For decades, innovators working in pockets across the UN system have used fresh approaches to tackle difficult challenges. Now, in a bid to use the power of innovation as part of the UN’s everyday work, the first system-wide Innovation Toolkit was released in late 2019 by the UN System Staff College (UNSSC).
Ahead of the Kit’s much anticipated unveiling, the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, encouraged staff to: “Be bold, be revolutionary…and disrupt…because without innovation, there is no way we can overcome the challenges of our time.”
