UIA's projects represent temporary endeavours, undertaken to create a specific product or service. Sometimes they are run soley by the UIA, but often we collaborate with one or more partners with specific expertise in the field of civil society and international organizations. Below are the titles and descriptions of some of our main projects, both past and present. All of our projects are undertaken in accordance with our mission values, outlined in our aims and objectives .
