AOnly one
BOnly two
COnly three
DAll four
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Only three
Answer: C. The UNOPS S3i initiative focuses on three of the four sectors (affordable housing, health care, renewable energy). The Sustainable Investments in Infrastructure and Innovation (S3i) is a United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) programme launched in 2018 to mobilize private capital into Sustainable Development Goal-aligned infrastructure. The three focus sectors are: (1) Affordable housing: YES — addressing global housing shortage in developing countries. (2) Mass rapid transport: NOT a S3i focus. Transport infrastructure is handled by other UN/MDB programmes. (3) Health care: YES — including hospitals, clinics, health worker accommodation. (4) Renewable energy: YES — solar, wind, biomass projects, particularly in low-income countries. So three of the four (1, 3, 4).
