About the Country/Multi-Country Office

The Isthmus and Caribbean Multi-Country Office (ICMCO), based in Panama, oversees UNOPS operations in Panama, Costa Rica, and the English/Dutch Caribbean States. In Panama, UNOPS has supported national partners since 2009 through technical advisory services and the implementation of complex infrastructure, procurement, and project management initiatives—strengthening public sector efficiency and enhancing quality of life. In Costa Rica, UNOPS has collaborated with four successive administrations on 17 projects, consistently aligning with national priorities and legal frameworks. Key achievements include major transport and water infrastructure such as the Binational Bridge over the Sixaola River, multiple underpasses and bridges, aqueducts in Liberia and Nicoya, and the Circunvalación Norte highway.
