Exchange perspectives across regions and sectors

In line with UNIEF's governance framework, the Annual Forum also serves as the official General Assembly, where:

Institutional updates are presented
Key decisions are discussed.
Leadership elections are conducted when scheduled

The UNIEF Annual Forum is designed to be flexible and inclusive.

It may be hosted in different international locations, such as Dubai, Geneva, or other global hubs.
Depending on circumstances and participation needs, the Forum may take place:

online
or in a hybrid format, combining physical and virtual participation

This flexibility ensures broad participation while maintaining formal governance and dialogue functions.
