• Website maintenance
• Preparation of project proposals
• Working on the bi-monthly newsletter – UN Connections

• Participated in UN Preparatory Committees for major conferences, produced position papers and represented WFUNA at the conference
• Designed, organized and conducted a session of the WFUNA Academy for A Better UN for UNA participants, in the context of major UN conferences
• Conducted research and produced papers on aspects of international law that are now on the WFUNA website - under the WFUNA Academy for a Better UN
• Produced strategy papers for UNAs to participate in the Global Compact – published on the WFUNA website
• Created new online networks, particularly relating to youth and Model UN
