Established in 2022, the Saudi CIFAL Center is the result of a strategic will by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) to be present in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with a commitment to achieving tangible progress in development capabilities within the Kingdom. The center’s focus is on empowering and developing the executive capacities of individuals and institutions in the public and private sectors, as well as academic bodies and non-profit organizations, to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) provides innovative learning solutions to individuals, organizations and institutions to enhance global decision-making and support country-level action for shaping a better future. UNITAR was created in 1963 to train and equip young diplomats from newly-independent UN Member States with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate through the diplomatic environment. Over the years, UNITAR has acquired unique expertise and experience in designing and delivering a variety of training activities. We have become a leading institute in the provision of customized and creative learning solutions to institutions and individuals from both public and private sectors. With a strategy fully focused on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), UNITAR supports Governments to implement the 2030 Agenda.
