2018 Asia-Pacific Regional Meeting of National Commissions for UNESCO
UNESCO is the only UN Agency to have a global network of cooperating national bodies — known as ‘National Commissions for UNESCO’ —that make part of the overall constitutional architecture of the Organisation. Set up by their respective governments in accordance to Article 7 of the UNESCO Constitution, the National Commissions (Natcoms) operate on a permanent basis for the purpose of associating their governmental and non-governmental bodies in education, sciences, culture and communication with the work of the Organisation.

Gyeongju: Yangdong Village ? S. Ricca/ 2018
Strong and effective National Commissions are an invaluable asset to UNESCO in promoting UNESCO’s visibility on a national level. Acting as agencies of consultation, liaison and information, and mobilising and coordinating partnerships with national partners, the National Commissions also make substantial contributions in the advancement of UNESCO’s objectives, and in the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals within each Member State. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the international community in 2015, gave UNESCO a clear mandate in its fields of competence to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and imposes a global revision of the activity of the National Commissions.
