United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR)
The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) is a training arm of the United Nations System, serving close to 370,000 beneficiaries annually by conducting more than 1,000 training and research activities worldwide.
The Mission of UNITAR is to develop capacities to enhance global decision-making and to support country-level action for shaping a better future in the thematic areas of Strengthen Multilateralism; Promote Economic Development and Social Inclusion; Advance Environmental Sustainability and Green Development; Promote Sustainable Peace; and Research and Technology Applications.
UNITAR’s work targets two key sets of stakeholders: the delegates to the UN and others who develop intergovernmental agreements, and the key national change agents who turn the global agreements into action.
