[edit] Uniqueness
With communication technologies advancing at a tremendous rate, electronic information centres, online research organizations and specialized e-networks are becoming increasingly common and duplicative. UNPAN is different. Its substantive capacity and specialized service combine to create a uniqueness that sets UNPAN apart from conventional web-based information sources. The one feature that is most unusual about UNPAN is its universality as an online public sector policy and management information and knowledge network. UNPAN offers:
- Far-reaching access to regional experience in the practice of public policy development and management at the regional, national and local levels;
- Capacity-building and south-south cooperation in information and knowledge management;
- Ease of access to worldwide information in all areas of public sector policy and management;
- Demand-driven and interactive two-way provider of information and knowledge network.
Most significantly, UNPAN is a dynamic process and not a static outcome which aims at responding to the needs of its users and addresses their most critical areas of work. With a constituency as diverse as the membership of the United Nations, UNPAN's key advantage will be its ability to provide insight, flexibility and reliability in order to ensure that the primary needs of its users are met.
