About UIA

The Union of International Associations (UIA) was founded in 1907 to collect data about various international organisations. The UIA aims to facilitate understanding between nations through non-governmental (NGO) and intergovernmental (IGO) collaborations by disseminating knowledge. Its services include providing detailed descriptions and information on upcoming events and promoting the exchange of ideas across borders to facilitate international cooperation.

This organisation is a pivotal tool for comprehending and addressing issues transcending national boundaries, and it remains essential in pursuing better global governance practices.
