Core Diplomatic Training (CDT)

Together with the UNITAR New York Office, the Programme designs and delivers the Institute’s core diplomatic training (CDT), which is executive-style training provided to diplomats at major United Nations locations, so that they can perform effectively in a multilateral context. It covers training in international cooperation and multilateral diplomacy, aimed at enhancing the understanding of the United Nations system and its organs and procedures, strengthening the skills relevant to conferences and negotiations and supporting efforts to build a more effective multilateral system. 

The nature of training is “on the UN, for the UN, by the UN”. By definition, CDT implies training that is multilateral in character and offered in a multilateral context. All Member States and the United Nations, collectively, benefit from greater knowledge on how to perform effectively and take on leadership roles in the multilateral setting.

For more information on CDT workshops please download the CDT calendar on the right and read the course descriptions.
