Technical Assistance for the Implementation of the
Comprehensive and Resilient Infrastructure Reconstruction Emergency Program
(PROERI)
ABOUT PROERI
PROERI is an ambitious Government of Costa Rica program aimed at improving the quality of life of more than 2 million people through the comprehensive reconstruction of safe, resilient, and accessible public infrastructure.
Thanks to a USD 700 million loan granted by the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI), PROERI will intervene in more than 400 public infrastructure works declared under imminent risk or emergency status, including bridges, roads, educational centers, and housing, among others, affected by Tropical Storm Bonnie, the Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone, and Hurricane Julia.
Due to its scale, this Government of Costa Rica initiative involves five public institutions: the National Emergency Commission (CNE), the National Road Council (CONAVI), the Ministry of Public Education (MEP), the Ministry of Housing and Human Settlements (MIVAH), and the Costa Rican Railways Institute (INCOFER).
UNOPS’ ROLE
UNOPS acts as a strategic partner of PROERI, providing technical assistance to the institutions involved in the programme in order to strengthen the efficiency, effectiveness and transparency of project implementation.
The effective implementation of PROERI requires a centralized process for the integration and coordination of activities and efforts. To support this, UNOPS established the Programme Management Office, a multidisciplinary team that provides cross-cutting support in key areas such as strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation, financial and administrative management, quality assurance, risk management, HSSE, communications, social management and GEDI, resilience and sustainability, data visualization and technological tools, as well as capacity building.
In addition, UNOPS provides specialized technical support in the preparation of bidding documents and tender specifications, works monitoring, review and development of technical documentation, and quality control of projects.
This support promotes a people-centered management approach, with an emphasis on planning, responsible use of resources, and the delivery of sustainable results.

SDGs TO WHICH IT CONTRIBUTES
MONITORING AND TRANSPARENCY
PROERI procurement processes carried out under the emergency modality (CNE) are published through the Integrated Public Procurement System (SICOP). Meanwhile, for imminent risk projects (MOPT-CONAVI, MEP, INCOFER, and MIVAH), E-PROERI was developed as a platform to manage public procurement processes more efficiently and transparently in compliance with CABEI standards and policies.
