UNITAR has been adapting its methodologies and approaches to reflect the changing times and address the ever-evolving needs of participants in order to empower leaders of the futures.
The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) was born in 1963, in a moment of hope for international collaboration and human progress. In this period of hope, ambition and transition, UNITAR came together with “the unique purpose of enhancing the effectiveness of the United Nations itself” through training and research.
Today, UNITAR’s learners come from all 193 UN Member States, benefiting from the diverse range of learning programmes which aim to help individuals and organizations achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
