WHO WE ARE
Established in May 2021, UN-ANDI is a network of like-minded Asian staff members of the UN system who strive to promote a more diverse and inclusive culture and mindset within the UN.
Our mission is to work towards a culture in which inclusivity is integrated into all aspects of work and life in the Organization and diversity is the foundation of talent and productivity. We believe that we all have the power to stop discrimination, eliminate oppression and bring an end to ignorance and indifference. We stand against racial prejudice and intolerant attitudes and actions around the world and within the Organization. We strongly support all initiatives for promoting inclusion, justice, dignity, and combating racism and discrimination in all forms, inside and outside the United Nations.
