and environmental protection. The CASEF project enhances national resilience by rehabilitating key runways. These efforts reflect UNOPS's commitment to supporting Madagascar’s development priorities and improving the quality of life for its people.
