Five areas. One system
Our work is organized around five focus areas – the UN's three pillars and two functional areas that run across everything we do.
Peace & Security

We strengthen analytical and operational capacities to support more coherent, evidence-informed and people-centred approaches.

Human Rights

We equip UN personnel and partners with the knowledge, skills and tools to act collaboratively and effectively, turning shared principles into practical action at country level.

Sustainable Development

We work across mandates and geographies to create the conditions for coherent, collaborative action, enabling Member States to maintain commitments and deliver results for people and planet.

Leadership & Management

We work across the United Nations (UN) system to build the cohesive, adaptive leadership culture needed to deliver on Member State priorities.

Change & Transformation

We empower people, teams and organisations to lead transformation, adapt to change and deliver impact where it matters most

From our learners and partners
Lucrezia Ducci
Research, Assessments & Monitoring Officer, JPO

The JPO Orientation Programme has been an incredible journey, equipping us with a clearer vision of the UN’s mission and how we can make a meaningful impact within our sphere of influence. It was both realistic and empowering, shedding light on the challenges ahead while providing us with the tools and knowledge to navigate them successfully. A huge thank you to the UNSSC team for this transformative experience.

Gilles Baltrusaitis
Chief, Business Support Section, United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund (UNJSPF)

We have invested in our change management capacity through [UNSSC-provided] training, manager support, and a network of volunteer Culture Champions, driving staff overall agreement rates up from 57% to 83%. In 2025, the Pension Administration also requested a more tailored survey to zoom in on our specific needs, and UNSSC mirrored this focus by flexibly accommodating and adapting their solutions to our requirements.

Gabriel Tuan
Manager, Learning and Development, UN Women

This forum (Learning Managers’ Forum) has been a long standing and invaluable network for the learning community for over 25 years. [...] the forum has become not just a place for learning managers to come together but has emerged as a place where the entire UN learning community is an open, thriving virtual community where a request, need, or connection is responded to within minutes. I am thankful and happy to be a part of this community, which continues to play a pivotal role in supporting learning for the entire UN community as we strive to fulfil our global mandate to create a better world for all.
