UNESCO Regional Office for Egypt and Sudan/Liaison Office for the League of Arab States

Established in 1947, the UNESCO Regional Office for Egypt and Sudan also serves as the Liaison Office for the League of Arab States. The office has a unique dual role and geographic constituency, covering two countries where UNESCO is actively involved. This unique positioning in contiguous territories enhances cooperation and fosters multiple synergies across various domains.
The office is dedicated to fostering peace and sustainable development through education, science, culture, and communication and information. Established in coordination with UNESCO Headquarters, the office serves as a hub for advancing UNESCO's mission in the region, particularly in the context of Egypt and Sudan's unique developmental, cultural, and educational landscapes.
