CAF-UNITAR Alliance

   

The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) is the main training and capacity-building arm of the United Nations to improve global decision-making and support country action to shape A better future. Pursuant to General Assembly resolution 1934 (XVIII) of December 11, 1963 and resolution 42/197 of December 11, 1987, UNITAR was created to train diplomats, UN personnel and permanent missions to the UN with the necessary knowledge and skills in the diplomatic career to guarantee the effectiveness of the United Nations. ​

UNITAR's New York Office is dedicated to fulfilling its small part in the larger United Nations mandate. To this end, the New York Office aims to equip members of this community with the ability to navigate and contribute to the United Nations more broadly. It also focuses on the needs of delegates from developing and least developed countries, providing them with the necessary knowledge and skills to operate effectively within the United Nations system.​
