UN Foundation/UNA-USA Strategic Alliance

The UN Foundation / United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA-USA) Strategic Alliance works to build a broad base of citizen support for American multilateral engagement through UNA-USA’s 125 chapters and divisions across the U.S. For six decades, the mission of the UNA-USA and its chapters have been rooted in the founding principles of the United Nations: to inform, inspire and mobilize Americans to support the principles and vital work of the United Nations and to strengthen the United Nations system. UNA-USA’s education and Model UN programs help connect young people to the UN, while the Council of Organizations brings NGOs together, connecting them to the UN. The alliance announcement was made at the Global Leadership Dinner on November 18, 2010 in New York City.
