UNICs
This network of UN Information Centres (UNICs) is key to our ability to reach the peoples of the world in their own languages. UNICs work in coordination with the UN system reaching out to local media and educational institutions; engaging in partnerships with governments, local civil society organizations and the private sector; and maintaining libraries and electronic information resources.
By translating information materials into local languages, engaging opinion-makers and placing op-ed articles by senior UN officials in the national media, or organizing events to highlight issues or observances, the network of UNICs is one of the main vehicles through which we tell our story to the world.
UNICs give global messages a local accent and help bring the UN closer to the people it serves.
