|'''WikiProject United Nations''' aims to facilitate cooperation between the United Nations, other Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) and the Wikimedia movement. These pages provide a guide on what work can be done with simple guides on how to contribute so that everyone can take part.

The main goals of the project are to:

# Help navigate and organise sharing of United Nations media content, text and data on Wikimedia projects. 
# Improve information on the United Nations, UN agencies and their programmes e.g. World Heritage Sites.
