Foreword by Audrey Azouley
Director-General of UNESCO
                                                                                     Paris, 2019

It is a great honour for UNESCO to host the 46th edition of the United Nations Inter-Agency Games
in Portugal's beautiful city of Lisbon, one of the oldest cities in Europe. It is very fitting that we
are holding the Games here in this historic city, as it was from this gateway of Europe that the
great explorers set out to discover new worlds. It was also from here through which generations of
immigrants have passed and bound our countries together.

The UN Inter-Agency Games is a time when the UN organizations can come together, as a
unique reminder to us that we are all part of the same family. By bringing together more than
156 nationalities, the UN Games reaffirms UNESCO's pledge of sport as a true enabler of peace and
sustainable development.

UNESCO is the United Nations’ lead agency for Physical Education and Sport and as a founding
member, UNESCO has played a vital role in the organization of the UN Games. It has hosted the
event over eight times with the aim to bring together staff of the United Nations family to meet
through sporting events and thereby improve mutual understanding and working relations, and
create a convivial and challenging atmosphere. In addition, the universal framework of sports
values, namely, team spirit, integrity, respect, fairness and inclusion has guided UNESCO’s active
participation.

Sport is about both self-effort and collective effort, individual activity and social practice; it relies
upon the concepts of respect, understanding, integration and dialogue, and it contributes to the
development and fulfilment of individuals regardless of age, gender, origins, beliefs and opinions.
That is why sport is a unique forum for action and reflection to transform our societies. Sport is
a powerful vehicle for social inclusion, gender equality and youth empowerment, with benefits
far beyond the stadiums. The values acquired through sport such as fair play and team spirit, are
invaluable to the whole of society.

At a time when more of us are looking for new ways to channel our creative forces, there are certain
efforts that challenge us as we strive to set new goals, achieve them and experience a sense of
euphoria, both spiritual and physical. Undoubtedly, active participation in sports can create this
kind of feeling. The United Nations Inter-Agency Games can be a source for you to channel this
energy.

I am pleased to welcome over 1000 UN staff members pertaining to 50 entities of the United
Nations System to the 46th edition of the Games.

                                                                    Audrey Azoulay

Message from the
Minister for Foreign Affairs

Dear participants to the 46th Inter-Agency Games,

Welcome to Lisbon!

It is an honour to host in our capital this long and successful initiative, which is held for
the first time in Portugal.

Lisbon is proudly a multicultural city – a place of encounters, open to the world, and
committed to contributing to a sustainable society model.

Through sports, we promote not only a healthier life, but also a salutary competitive
spirit, empathy, and solidarity which work as true bridges and are facilitators of mutual
understanding between people of different nationalities and backgrounds as are these
athletes, thus echoing Article 1 of the General Rules of the Games.

I wish the best of luck to all participants – staff, consultants, and retirees – who are
competing this year and I send the best wishes to this year’s host, UNESCO.

                                                                    Augusto Santos Silva
                                                               Minister for Foreign Affairs

                                                                                                5

Message from the President
    of the UNESCO Inter-Agency
    Games Committee

    Dear Friends and Colleagues,

    We, as the UNESCO Inter-Agency Games (IAG) Committee, are extremely delighted to welcome
    you to Lisbon, the stunning capital city of Portugal, and one of the most charismatic and vibrant
    cities of Europe.

    In 2019, UNESCO takes pride in leading the organization of the 46th UN IAG. In 1968, UNESCO was
    the lead agency, together with UN Geneva, who started the IAG in order to bring together staff
    of the UN to participate in a fun and challenging atmosphere. Today, 51 years later, the IAG has
    grown from 4 UN Organizations and 300 participants to more than 1500 UN staff members and
    over 50 UN entities.

    We have a very small but dedicated Committee who have worked tirelessly to make the 46th
    UN IAG a most enjoyable experience for you. The cooperation, solidarity and teamwork that has
    been demonstrated by our team has been totally inspirational, given the short time that we had
    to ensure that this event materializes.

    We do hope that you have a wonderful time in Lisbon and may the spirit of the UN IAG live on for
    a very long time! Good luck and have fun!

    Best regards,

                                                                 Rovani Sigamoney
