The World Federation of UN Associations (WFUNA) is a global nonprofit organization representing and coordinating a membership of over 100 national United Nations Associations (UNAs) and their thousands of constituents. Based at the United Nations in New York and in Geneva, we are the largest international network of people supporting and engaging with the United Nations.
Guided by our vision of a United Nations that is a powerful force in meeting common global challenges and opportunities, WFUNA is a civil society organization that works to strengthen and improve the United Nations. We achieve this through the engagement of people who share a global mindset and support international cooperation – global citizens.
The WFUNA Secretariat is currently led by Secretary-General Aziel Philippos Goulandris and his staff in New York, Geneva, and Seoul. The President of WFUNA is Dr. Shawn Chen, entrepreneur with a focus on education.
WFUNA's programmatic areas cover the three pillars of the United Nations:
- Peace & Security
- Sustainable Development
- Human Rights
