 U.N.O.(United
Nations Organization)
• The United Nations (UN) is an 
intergovernmental organization that
aims to maintain international peace
 and security, develop friendly relations
among nations, achieve international
cooperation, and be a center for
harmonizing the actions of nations. It is
the largest, most familiar, most
internationally represented and most
powerful intergovernmental
organization in the world. The UN is 
headquartered on international territory
 in New York City, with its other main
offices in Geneva, Nairobi, Vienna and 
The Hague.
• The UN was established after 
World War II with the aim of preventing
future wars, succeeding the ineffective 
League of Nations. On 25 April 1945, 50
governments met in San Francisco for 
a conference and started drafting the 
UN Charter, which was adopted on 25
June 1945 and took effect on 24
October 1945, when the UN began
operations. Pursuant to the Charter, the
organization's objectives include
maintaining international peace and
security, protecting human rights,
delivering humanitarian aid, promoting 
sustainable development, and
upholding international law.At its
founding, the UN had 51 member states
; with the addition of South Sudan in
2011, membership is now 193,
representing almost all of the world's 
sovereign states.
• The organization's mission to preserve world peace was
complicated in its early decades by the Cold War
 between the United States and Soviet Union and their
respective allies. Its missions have consisted primarily of
unarmed military observers and lightly armed troops
with primarily monitoring, reporting and confidence-
building roles.[6] UN membership grew significantly
following widespread decolonization beginning in the
1960s. Since then, 80 former colonies have gained
independence, including 11 trust territories that had
been monitored by the Trusteeship Council. By the
1970s, the UN's budget for economic and social
development programes far outstripped its spending on 
peacekeeping. After the end of the Cold War, the UN
shifted and expanded its field operations, undertaking a
wide variety of complex tasks.
• The UN has six principal organs: the 
General Assembly; the 
Security Council; the 
Economic and Social Council
 (ECOSOC); the Trusteeship Council;
the International Court of Justice;
and the UN Secretariat. The 
UN System includes a multitude of 
specialized agencies, such as the 
World Bank Group, the 
World Health Organization, the 
World Food Programme, UNESCO,
and UNICEF. Additionally, 
non-governmental organizations
 may be granted consultative status
with ECOSOC and other agencies to
participate in the UN's work.
• The UN's chief administrative officer
is the Secretary-General, currently
Portuguese politician and diplomat 
António Guterres, who began his
five year-term on 1 January 2017.
The organization is financed by
assessed and voluntary
contributions from its member
states.
• The UN, its officers, and its
agencies have won many 
Nobel Peace Prizes, though

U.N.O. contributions
• 1. Maintaining Peace and Security
By sending 69 peacekeeping and observer
missions to the world’s trouble spots over
the past six decades, the United Nations has
been able to restore calm, allowing many
countries to recover from conflict. 
2. Making Peace       
UN preventive diplomacy and other forms of
preventive action have defused many
potential conflicts. In addition, 11 UN
peace missions in the field address post-
conflict situations and carry out
peacebuilding measures.
• 3. Consolidating peace
• The United Nations Peacebuilding
Commission supports peace efforts in
countries emerging from conflict. It
brings together international donors,
international financial institutions,
governments and troop-contributing
countries, helps marshal resources, and
proposes actions for peacebuilding and
recovery. 
• 4. Preventing Nuclear Proliferation
• For over five decades, the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has served as
the world’s nuclear inspector. IAEA experts
work to verify that safeguarded nuclear
material is used only for peaceful purposes.
• 5. Clearing Landmines
• The United Nations helps to clear landmines
in some 30 countries or territories, including
Afghanistan, Colombia, the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, Libya and the Sudan.
• 6. Fighting Hunger
• The Food and Agriculture Organization of the
UN (FAO) leads global efforts to defeat hunger.
The goal of universal food security —where
people everywhere have regular access to
enough high-quality food to lead active,
healthy lives—is at the heart of its work. 
W.H.O.(World Health
Organization)
• WHO began when our Constitution came into force on 7 April 1948 – a date
we now celebrate every year as World Health Day.
• We are now more than 7000 people working in 150 country offices, in six
regional offices and at our headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
• Our primary role is to direct and coordinate international health within the
United Nations system.
• Our main areas of work are health systems; health through the life-course;
noncommunicable and communicable diseases; preparedness, surveillance
and response; and corporate services.
• We support countries as they coordinate the efforts of governments and
partners – including bi- and multilaterals, funds and foundations, civil
society organizations and the private sector.
• Working together, we attain health objectives by supporting national health
policies and strategies.

Contributions
• WHO has adopted a two-track approach
regarding its contributions to the World
Summit on Sustainable Development.
Track one focuses on the overall, long-
term benefits for social, economic, and
environmental development that result
from investment in people's health. Track
two reflects the health aspects of specific
issues on the Summit agenda
• Key emphases include:
• The positive impact of health both as a
good in its own right and as a means of
advancing economic development and
poverty reduction.
• The direct impact of environmental
degradation and unsustainable use of
natural resources on people's health, as
well as the indirect impact on the
livelihoods (and, therefore, health) of the
poor. The need to assess the impact on
people's health of development policies
and practices.
• The importance of partnerships and
alliances as a means of addressing threats
to health and promoting sustainable
• WHO fulfils its objectives through its
core functions:
• providing leadership on matters
critical to health and engaging in
partnerships where joint action is
needed;
• shaping the research agenda and
stimulating the generation,
translation and dissemination of
valuable knowledge;
• setting norms and standards and
promoting and monitoring their
implementation;
• articulating ethical and evidence-
based policy options;
• providing technical support,
catalysing change, and building
sustainable institutional capacity;
and

UNICHEF
• UNICEF, or the United Nations Children's Fund is a United Nations agency
responsible for providing humanitarian and developmental aid to children
worldwide.U.N. headquarters is based in New York City, it is among the most
widespread and recognizable social welfare organizations in the world, with a
presence in 192 countries and territories. UNICEF's activities include
immunizations and disease prevention, administering treatment for children and
mothers with HIV, enhancing childhood and maternal nutrition, improving
sanitation, promoting education, and providing emergency relief in response to
disasters.
• UNICEF is the successor of the International Children’s Emergency Fund (ICEF),
created in 1946 by the U.N. Relief Rehabilitation Administration to provide
immediate relief to children and mothers affected by World War II. The same year,
the U.N. General Assembly established the United Nations International
Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) to further institutionalize post-war relief
work. In 1950, UNICEF's mandate was extended to address the long-term needs
of children and women, particularly in developing countries. In 1953, the
organization became a permanent part of the United Nations System, and its
name was subsequently changed to its current form, though it retains the original
acronym.

UNICEF Contribution
• As an international, intergovernmental child rights agency, UNICEF
holds a unique position at national and international levels. Some of
the contributions that UNICEF can make to a partnership with a CSO
include:
• Convening power – UNICEF works closely with a number of
stakeholders, including governments, private actors and civil society.
UNICEF uses this unique position to convene both public and non-
public stakeholders around children’s rights issues at the local, national
and global levels. 

• Global reach and country presence – With a strong presence in 190

countries, UNICEF is an influential actor both globally and nationally.
Using its capacity on the ground, UNICEF can foster greater alignment
between global initiatives and national development strategies, acting
as a conduit between local and national actors and global
policymaking processes.
• Technical expertise and efficient
procurement – UNICEF has the
capacity to leverage the strategic
funding priorities of global
programe funds, donors and
governments in favour of child-
related outcomes. Through
partnering with UNICEF, many CSOs
have benefited from its technical
expertise in matching local work to
international priorities, preparing
high-quality funding proposals and
procuring resources.

• Capacity development – Many CSOs

have found that their partnership
with UNICEF has increased their
capacity to advocate for children’s
rights and achieve results. UNICEF
helps to strengthen CSO capacity to
carry out work for children, which
contributes to the sustainability of
progress for children over time and
broadens ownership of the
development process.
• Making innovations accessible – UNICEF seeks to identify and scale up delivery
of innovative life-saving interventions, including through the use of new
technologies.

• Catalysing behaviour and policy change – Civil society partners have stressed
that UNICEF makes a crucial difference by advocating for the development of
policies and mechanisms that protect child rights and by raising public awareness
around children’s issues.

• Financial support – Through project cooperation agreements and small-scale

funding agreements with CSOs, UNICEF can provide financial support for
programe-related costs of the partnership.
UNESCO
• The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO;
French: Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture) is
a specialised agency of the United Nations (UN) aimed at promoting world peace
and security through international cooperation in education, the sciences, and
culture. It has 193 member states and 11 associate members, as well as partners
in the nongovernmental, intergovernmental, and private sector. Headquartered
in Paris, France, UNESCO has 53 regional field offices and 199 national
commissions that facilitate its global mandate.
• As a focal point for world culture and science, UNESCO's activities have
broadened over the years to include assisting in the translating and disseminating
of world literature, establishing international cooperation agreements to secure 
World Heritage Sites of cultural and natural importance, defending human rights,
bridging the worldwide digital divide, and creating inclusive knowledge societies
through information and communication.[10] UNESCO has launched several
initiatives and global movements, such as Education For All, to further advance its
core objectives.

• UNESCO’s educational objectives are
to:
• support the achievement of
Education for All (EFA);
• provide global and regional
leadership in education;
• strengthen education systems
worldwide from early childhood to
the adult years; and
• respond to contemporary global
challenges through education.
• The Organization focusses on
increasing equity and access,
improving quality, and ensuring that
