United Nations Institute for Training and Research
UNITAR is a UN training arm, established in 1963, delivering diplomacy, peace and development learning programmes and research worldwide, including through the CIFAL network.
The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) is a principal training arm of the United Nations. Established in 1963, with operations beginning in 1965, the Institute provides learning solutions and research intended to strengthen UN effectiveness, support global decision-making and bolster country-level action. Its work covers multilateral diplomacy, peace, social development, the environment, economic development and the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals - fields in which legal and diplomatic professionals are frequent participants.
UNITAR's original mandate was to train and equip young diplomats, and international relations and diplomacy training remains central to its remit. Programmes are delivered through in-person and event-based formats - workshops, seminars, briefings, conferences, public lectures and side events - as well as through online courses offered to individuals, organisations and institutions worldwide. Much of this activity is directed at bridging knowledge and skills gaps in developing countries and Least Developed Countries (LDCs).
Programmes are extended at local and regional level through the CIFAL network of training centres. UNITAR is headquartered in Geneva, with offices in New York, Hiroshima and Bonn, and works in every region of the world.
