On 9–10 February 2026, the United Nations Global Service Centre (UNGSC) brought together 160 participants from 15 field missions and Headquarters to shape the next phase of the Field Remote Infrastructure Monitoring (FRIM) programme.
Over recent years, FRIM has expanded across UN missions, using connected sensors to monitor generators, fuel systems, water networks, and environmental infrastructure. This has created a reliable, mission-wide picture of how critical assets perform in real time.
The focus of the workshop was to define how this information can more systematically support operational and managerial decisions.
