General

UNYANET has the aim to enhance the network by facilitating the process of developing projects, the exchange of knowledge, resources and experience and the development of a common identity among member associations. This shall be achieved, on one hand, by regular meetings of the member associations, on the other hand by projects carried out by different working groups of UNYANET. Furthermore, UNYANET shall facilitate the cooperation between its member associations, the United Nations and other international organizations, institutions and supporters by providing a common contact point for various topics including cooperation requests, project proposals etc. Another important aim is to provide assistance to groups, willing to establish a UNYA in their country. At the moment, UNYANET has 10 member associations and 3 observers, with altogether 57 local branches and approximately 14000 individual members. UNYANET currently assists in the establishment of 3 other UNYAs. Partners of UNYANET are the
