Q50. Consider the following infrastructure sectors:
1. Affordable housing
2. Mass rapid transport
3. Health care
4. Renewable energy
On how many of the above does UNOPS Sustainable Investments in Infrastructure and Innovation (S3i) initiative focus for its investments?
Detailed Solution
The UNOPS (United Nations Office for Project Services) Sustainable Investments in Infrastructure and Innovation (S3i) initiative was established to enhance and accelerate investments in sustainable infrastructure. According to its mandate, the S3i initiative focuses on three core areas for its investments: 1.
Affordable housing: This is a direct focus area (Statement 1). 2. Mass rapid transport: This sector is not explicitly listed as one of the three core focus areas for S3i investments.
3. Health care: Specifically, health infrastructure is a key focus area (Statement 3). 4. Renewable energy: This is also a direct focus area (Statement 4). Therefore, three of the listed infrastructure sectors (Affordable housing, Health care, and Renewable energy) are focus areas for the UNOPS S3i initiative.
This question tests awareness of international development initiatives and their specific investment priorities.
