The Region looks to further support diaspora communities in London in whose home countries the UN and its agencies play a significant role by providing opportunities to debate the UN’s engagement.

We are part of the United Nations Association of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UNA-UK), representing a network of 23 branches in the London and Southeast region (London, Kent and West Sussex).

As a Region, we support UNA-UK’s overall efforts towards campaigning and educating to promote the principles of the UN Charter and supporting the work of the UN and its agencies.

Liaising with UNA-UK headquarters, we support branches in the region in playing a full part in promoting the UN in local communities; and facilitate their participation in UNA-UK’s national policy formulation.
