Services rendered to UNESCO by National Commissions
 
     
 
1.

In each Member State, the National Commission ensures the permanent presence of UNESCO in its country and contributes to the Organization’s effort to promote international co-operation in the field of intellectual activities.

 
         
 
2.

National Commissions are important sources of information for UNESCO on national requirements and priorities in regard to education, science, culture and information, thereby enabling the Organization to take Member States’ requirements more fully into account when preparing its programmes. They also contribute to the Organization’s standard-setting work and to the orientation or execution of its programme by making their views known when surveys or inquiries are carried out and by replying to questionnaires.

 
       
 
3.
National Commissions disseminate information:
 
   
(a)

To the mass media and the general public, on UNESCO’s objectives, programmes and activities;

 
    (b) To individuals and institutions concerned with any aspect of UNESCO’s work  
         
 
4.
National Commissions must be able to contribute effectively to the
implementation of UNESCO’s programme:
 
   
(a)
By mobilizing on its behalf the assistance and support of the country’s specialized communities;
 
   
(b)
By assuming operational responsibility for some of UNESCO’s            programme activities.
