UNOPS chief to visit Honduras and Mexico focusing on sustainable development and climate

Jorge Moreira da Silva, Secretary-General of the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), is set to embark on a three-day visit starting in Honduras and continuing to Mexico. The trip, beginning Wednesday, June 11, 2026, aims to reaffirm UNOPS's support for key regional priorities, including sustainable development, economic transformation, and climate resilience.

In Honduras, Moreira da Silva is scheduled to meet with President Nasry 'Tito' Asfura and the head of Parliament, Tomás Zambrano. Accompanied by Dalila Gonçalves, UNOPS Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean, the delegation will engage in high-level discussions. UNOPS is currently collaborating with the Honduran Institute of Social Security and the Ministry of Health to enhance public health supply procurement processes and critical healthcare infrastructure, ensuring access to essential medicines and improving service quality.

Following his engagements in Honduras, Moreira da Silva will travel to Mexico. There, his agenda will focus on humanitarian assistance and urban development. UNOPS is a key player in a joint initiative with the federal government and six other UN agencies aimed at improving the inclusion, protection, and opportunities for migrants, asylum seekers, refugees, and returnees. The organization also provides technical assistance to Mexico for sustainable urban mobility projects and strengthening public transportation systems.
