Its leadership and support have helped to mainstream these fi ve core areas into national policies and programmes.Over the years, UNESCO has become a reliable partner for both the government and a great number of civil society organizations to assist in strategy and policy development in education, natural sciences, culture, and communication and information. The Kathmandu Offi ce works mostly at the upstream level and focuses on selected target areas and population groups implementing UNESCO’s main functions as a laboratory of ideas, a standard-setter, a clearing house, a capacity builder and a catalyst for international cooperation.
