The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) is a training arm of the United Nations system, serving some 36,000 beneficiaries annually by conducting close to 500 training and research activities around the world. 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 strengthening multilateralism; promoting economic development and social inclusion; advancing environmental sustainability and green development; promoting sustainable peace; and research and technology applications. Centered around the beneficiaries it serves, UNITAR’s work targets two key sets of stakeholders: the delegates to the UN and others who develop intergovernmental agreements establishing global norms, policies, and programmes, and the key national change agents who turn the global agreements into action. Headquartered in Geneva, 2 out-posted offices (New York - USA, Hiroshima - Japan).
