Welcome to the UNITAR CIFAL Jeju / Jeju International Training Center(JITC)

The UNITAR Jeju International Training Center (JITC) was established in 2010 by the agreement among the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and the International Peace Foundation (IPF) based in Korea.

UNITAR, as a dedicated training arm of the United Nations system, provides training and research activities mainly to developing countries. To contribute to its operation, 31 affiliated regional training centers (CIFAL Network) have been established and delivering trainings and capacity development sessions on a wide range of areas including environmental sustainability, social inclusion, economic development and peace, in line with UNITAR’s aims and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In particular, UNITAR CIFAL Jeju/JITC, as a sole UNITAR regional training center in Korea, has been recognized for its exemplary and active operation of diverse range of training programs. It has provided seminars, workshops and remote education to around 21,000 beneficiaries from countries in the Asia-Pacific region. JITC has also formed strategic and differentiated partnerships with cities and international organizations that share common principles and goals to contribute to the capacity building of developing countries.

Furthermore, CIFAL Jeju/JITC is dedicated to leveraging its capacity to contribute to enabling Jeju Island to be a global peace hub. It also supports Jeju Island to demonstrate its accumulated capacity as one of the leading actors in implementing the SDGs, while making efforts to discover and cultivate young talents for sustainable development. Through these efforts, we aim to solidify Jeju Island's standing as the center of Northeast Asian peace.

Your interest, support and participation will be highly appreciated in this journey.
