UNITAR provides innovative learning solutions to individuals, organizations, and institutions to enhance decision-making and support country-level action for shaping a better future. The Swiss company works to establish peaceful, just, and inclusive societies through enabling individuals, institutions, and organizations to contribute meaningfully to sustainable peace. The company's thematic portfolio includes areas such as conflict prevention, negotiation, mediation and reconciliation, restoration of the rule of law, preventing and countering violent extremism, youth and women empowerment, as well as enhancing the peacemaking capacities of minorities, indigenous peoples’ representatives, and those who often face marginalization to “leave no one behind.” Additionally, UNITAR has implemented the Autosobriety program in countries such as South Africa and the Dominican Republic, with the aim of reducing injuries and deaths related to drunk driving. The company plans to implement the program globally, especially in countries where reducing alcohol-related road accidents is a priority.
