The United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) is an autonomous research institute within the UN system that undertakes multidisciplinary research and policy analysis on the social dimensions of contemporary development issues.
Through our work we aim to ensure that social equity, inclusion and justice are central to development thinking, policy and practice.
UNRISD was established in 1963 as an autonomous space within the UN system for the conduct of policyrelevant, cuttingedge research on social development that is pertinent to the work of the United Nations Secretariat; regional commissions and specialized agencies; and national institutions.
