Field Offices and Institutes
Decentralization, mainly through field offices, is one of the principal means to increase its effectiveness in its Member States and Associate Members. UNESCO's FIELD network consists of cluster offices, national offices, regional bureaux and liaison offices in Africa, Arab States, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and Europe. Their role is to coordinate the work of the Organization at the regional level.

UNESCO has established over the course of its history a number of institutional and contractual relations in its fields of competence with various institutes and centres. These institutions are established by or integrated into the Organization, are directed by a UNESCO staff member and apply UNESCO's rules and regulations.
