Austria Multi-Country Office (AUMCO)

The Austria Multi-Country Office (AUMCO) is part of the UNOPS Europe and Central Asia Region (ECR). Specifically, AUMCO aims to enable the achievement of Agenda 2030 and the Paris Agreement through global programmes and tailored interventions in the Balkans, South Caucasus, and Central Asia, focused on Infrastructure, Procurement, Project Management (full service, back on track), HR and Transactional Services, Grants Management and Technical and Advisory Services. 

Uzbekistan Office

Under the purview of AUMCO, the UNOPS Uzbekistan Office, established in Tashkent in October 2022 supports the Government of Uzbekistan’s development efforts in the country, through the provision of effective project management, infrastructure and procurement services. At present, the office has signed and has been implementing three engagements contributing to SGD3 (Good Health and Wellbeing), while actively working with the Government of Uzbekistan and development partners in diversifying its portfolio in line with the country’s development priorities including education.

Project Information

The UNOPS Uzbekistan Project Office currently has two ongoing projects both of which are major contributions to SDG3 (Good Health and Wellbeing). 

The first project, “Support to Development of Oncology Services in Uzbekistan” is funded through a major loan from the Islamic Development Bank. UNOPS will support the Government of Uzbekistan in strengthening the preparedness of its national healthcare system and preventing and treating oncological cases in an effective and timely manner. By identifying, procuring, delivering, and operationalizing urgently needed medical, laboratory, radiological, and ICT equipment, the project will significantly contribute to improved access and quality healthcare services for local communities in 14 regional locations including Tashkent and throughout the country.

The second project, “Uzbekistan COVID-19 Emergency Response Project” with the Republic of Uzbekistan's Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare and Public Health Service (SES) is funded through two major loans from the Asian Development Bank and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. In this project, UNOPS will support the Government of Uzbekistan to upgrade up to 38 existing laboratories and treatment facilities across the country, procure diagnostic equipment and supplies, and establish an ICT system for monitoring the epidemiological situation to strengthen preparedness and resilience to the COVID-19 pandemic and other epidemics.

 

Under the project “Improving Healthcare in Kashkadarya Region: Delivering Infrastructure Design for New Hospitals in Karshi and Beshkent Cities” signed with the Government of Uzbekistan, UNOPS is responsible for the management of the project and delivery of the infrastructure design of two new hospitals in the Kashkadarya Region, Uzbekistan. The design of two new hospitals is a step towards the Government’s ambitious healthcare reform agenda, aimed at providing improved access to quality healthcare to the people of Uzbekistan. The project is close to the construction phase and aligned with the government’s priorities under its far-reaching reform agenda with an overall objective for Uzbekistan to improve the health of the whole population through universal health coverage.
