UNITAR designed a 5-day field visit to Dubai, offering participants a full immersion into the United Nations' Humanitarian working environment.
In line with UNITAR’s mandate, the programme’s main purpose is to strengthen participants’ understanding of humanitarian action, innovation, and sustainable development in a rapidly evolving global context. The programme aims to showcase how innovation is transforming the delivery of humanitarian aid and international cooperation.
UNITAR further intends to strengthen the participants’ conviction of the principles enshrined in the UN Charter, especially multilateralism. It lastly aspires to give its participants access to UN institutions and personnel in order to gain valuable insights into future career opportunities.

The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) was established in 1963 as an autonomous body within the United Nations with the purpose of enhancing the effectiveness of the work of the UN and its member states.
UNITAR designs and conducts close to 500 different training and knowledge sharing events per year for some 50,000 beneficiaries worldwide. Participants include diplomats, other government officials, non-governmental representatives, and other stakeholders.
At the heart of UNITAR, the Multilateral Diplomacy Programme Unit (MDPU) delivers training workshops to address the needs of these international actors. MDPU’s activities cover a wide range of domains, including training on the UN system and skills development.
