Training to sustain human development

UNITAR's mission is to deliver innovative training and conduct research on knowledge systems to develop the capacity of beneficiaries.

By virtue of the resonance of its location, the Hiroshima Office has an inherent strength in the areas of post-conflict reconstruction as well as the broader themes of international peace and security. These notions continue to evolve, demanding a comprehensive approach incorporating the ideals of human security including community, economic, environmental, food, health, personal and political security.

The Office also serves a strategic role for the Institute by supporting its overall activities, and 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. In addition, it supports the Institutes goal of research on knowledge systems, exploring innovative and modern approaches for high-quality training, with the goal of being a centre of excellence, measured by international standards.

"Building on our experience, we optimize expertise, information and knowledge-sharing to achieve this mission."
