UNITAR is the first United Nations entity to establish a presence in the symbolic city of Hiroshima, in response to the desire of its people and authorities to contribute more actively to peace and development in the world.

The primary goal of the Hiroshima Office, established in 2003, is to design and implement executive type training and capacity development activities for specific constituencies including government officials, scholars and members of civil society based on the needs required in Asia.

In addition, the Office serves as a strategic base point of the Institute by supporting its overall activities, and by performing liaison functions with regional and national offices of other UN organizations, funds and agencies, diplomatic communities, as well as with partners in the research community and broader public and private sectors.

UNITAR Hiroshima also participates in the Institutes innovative research and capacity development methodologies, and contributes to its expanding knowledge management platform.
