Patronage

Patronage

  • Patronage UNESCO’s highest form of support. It is granted to demostrate the Organization’s moral endorsement of an exceptional activity. However, UNESCO is neither financially nor legally responsible.

  • UNESCO’s patronage may be granted to a range of activities, such as producing cinematographic and audiovisual works, publishing books, organizing congresses, meetings and conferences, awarding prizes, and other national and international events.

  • Patronage must be limited in time. It may be granted to one-off or regularly repeated activities. In the latter case, a new request for authorization is required for each repeated activity.

  • Patronage cannot be granted to:
    - personalities
    - organizations
    - permanent activities
    - activities/projects that are evolving continuously (the terms of use of UNESCO’s name and logo for such activities/projects should be specified by a Contractual Arrangement)

  • There are two levels for UNESCO’s patronage:
    - Patronage granted by the National Commission for UNESCO for activities of national scope;
    - Patronage granted by the Director-General of UNESCO for activities of significant international scope.

  • In order to deal with requests for the use of UNESCO’s name and logo effectively, UNESCO has appointed a member of staff in each of its programme sectors to act as a Focal Point to coordinate the use of the name and logo and to act as your point of contact.

  • There are seven steps to requesting the use of UNESCO’s name and logo under patronage.
