The United Nations Peacebuilding Support Office in Guinea-Bissau (UNOGBIS) was established by the United Nations Security Council in its Resolution 1233 in April 1999 to facilitate the general election and implementation of the Abuja Accord.^[1]

This followed a ceasefire agreement signed in Praia on 26 August 1998^[2] reaffirmed on 1 November (known as the Abuja Accord) with the promise of elections^[3] with an additional protocol arranging for a government of national unity signed on 15 December^[4] and strengthened by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1216.^[5] The agreement was overseen by ECOMOG and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

The mandate of UNOGBIS was extended following the 1999 elections into the post-electoral period.^[6]

There have been numerous reports submitted and meetings of the United Nations Security Council over the years.

The mandate of UNOGBIS was extended and revised in 2004.^[7]

Concerns relating to drug trafficking from Latin America were raised^[8] as well as financial stability.^[9]

It was replaced by the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau (UNIOGBIS) in 2009.
