Main Activities

This part answers the question: What will UNOPS do to achieve the objectives?

  • This section should describe the specific, measurable actions that will be undertaken to deliver results.
  • For example, if the objective is to enhance healthcare infrastructure, the activities might include:
    • Conducting feasibility studies.
    • Designing construction blueprints.
    • Supervising construction to ensure compliance

Scope of Work

Scope of Work

The scope of work defines the boundaries of UNOPS’s responsibilities, ensuring clarity and alignment between all parties.

In-scope activities:

Tasks UNOPS will take full responsibility for.

Out-of-scope activities:

Tasks outside of UNOPS’s remit, which the partner needs to address or be aware of.

By explicitly stating what is included and excluded, this section minimizes misunderstandings and sets realistic expectations.

Donor-Specific Priorities

Proposals must demonstrate alignment with donor expectations and priorities. Key considerations include:

Gender Equality

Visibility

Value for Money

These elements ensure the proposal meets donor requirements while strengthening the partnership.
