    Ongoing

    The UNU-CPR Geneva Office was established in June 2022 with the generous support of the Swiss Government. The Geneva Office helps to expand UNU-CPR’s support across the UN system, collaborate with the full range of policy actors in Geneva International, and help to bridge the policy ecosystems in Geneva and New York. The Geneva Office is able to draw from the expertise of the broader UNU-CPR team in New York, while also partnering with the wide range of policy actors in Geneva and beyond.

    Partnerships

    UNU-CPR’s Geneva-based work benefits from a broad range of partnerships, including with the Executive Office of the Secretary-General, UNIDIR, IOM, UN Foundation, The Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime, Plataforma CIPÓ, Migration for Development and Equality (MIDEQ), adelphi, and the Effectiveness of Peace Operations Network. Over the coming period, the Geneva Office will be looking to broaden its collaborations with other policy actors in the Geneva ecosystem and contribute to the vibrant community in Geneva International.
