UN Foundation Sample Clauses

UN Foundation. As a strategic partner of the United Nations, the United Nations Foundation has a unique position from which to affect change in larger UN processes and discussions. In general, our work is to build communities of support and nurture initiatives to advance the dignity and well-being of people and planet. This includes working behind-the- scenes, shaping negotiations and connecting experts, advocates, and decision-makers as well as driving public awareness and involvement through communications, campaigns, and events. Always we work to build collective action through the UN, the only place where everyone on earth can have a voice. UNF’s position as a trusted partner and advisor to UN agencies and member states puts it in a unique position to build broader support for action within the IMO. In addition, UNF has strong, long-term collaborative relationships with the UN Secretary-General’s team, the UN Special Envoy for the Ocean, the IPCC, UNFCCC, other key UN agencies, and U.S. and international media. These assets allow us to effectively partner with and complement ongoing efforts to increase climate ambition at the IMO. Over the past nine months, we have tested this proposition through hosting invitation-only briefings for UN member states, leading global efforts to reach out to key governments, engaging directly with multiple agencies in the U.S. and other capitals, and coordinating with the office of the UN Secretary-General, all in collaboration with other civil society efforts. UNF requires for our records an annual or final report by May 1, 2024, and interim reports as may be specified in a Grant Agreement. Each report must: i) describe in narrative fashion what was achieved with the grant funds; and ii) provide a full financial accounting of the grant funds.
