Intersectoral Platforms

The intersectoral and interdisciplinary dimensions of UNESCO’s action are reflected in the translation of the strategic programme objectives of UNESCO’s Medium-Term Strategy (document 34 C/4) into 12 Intersectoral platforms, which were launched during the 2008-2009 biennium. The intersectoral platforms are conceived as a modality to enhance the quality, coherence and relevance of UNESCO’s programme design and delivery. By delivering action in a concerted multi-sector manner, the Organization can capitalize on one of its principal comparative advantages in the multilateral system.

Moreover, the platforms provide a gateway for delivering as “One UNESCO” at the global, regional and country levels, working across sectoral frontiers, based on commonly defined objectives, jointly agreed strategies and platform-specific results.

Intersectoral platforms address contemporary issues in a problem-oriented, from either thematic or coordinating points of view. During 2010-2011, UNESCO will implement 12 intersectoral platforms that focus on key global challenges requiring an interdisciplinary approach through the combined action of its five major programmes: (education, natural sciences, social and human sciences, culture, communication and information).
