Our Strategic Plan 2026 to 2029
At the New Zealand National Commission for UNESCO our work is guided by the key themes identified in our Strategic Plan.
We develop our Strategic Plan every three years, informed by UNESCO’s objectives and global priorities, but tailored to the New Zealand context.
The key themes that we outline on this website are taken from our 2026 to 2029 Strategic Plan.
