UNESCO is the only UN agency to have a system of National Commissions in all Member and Associate States. The NACs of UNESCO are composed of eminent members of the intellectual and scientific communities in each country and form the essential link between those communities and UNESCO, helping Member States to take maximum advantage of their adhesion to the organisation. Some 330 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) maintain official relations with UNESCO and hundreds more work with the organisation on specific projects. The NACs organise their own activities, disseminate information through the publication of books and documents in local languages and participate actively in the elaboration and execution of UNESCO’s programmes. In addition, regular meetings organised between the Secretaries General of National Commissions at sub-regional, regional and intra-regional level serve to keep UNESCO and the international community informed on local as well as global needs and aspirations.
