It does not attempt to provide to “devote its work to research into the pressing global an exhaustive inventory of the University’s operations problems of human survival, development and welfare and accomplishments, but rather offers an overview that are the concern of the United Nations and its of the thematic and geographic scope of UNU’s work. agencies”. As both a research-focused university — Because the current research programme of UNU is with the academic freedom that entails — and a think closely aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable tank within the UN system, UNU is uniquely positioned Development, the year’s activities are presented to show to provide objective, evidence-based research that their alignment with the 17 Sustainable Development inspires confidence among high-level policymakers Goals. and contributes to today’s most important policy This report also presents three feature articles as discussions. well as an organisation overview, including a five-year UNU serves as a bridge between the UN system retrospective on efforts to implement the priorities of and worldwide learning and research communities, the UNU Strategic Plan 2015–2019. particularly in the developing world.

After an expert study and further deliberation, the General Assembly formally adopted the UNU Charter in 1973, and in 1975 UNU launched its activities as a think tank for the United Nations system. Throughout its lifespan, UNU has produced research with strong academic and scientific value linked to the United Nations’ objectives. Over time, however, the focus of UNU’s activities had shifted increasingly towards academia, and away from the generation of policy-relevant knowledge as envisioned by the Charter. When I joined UNU as Rector in 2013, I undertook, at the request of then-United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, a critical reappraisal of the University’s priorities with the aim of reorienting UNU’s efforts to better serve the policy needs of the United Nations system. With the support of the UNU Council, I initiated a University-wide discussion that culminated in the vision laid out in the UNU Strategic Plan 2015—2019 — a vision we believed would ensure that UNU research occupies a meaningful place in UN policymakers’ toolkits and informs UN decision-making on key issues. As 2019 marked the fifth and final year of the UNU Strategic Plan 2015—2019, this report includes a section that looks back at UNU’s accomplishments over the past five years. The report also highlights last year’s activities and successes, and provides an overview of UNU’s structure, resources, and governance. This was also a notable year in that six new members joined UNU’s governing board, the UNU Council. I would like to heartily welcome the new Council members and offer my sincere thanks to the continuing and outgoing members for their dedication and support. In closing, I would like to extend special thanks to UNU’s host governments and donors, to our collaborators within the UN system and among the global academic and research communities, and to all UNU personnel around the world. Without your support, UNU’s success in delivering relevant, authoritative research and policy advice within and beyond the United Nations system would not be possible. Warm thanks also to all of you who attend UNU events, take our training courses, browse our websites, follow us on social media, and read our publications. All of us in the UNU family are grateful for your continuing interest and support. David M. Malone Rector of the United Nations University Under–Secretary–General of the United Nations 4 Features UNU takes an interdisciplinary, holistic approach to research on pressing global problems. UNU generates knowledge to support an evidence–based rethinking of policies by providing decision–makers with fresh perspectives on important policy issues and proactive analyses of emerging concerns. To better highlight UNU’s people, approach, and outputs, this section offers examples of the University’s work on three important global issues: modern slavery, climate change, and gender and health.

  • Lessons Learned Developing a Massive Open Online Course in Implementation Research in Infectious Diseases of Poverty in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
    Open Praxis, vol. 13 issue 1, January–March 2021, pp. 127–137 (ISSN 2304-070X) Lessons learned developing a massive open online course in implementation research in infectious diseases of poverty in low- and middle-income countries Pascale Allotey United Nations University (Malaysia) [email protected] Daniel Reidpath ICDDRB (Bangladesh) [email protected] Edith Certain , Mahnaz Vahedi , Dermot Maher & Pascal Launois WHO (Switzerland) [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] & [email protected] Bella Ross Monash University (Australia) [email protected] Abstract This study uses a case study approach to examine the development of a massive open online course (MOOC) on intervention and implementation research in infectious diseases of poverty for learners in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs). Implementation research (IR) seeks to understand and address barriers to effective implementation of health interventions, strategies, and policies. In recent years, IR has attracted increased interest, and corresponding demand for training, however, current training opportunities are not easily accessible to learners in LMICs. In 2017, the MOOC was introduced to a diverse range of learners to enhance access to training materials and has been offered yearly since. Findings are based on the experiences of the MOOC working group which included developers and facilitators, and on interpretations of data such as forum discussion activity and Facebook posts. The use of material from local contexts and in local languages, and professional facilitation of discussion forums was identified by the working group to be key considerations in developing the MOOC. Other findings include the importance of using clear instructions and preparing discussion questions to stimulate learner engagement.

  • Domestic Violence in Australia
    Domestic Violence in Australia ANROWS’s response to the One in Three Campaign’s Supplementary Submission to the Senate’s Finance and Public Administration References Committee Australia’s National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety (ANROWS) appreciates the opportunity to respond to the supplementary submission by the One in Three Campaign (One in Three) and in particular their comments about the verbal evidence I gave to the Committee. Before responding to the detailed comments, ANROWS would like to express concern about the supplementary submission and general approach taken by One in Three. In this submission and on their website One in Three have consistently used legitimate research such as the Personal Safety Survey (PSS) and National Community Attitudes Survey in a way that is false, misleading, incomplete or to make points the research was not designed to address. Whether this is intentionally misleading or the product of poor analysis, it creates confusion by implying legitimacy for many of One in Three’s claims that are not supported by evidence. An example on their website is about the claim there is “no credible research that supports the assertion that women are routinely falsifying claims of abuse to gain a tactical advantage” which they refute without reference to a single credibly study exploring the actual incidence of false allegations. Rather, they only cite research on the opinions of lawyers, magistrates and family law applicants, including one study that found only a small minority believe this to be the case. Further, One in Three’s fact sheet (p.23 of their submission) contains inappropriate use of the images, styling, graphics, font, colours and words from the Violence against women: key statistics infographics produced by ANROWS and Our Watch.1 It could be considered that this is an attempt by One in Three to associate ANROWS and Our Watch with messages that neither organisation have authorised or are likely to support.
