UNESCO Ramallah

UNESCO's office in Ramallah was established in 1997, initially as a liaison office. At its inception, it dealt with Education and Culture in Palestine. Over time, it also began to incorporate Communication and Information activities. Now designated as a National Office, UNESCO's work in Palestine represents a sustained effort in international cooperation to support the Palestinian people in the main areas of UNESCO’s competence. From promoting the rights to education and freedom of expression, to safeguarding cultural and natural heritage sites, the wide range of projects and activities are designed to have an impact on the largest number of beneficiaries possible.
